TL;DR: In this paper, the fabrication of a super-hydrophobic CuO coating with excellent self-cleaning ability by a custom-made jet nebulizer spray pyrolysis technique was demonstrated.
Abstract: We demonstrate for the first time the fabrication of a superhydrophobic CuO coating with excellent self-cleaning ability by a custom-made jet nebulizer spray pyrolysis technique. A stable Cassie–Baxter superhydrophobic wetting state (water contact angle, ~154°) was maintained even after high speed water jet impact on a monoclinic CuO crystallite coating, which realizes the robust feature of coating. The mist-type aerosol distribution from the nebulizer controls the resultant morphology of the CuO film, thereby tuning the superhydrophobic properties. The low-cost (~$1) portable pocket-sized nebulizer affords reliable CuO superhydrophobic coatings on a wide range of desired host surfaces.

TL;DR: Curcumin and AG suppressed selenium-induced oxidative stress and cataract formation in isolated lens from Wistar rat pups, possibly by inhibiting depletion of enzymic as well as non-enzymic antioxidants, and preventing uncontrolled generation of free radicals and also by inhibition of iNOS expression.

TL;DR: A detailed feasibility study has been carried out on the photocatalytic degradation of the azo dyes at various pH and at various concentrations of photocatalyst, dye and H2O2 as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Nanosized magnetic Fe3O4 synthesized via sonochemical route was used as a photocatalyst for the degradation of azo dyes, methyl red and congo red. The novelty of the photo catalyst is its easy recovery by magnetic force and its recycling ability due to its long-term stability, in addition to its cost effectiveness, non-toxicity and non-carcinogenicity. A detailed feasibility study has been carried out on the photocatalytic degradation of the azo dyes at various pH and at various concentrations of photocatalyst, dye and H2O2. The presence of photocatalyst is found to significantly accelerate the degradation of azo dyes and the optimal dosage is found to be 0.075 and 0.2 g/l for methyl red and congo red, respectively. Langmuir–Hinshelwood kinetic analysis revealed pseudo-first-order kinetics for the photocatalytic degradation of the dyes and the degradation products were identified using spectral analysis. The degradation study revealed the following order of reactivity: Photo-Fe3O4 > Photo-H2O2 > Fe3O4 > H2O2.
