Electrophoresis of serum on filter paper followed by staining 3 of the lipoprotein fractions with lipid dyes is technically the simplest method for the separation and estimation of serum lipoproteins. A number of procedures for the staining of separated lipoproteins on paper with various lipid dyes have appeared (1-8), but the only comprehensive consideration of the quantitative aspects of dye ...

BACKGROUND British mosquito population distribution, abundance, species composition and potential for mosquito disease transmission are intimately linked to the physical environment. The presence of ponds and water storage can significantly increase the density of particular mosquito species in the garden. Culex pipiens is the mosquito most commonly found in UK gardens and a potential vector of...

OBJECTIVE To compare mean micro-leakage around 3 types of temporary restorative materials in-vitro, when placed adjacent to permanent restorations (amalgam) in complex endodontic access cavities. STUDY DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Dental Clinics, Dental Laboratory and Research Laboratory at The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, from January to June 20...

This report is to address the question if black γ-polymorph of cesium tin tri-iodide (B-γ-CsSnI3) can be used as a solid-state hole-transport material in the conventional DSSCs with the N719 dye to replace the liquid electrolyte as reported by I. Chung et al. on Nature 485, 486, (2012). Here we demonstrate rigorously that B-γ-CsSnI3 is not energetically possible to collect photogenerated holes ...

Decolorization of azo dye Red 3BN by two bacterial species Bacillus cereus and B. megaterium has been analyzed using mineral effluent, consisting of known concentration of the dye in ZZ medium. Physico chemical parameters like carbon source, nitrogen source, temperature, pH and inoculum volume are optimized for the decolorization process by changing one parameter at a time. Optimal condition fo...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Synthetic dyes are recalcitrant to degradation and toxic to different organisms. Decolorization of textile wastewaters is one of the major concerns since last decades. Physical-chemical treatments are very expensive and frequently producing large amounts of toxic wastes. Biological treatments can be more convenient. In the present study, an attempt has been made for de...

We have developed a photoelectric dye-coupled polyethylene film as a prototype of retinal prosthesis, named “Okayama University-type retinal prosthesis. The purposes of this study are to conduct behavior tests to assess vision in Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rats which underwent subretinal implantation of the dye-coupled film, and are also to reveal the retinal response to the dye-coupled fi...
