cellulose sulfuric acid as a bio-polymer based solid catalyst efficiently catalyzes the selectively oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and thiols to disulfides using hydrogen peroxide as a green oxidant with good yields at room temperature. the developed method offers a number of advantages such as high selectivity, mild reaction conditions, simple operation, cleaner reaction profiles, low cos...

Prunus avium cv. 'Fuchen' is a cultivated species with high-profile economic benefit. Four media were used as basal equipped four exogenous hormones to establish an intact regeneration system. Sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) and active carbon (AC) improved the browning phenomenon. The results indicated that 1.0 g/L of AC 30 Na2S2O3 best combination inhibit on optimal medium - olive (OM) (followed ...

Oxalic acid dihydrate as a green, mild and efficient catalyst for the one-pot three-component Biginelli synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-one derivatives from the reaction between β-keto esters (methyl or ethyl acetoacetate), aromatic aldehyde (benzaldehye derivatives) and urea or thiourea under thermal and solvent-free conditions with excellent yields and short reaction time is st...

Ingestion of artificial debris is considered as a significant stress for wildlife including sea turtles. To investigate how turtles react to artificial debris under natural conditions, we deployed animal-borne video cameras on loggerhead and green turtles in addition to feces and gut contents analyses from 2007 to 2015. Frequency of occurrences of artificial debris in feces and gut contents col...

A fluorescent nucleic acid stain that does not penetrate living cells was used to assess the integrity of the plasma membranes of bacteria. SYTOX Green nucleic acid stain is an unsymmetrical cyanine dye with three positive charges that is completely excluded from live eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Binding of SYTOX Green stain to nucleic acids resulted in a > 500-fold enhancement in fluoresc...

Grass, clover and alfalfa are used for production of fodder pellets. In the green crop drying factories in the northern countries the drying is combined with pressing of the green crops resulting in production of large volumes of plant juices, green and brown juice. In order to get rid of these enormous amounts of plant juice, representing an environmental threat, it is our aim to convert the s...

Acridine orange is a metachromatic intercalator used extensively in histochemistry to differentiate double- from single-stranded (ds, ss) nucleic acid by the emission of green and red fluorescence, respectively, under ultraviolet light. In the present study we standardised a protocol in order to use acridine orange to detect rotavirus ds RNA in polyacrylamide gels and compared it to silver and ...

In this study, multi component Hantzsch reaction was carried out between various  Aromatic Aldehyde with Dimedone,Ethyl acetateand ammonium acetate to produce polyhydroquinolinederivatives under solvent-free conditions at 110oC by a (Zinc oxide  nanocatalyst) as effective Lewis acid. The remarkable advantages offered by this method compared with other methods are a green catalyst, simple work-u...

in this research, so3h-functionalizedphthalimide (sfp) has been prepared through simple reaction of phthalimide with chlorosulfonic acid, and characterized using ft-ir, 1h nmr, 13c nmr, sem (scanning electron microscopy), mass and tg (thermal gravimetric) spectra. afterward, the solid acid has been utilized as an efficient, green, heterogeneous and recyclable catalyst for the solvent-free synth...
