A new PVC membrane electrode for the triiodide ion based on a charge-transfer complex of iodine with 7,16-dibenzyl-1,4,10,13-tetraoxa-7,16-diazacyclooctadecane as a membrane carrier was prepared. The electrode exhibits a Nernstian response for triiodide ions over a wide concentration range (1.0 x 10(-1)-1.0 x 10(-5) M) with a slope of 59.3 +/- 0.9 mV decade(-1) and a detection limit of 6.3 x 10...

This study used a hydrothermal approach to create sensitive and focused nanoprobe. Using an “on-off-on” sensing mechanism, the nanoprobe was employed detect quantify ferric ions L-ascorbic acid. Synthesis of carbon quantum dots achieved with single step at 180°C for 24 hours using hot pepper as starting material. The prepared CQDs showed high fluorescence yield 30% when excited 350 nm, exhibiti...

Recent research suggests that systemic signalling and communication between roots and leaves plays an important role in plant defence against herbivores. In the present study, we show that the oviposition of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae in the systemic leaves of citrus rootstock Citrus aurantium (sour orange) was reduced by 50% when a lower leaf was previously infested with c...

comaring the capability of photocatalyst nano zinc oxide process by two slurry and immobilized methods in dye acid orange 7 removal introduction everyday million liters of color wastewater are produced in different industries and cuases environmental problems. the textile industry significantly affects the environment, producing high volume of wastewater from water and chemicals used in process...

in this paper, leaching of lead and cadmium was investigated from porcelain over glaze designs between different colors.  also the effect of microwave heating was considered on leaching of lead and cadmium.  dishes were selected with a decor with the dominant color of gray, red, yellow, blue, and dark blue. amounts of cadmium and lead which leached from the container by acetic acid and orange j...

Preliminary studies by Beers et a2. (1) have shown that the zinc salt of acridine orange can either inhibit or accelerate the rate of polymerization of polynucleotides by polynucleotide phosphorylase of Micrococcus lysodeileticus, depending upon the experimental conditions. We have now confirmed these findings with the zinc-free dye. Some evidence for a reversal of inhibition with degraded ribo...

Consumers increasingly require innovative food products with health benefits. Thus, a dried orange juice incorporating probiotics could be a novel challenge. In this context, we investigated whether different sugars added to the culture media used for growth of two lactic acid bacteria contributed to their protection during spray drying in orange juice and subsequent storage under different con...

Monascus purpureus C322 was cultivated on well-established production media to yield prevailingly red or orange pigment-rich ethanolic extracts. Once these extracts had been diluted by an overall factor of 50, they were used as such to dye raw wool standard specimens differently premordanted using alum or stannic chloride. Independently of the mordant used, the specimens dyed with the red pigme...
