Variations in the composition of the diet influence the rate of appearance of liver tumors in rats fed certain azo dyes. The effective dietary factors and possible mechanisms involved have been reviewed by Rusch, Baumann, Miller, and Kline (14); as yet no generally accepted explanation has been advanced either for the mode of carcinogenic action or for the means by which diet affects it. It has...

Bottom-gate all-aluminum thin film transistors with multi conductor/insulator nanometer heterojunction were investigated in this article. Alumina (Al₂O₃) insulating layer was deposited on the surface of aluminum doping zinc oxide (AZO) conductive layer, as one AZO/Al₂O₃ heterojunction unit. The measurements of transmittance electronic microscopy (TEM) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR) revealed the s...

A flavin reductase, which is naturally part of the ribonucleotide reductase complex of Escherichia coli, acted in cell extracts of recombinant E. coli strains under aerobic and anaerobic conditions as an "azo reductase." The transfer of the recombinant plasmid, which resulted in the constitutive expression of high levels of activity of the flavin reductase, increased the reduction rate for diff...

Since the early observations of Kellner (1936) and Fuller (1937), who demonstrated that p-aminobenzenesulfonamide (sulfanilamide) is formed in animal tissues when prontosill or prontosil soluble2 (neoprontosil3) is administered by mouth, and the studies by Domagk (1935), Colebrook and Kenney (1936), and Colebrook, Buttle, and O'Meara (1936), wherein they were unable to demonstrate an antibacter...

The cell-to-module efficiency gap in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) monolithically integrated solar modules is enhanced by contact resistance between the Al-doped ZnO (AZO) and Mo back contact layers, the P2 contact, which connects adjacent cells. The present work evaluated the P2 contact resistance, in addition to the TCO resistance, using an embedded transmission line structure in a commercial-grade mod...

Zinc oxide (ZnO) photocatalysts were synthesized by sol-gel method using zinc acetate as precursor for degradation of azo dyes under UV irradiation. The resultant samples were characterized by different techniques, such as XRD, SEM, and EDX. The influence of preparation conditions such as calcination temperature and composite ratio on the degradation of methyl orange (MO) was investigated. ZnO ...

Effect of photoaligning azo-dye layers thickness on the alignment quality and multiplex operation of passively addressed ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) 1.5μm display cells has been investigated. An optimal (about 3~5 nm) azo-dye layer thickness, that provides both the highest multiplex operation steadiness and the best contrast ratio of FLC display cells was found.

The azo-azomethine dyes were prepared via condensation reaction of 2,4-dichloro-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine with azo couled 2-(2-mercaptophenylimino)methyl)-4-(aryldiazenyl)phenol. The UV–vis spectra indicated positive solvatochromism in synthesized compound are dependent on the substitution, solvent, pH and temperature. Some compounds exhibited antibacterial, antioxidant activities.
