Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanopowders in different concentrations were successfully synthesized via sol-gel route. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The samples were polycrystalline in nature with anatase, rutile or a mixture of anatase and rutile phases. The diameter of nanoparticles was estimated as being: 28.70, 31.05, and 32.94 nm for 0.1, 0.3, and 1.0 molar concentration, respectively. The sharp peaks in FTIR spectrum determined the purity of TiO2 nanopowders. Antibacterial action of the products against Staphylococcus aureus (PTCC 1189) was evaluated by colony counting method. The photo catalytic property of TiO2 nanopowders was investigated following inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus (PTCC 1189) by irradiation with a UV-B lamp. The TiO2 nanopowders have a main antibacterial effect on S. aureus (PTCC 1189) at concentration of 1 mg/mL. Increasing the molarity from 0.1 to 1.0 M has decreased the viable cell concentration of S. aureus (PTCC 1189) from 95.21 % to 6.73 % after 3 hours..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
