Abstract:
High aspect ratio calcium phosphate (CaP) nanorods were achieved by out-of-phase pulsed sonoelectrodeposition from electrolytic aqueous bath composed of calcium nitrate, ammonium dihydrogenophosphate and surfactant at pH of 4.9. The nature of CaP phases was determined by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The results reveal the predominantly presence of calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA). The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyzes highlighted that the nanorods are polycristalline and have an aspect ratio up to 30.

Pulse Rate and its Significance
Pulse rate, often measured in beats per minute (bpm), reflects the heart rate (HR), which is influenced by numerous factors such as stress, physical activity, and hormonal changes. A normal resting adult pulse rate falls...
