Studies on the Optical Properties and Surface Morphology of Nickel Phthalocyanine Thin Films by Benny Joseph, C. S. Menon

“…Present studies reveal that the optical band gap energies of NiPc thin films are highly dependent on the substrate temperatures. The structure and surface morphology of the films deposited on glass substrates of temperatures 303, 363 and 458K are studied using X-ray diffractograms and Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM), show that there is a change in the crystallinity and surface morphology due to change in the substrate temperatures. …”

Green-Synthesized Sm3+-Doped ZnO Nanoparticles for Multifunctional Applications by Lavanya R., Ramakrishnappa T., Girish K. M., Suresh Kumar K., Basavaraju N., Shilpa B. M.

“…Utilizing the optimized Sm3+ (5 mol%)-doped ZnO nanoparticles, cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) were performed on the prepared electrode, demonstrating the excellent CV properties; this enhancement is attributed to the modification of ZnO’s redox chemistry and the alteration of charge transfer kinetics at the electrode-electrolyte interface due to the addition of Sm3+ into the ZnO structure. The antibacterial activity was performed against two pathogenic strains, i.e., Escherichia coli and Streptococcus aureus. …”

Les Méta-Barons, des cyborgs subversifs ? by Adrien Cascarino

“…To answer this question, this article focuses on the representation of transhuman bodies in La Caste des Méta-Barons, an 8-volume comic strip series written by Alejandro Jodorowsky, drawn by Juan Gimenez and published between 1992 and 2003.The study of this comic strip, contemporary with the beginnings of the transhumanist movement, but above all with the emergence of an ambivalent figure of the cyborg (Haraway, 1984), highlights a certain representation of the posthuman body, which pre-dates current developments on the question.Through the study of the narrative and graphic structure of these albums, this article shows that contrary to appearances, the transhuman bodies of the meta-barons, both cyborg and hybrid, are moving away from the ideal of a divine and all-powerful body and on the contrary blur the line between the augmented body and the disabled body, showing that any physical modification is accompanied by a loss, access to a truly augmented body then passing through the acceptance of this loss.…”
