ABSTRACTMagnetic nanoparticles have drawn much attention due to their potential in magnetic recording as well as many biological and medical applications such as magnetic separation, hyperthermia treatment, magnetic resonance contrast enhancement and drug delivery. The magnetic fields generated by these nanoparticles can be used for diagnostics in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) etc. Manganese doped tin dioxide (SnO2:Mn) possess interesting physical and chemical properties. The physical and chemical properties of the particles themselves like the size, shape, crystallinity and composition, will control the magnetic properties and response of the particles to magnetic fields. Our work is rooted to control the properties of the particles as well as tailor their magnetic properties for specific applications. In this study, SnO2: Mn films with different Mn doping concentrations (0-3 mol%) were deposited on the glass substrates by sol-gel dip coating technique. XRD patterns shows tetragonal structure for all the SnO2:Mn films and crystallite size decreased as Mn doping concentration increased from 0 - 3 mol%. The magnetic property shows that pure SnO2 film is diamagnetic and 1- 3 mol% SnO2:Mn films posses room temperature ferromagnetism. The optical properties of the films revealed that transmittance of the films decreased with increase in Mn doping concentration. The optical energy band gap values (3.55 eV-3.71 eV) increased with the increase in Mn doping concentrations. Such SnO2:Mn films with structural, optical and magnetic properties can be used as dilute magnetic semiconductors.

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.
