Nanocomposite of Ag/TiO2 and nanocrystalline TiO2 were prepared by using TiCl4 as a precursor in a simple sol-gel process. The prepared photo-catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). A complete and effective photocat...

The cytotoxic activity of 10 analogs of the idealized amphipathic helical 21-mer peptide (KAAKKAA)3, where three of the Ala residues at different positions have been replaced with Trp residues, has been investigated. The peptide's cytotoxic activity was found to be markedly dependent upon the position of the Trp residues within the hydrophobic sector of an idealized α-helix. The peptides with T...

Chemical modification of chloromethylstyrene - styrene copolymer throughout reaction p-substituted carboxylic acid group bis-(4,4`-dibromo)-4``-triphenylamine with the chloromethyl attached to a phenyl was carried out on soluble and polymeric cross-linked copolymer. oxidation neutral triphenylamine antimony pentachloride in dichloromethane solvent gives corresponding cation radical salt counter...

Sargassum muticum is an invasive species to the coasts of British Isles, mainland Europe and North America, with negative ecological socioeconomic impacts. Pelagic inundations on beaches Caribbean have also been causing adverse health, economic effects. The finding commercial uses these biomasses may alleviate costs removal control. Both pelagic S. could be low-cost biosorbents for removing aqu...
