Don’t you think, it is extremely ridiculous that someone is updating his/her blog after so long period? It is almost 10 months that I could not update my blog regularly. I should apologize for that. I am sorry for this. However there were some regions behind this gap in blogging. Umm!! My doctor degree in fact. I was pretty busy for my final doctor thesis, company reports, final lab reports and

DEET: Mosquito repellent

2009-12-12T20:24:00.005+09:00

There's no doubt about mosquitoes and mosquito bites are annoying. What's worse, mosquito bites sometimes transmit serious diseases, such as West Nile virus, malaria and dengue fever. Mosquito bites are caused only by the bite of a female mosquito. The female mosquito feeds off our blood by piercing our skin with her proboscis. While sucking our blood, she also deposits some of her saliva into

Calixarene-based fluoroionophores as sensor for lead and mercury ions

Birendra Babu Adhikari The discovery of crown ethers in the 1960s and their unique complexation properties initiated an explosive development in the field that is now called as host-guest chemistry or within a broader sense of understanding as supramolecular chemistry. This gave rise to an enormous number and structural variety of compounds all tracking back to original crown compounds. Apart

Can Your Kitchen Pass the Food Safety Test?

2009-05-28T22:22:00.004+09:00

Information from the next door:….. …………………….. This post is for general information to all my readers. Talking about our kitchen, that should pass the Food Safety Test and we should be conscious about our eating habit and the place where we prepare and take foods. I have found some general information about the safety of our kitchen and some facts concerning to our health. I hope you will enjoy

Pyrene: Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution of 7-t-butyl-1, 3-dimethylpyrene:

2009-04-30T22:44:00.008+09:00

Pyrene story: Today I am going to present some typical but simple reactions related to pyrene. I think these reactions opens new access for the further synthesis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and these compounds might be the reference compounds that can be used for the study of the biological effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons for the establishment of structure-activity

Flower Chemistry : Hamani in Japan

Flowers of Spring in Japan and HanamiSpring is fast on its way to Japan and with spring comes a fascination with her flowers. The cherry blossom season is so anticipated that there are even calendars that will tell you when the cherry blossoms will start to bloom.The best way to celebrate the flowers of spring in Japan is to head out to a local park or garden for a stroll or a picnic - it’s a

Aspects of Traditional Medicine in Nepal

2009-02-09T09:10:00.002+09:00

Since long we are looking for a huge collection and most scientific book related to Traditional Medicine in Nepal.Its the breakthrough; as recently we have a new book by Prof. M.B. Gewali entitled Aspect of Traditional Medicine in Nepal. This book was edited by Dr. Suresh Awale. Nepal, a small country, stretches from north west to south-east forming an irregular rectangle with 80.4' to 88.12'

Birendra Babu Adhikari: Chemical reaction of molecules in specific and selective ways forms the basis of the living world. Taking clue fromthis, chemists have shifted their focus from molecular chemistry to supramolecular chemistry. In majority of cases, the supramolecular architecture is constructed through selective host-guest interactions. [1] During the molecular evolution of biological

Microwaves as a Reaction Methodology:

2009-01-16T23:42:00.001+09:00

Myself.............There have been many reports of injury to people using microwave ovens to heat water to make hot drinks. Water heated in a microwave oven may be superheated and when objects (e.g. a spoon ) or granulated materials( e.g. instant coffee) are put into it, the water may boil very vigorously or even appear to explode out of the container. The vigorously ejected boiling water can

My side project; just enjoying some reactions: Last few days I was busy in writing annual report, complete my project and enjoying New Year 2009. Therefore I could not write any things in this site. This time I have intended to write about some reactions that I have done myself. This is not my major field but I enjoy doing reactions and explain the structure of some theoretically important

Are You Exposed to Dangerous Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Don't Even Know It?

2008-12-22T22:41:00.006+09:00

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a group of chemicals, over 100 in all, that many Americans may be exposed to. There are many varieties out there, but some of the most well-known are benzo(a)pyrene and naphthalene (used in mothballs). Most commonly, PAHs are released into the air when fossil fuels, gasoline and garbage are burned, but other routes of exposures -- such as eating

OLED material: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in material science

2008-12-17T22:35:00.002+09:00

What I am doing now……………...? We are currently working in the field of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in different parameters, like synthesis of chiral molecules and their separation, preparation of blue fluorescence materials. We are also focusing our project in the synthesis of OLED materials. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are now a days widely using in material chemistry. It exhibits
