Metal-oxide nanoparticles with high surface area, controllable functionality and thermal and mechanical stability provide high affinity for enzymes when the next generation of biosensor applications are being considered. We report on the synthesis of metal-oxide-based nanoparticles (with different physical and chemical properties) using hydrothermal processing, photo-deposition and silane functionalization. Physical and chemical properties of the user-synthesized nanoparticles were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and Raman scattering, respectively. Thus, characterized metal-oxide-based nanoparticles served as nanosupports for the immobilization of soybean peroxidase enzyme (a model enzyme) through physical binding. The enzyme–nanosupport interface was evaluated to assess the optimum nanosupport characteristics that preserve enzyme functionality and its catalytic behavior. Our results showed that both the nanosupport geometry and its charge influence the functionality and catalytic behavior of the bio-metal-oxide hybrid system.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

Organic farming is one of the management strategies that improve productivity of marginal uplands. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate effects of various organic-based fertilizers on the growth and yield of corn; (2) determine the appropriate combination for optimum yield; and (3) assess changes on the soil physical and chemical properties. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design, with 3 replications and 7 treatments, namely; T0=(0-0-0); T1=1t ha-1 Evans + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T2=t ha-1 Wellgrow + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T3=15t ha-1 chicken dung; T4=10t ha-1 chicken dung + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T5=15t ha-1 Vermicast; and T6=10t ha-1 Vermicast + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1. Application of organic-based fertilizers with or without inorganic fertilizers promoted growth of corn than the control. But due to high infestation of corn silk beetle(Monolepta bifasciata Horns), its grain yield was greatly affected. In the second cropping, except for Evans, any of these fertilizers applied alone or combined with 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 appeared appropriate in increasing corn earyield. Soil physical and chemical properties changed with addition of organic fertilizers. While bulk density decreased irrespective of treatments, pH, total N, available P and exchangeable K generally increased more with chicken dung application.
