These 12 steps can save you from COVID-19

Lets all be alert as we will enter stage 3 of COVID-19 soon which is an outbreak of infection in community.

Coronavirus precautions

COVID-19 Precautions for House-holds:

1. Wash milk bags the moment we take it & wash your hands while you are at it.

2. Consider cancelling newspapers and read e-newspaper.

3. Keep a separate tray for couriers. Courier person can place the envelope/package in the tray and courier may be left untouched for at least 24 hours.

4. Instruct maids not to touch main door. On entering the home, she has to immediately wash hands thoroughly, before touching other things . After that, wipe the calling-bell switch with a cleaning fluid.

3. Avoid getting Swiggy, Amazon, etc as far as possible.

4. Wash all fruits and vegetables with warm water once we bring them home.

5. Remote, phone and keyboards are the most highly contaminated elements in our house. Clean them at least once a day using cleaning fluid.

6. Wash hands frequently when in house or in office. Once every hour at least.

7. Avoid public transport as far as possible. Even Ola and Uber may be used when travel is absolutely unavoidable.

8. Avoid gyms, swimming pool and other exercise areas, where surface contact or air-borne contamination is inevitable.

9. Cancel tuitions, dance/music classes, etc. Consider learning through e-sources like you-tube, Google, etc.

10. When you return home from office, shopping, etc. discard your clothes and wash your hands and feet thoroughly.

11. Most importantly do not touch hands anywhere on face. Inform children and parents.

12. Ask senior citizens to stop going for the routine walking exercise.

Conducting Polymers: Definition, Examples, Properties and Applications

Image
What are Conducting Polymers? As the name suggests organic polymers that conduct electricity are known as conducting polymers. They are also known as intrinsically conducting polymers (ICPs) and they have alternating single and double bonds along the polymer backbone (conjugated bonds) or that are composed of aromatic rings such as Phenylene, naphthalene, anthracene, pyrrole, and thiophene which are connected through carbon-carbon single bonds. Examples: Polyacetylene, Polypyrrole, Polyaniline, etc What is the reason behind conducting nature of these polymers? Conducting polymers comes in two forms that are doped conducting polymers and non-doped conducting polymers. The conductivity of non-doped conjugated polymers is due to the existence of a conductivity band similar to a metal. In a conjugated polymer, three of the four valence electrons form strong sigma bonds through sp² hybridization where electrons are strongly localized. The remaining unpaired electron of each carbon atom re

Crime Scene: Definition, Types and Characteristics

What is a Crime Scene ? A place where the crime is committed or where the maximum physical evidence related to crime is found is known as a crime scene. A crime scene is a starting point of the investigation which provides information about the suspect and the victim. This helps to reconstruct the crime and fast resolution of the case. It is noted that the crime scene is not limited to a single place but may extend to a wider area depending upon the nature of the crime committed. For example, In a murder case where murder is done at one place and the body is disposed on another place. In this case, we have two crime scenes that give information about the crime. Types of Crime Scene Based on evidence found on the crime scene: 1. Primary Crime Scene The crime scene where the actual crime occurred or where more usable pieces of evidence were found is known as the primary crime scene. For example, A murder scene, theft, assault, etc. 2. Secondary Crime Scene The crime scene which is some

Raman Spectroscopy: Principle, Instrumentation and Applications

Image
What is Raman Spectroscopy? Raman spectroscopy was given by an Indian Physicist Sir C.V Raman , which is based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light with the sample. The resulting light will have a different frequency than incident light due to this inelastic scattering.  This technique is widely used to analyze vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency interactions in the molecule. This significantly helps in the elucidation of molecular structure, identifying functional groups, etc. Principle of Raman Spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy is based on the inelastic scattering of electromagnetic radiation with the molecule. We have two types of scattering that are elastic and inelastic scattering.  Elastic scattering obeys the Rayleigh law that states that there will be no loss of energy and momentum of the incidence radiation and scattered radiation. That's why this scattering is also known as Rayleigh scattering. Whereas, there will be some conditions (1 in million
