TL;DR: In this article, a new metal-organic framework of lead, [Pb(1,5nds)(H 2 O) 3 ] n (1, 5nds] = 1,5-naphthalenedisulfonate) having prominent nonlinear optical property has been prepared by single gel diffusion technique at ambient condition using sodium metasilicate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors prove that trees, unicyclic graphs, mCn,m > 1, cycle with a chord, the graph obtained by joining two copies of cycle Cn by a path Pk and the graph defined by path union of k copies of Cn, when the path Pn = P2 are square sum.
Abstract: A (p, q)-graph G is said to be square sum, if there exists a bijection f : V(G) — {0,1, 2,...,p — 1} such that the induced function f * : E(G) — N given by f * (uv) = (f (u))2 + (f (v))2 for every uv G E(G) is injective. In this paper we initiate a study on square sum graphs and prove that trees, unicyclic graphs, mCn,m > 1,cycle with a chord, the graph obtained by joining two copies of cycle Cn by a path Pk and the graph defined by path union of k copies of Cn, when the path Pn = P2 are square sum.

TL;DR: The study indicates that the cytotoxicity is an integral function of size and shape of NPs, physical parameters of the cell culture media in addition to the post entry biochemical interactions with the host cell.
Abstract: Size dependent cytotoxicity of ZnS nanoparticles (NPs) was investigated in Human embryonic kidney (HEK-293) cell lines by MTT assay. The cells were incubated with varying concentration of ZnS NPs of sizes 4 nm, 10 nm and 25 nm for 48 h under different (cell culture) media viscosity conditions. The results showed that the toxicity is decreased with the particle size while it is negatively correlated with the viscosity of the media. Theoretical calculations were performed, by assuming equivolume stress model and the same is explained with schematics. Similarly, the effect of particle size and shape on toxicity is explained based on the theoretical calculation of the stress. The calculations showed that out of the possible cellular entry mechanisms for the cubic or cage shaped NPs, the highest toxicity is predicted for the entry through the corners while the lowest toxicity is predicted for the entry through the faces. The experimental observations depicting the cytotoxicity as a function of the viscosity of cell culture media was also validated by stress calculations and are found to be consistent. Studies on size and shape dependence of semiconductor NPs like ZnS is rather scarce, while the role of viscosity of cell culture media on the cytotoxicity is being reported for the first time. In summary, the study indicates that the cytotoxicity is an integral function of size and shape of NPs, physical parameters of the cell culture media in addition to the post entry biochemical interactions with the host cell.
