The geometries, electronic structures, polarizabilities, and hyperpolarizabilities of organic dye sensitizer 1,4-Phenylenediacetonitrile was studied based on ab initio HF and Density Functional Theory (DFT) using the hybrid functional B3LYP. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrum was investigated by Time Dependent DFT (TDDFT). Features of the electronic absorption spectrum in the visible and near-UV regions were assigned based on TDDFT calculations. The absorption bands are assigned to ???* transitions. Calculated results suggest that the three excited states with the lowest excited energies in 3-Thiophenecarbonitrile is due to photo induced electron transfer processes. The interfacial electron transfer between semiconductor TiO2 electrode and dye sensitizer 3-Thiophenecarbonitrile, is due to an electron injection process from excited dye to the semiconductor’s conduction band. The role of cyanine and methyl group in 3-Thiophenecarbonitrile in geometries, electronic structures, and spectral properties were analyzed.

The Pressure-Volume-temperature(P-V-T) relation using non inverted equation of state (EOS) viz. Murnaghan EOS, Usual-Tait EOS, Vinet EOS, Born-Mayer EOS, Birch EOS, Kumar EOS, Shanker EOS, Brennan Stacey EOS, Poirier- Tarantola EOS, Universal EOS and Freund & Ingalls EOS for NaCl-CsCl type crystals has been studied. It is found that except Murnaghan EOS, Brennan-Stacey EOS and Poirier Tarantola EOS all other EOS gives close agreement with each other even at high compression ranges. Also another remarkable characteristic observed when the value of compression decreases from 0.5 the variation in value of pressure as calculated by different EOS increases.

Nestle is one of the world’s largest and most prominent food companies. Headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland, it was established in 1866 by Henri Nestle. In this article the authors attempted to identify the various problems encountered by the Nestle dealer and to ascertain the group of (based on product variants) worst affected by such problems.

As part of the nuclear power project envisaged during the period of the first republic, attempts have been made to prospect for uranium as raw material for the nuclear reactor. The Biakpa area in the Volta region had been known by the indigenes to be a potential source of this raw material. A field survey had been carried out using a Fieldspec radiation survey meter and the uranium content of some rock samples taken from the area has been determined. The uranium content determined by comparison with an IAEA uranium standard S-13 lot 370 using the track etch technique gave a mean value of 0.018%. The dose rate obtained during the survey ranged from 1.22 - 2.25 µSv/h.
