The dyeing processes of the textile industry generate waste products such as unfixed dyes, phenolic surfactants and heavy metals. These constitute an environmental problem for bodies receiving their wastewater due to interruption lighting in aquatic environment release toxic molecules by decomposition dyes. There are several treatment methods, which biological methods most feasible. In current ...

We report the design and characterization of a metal ion-imidazole self-assembled monolayer on a gold electrode. The resultant monolayer is well-suited for direct immobilization of histidine and methylene blue-modified peptides.

Effects of porous carbon-fiber-reinforced carbon-matrix ceramics (C/C) on the stability second-mode waves a 7°-half-angle cone were investigated for Reynolds numbers Rem=2.43×106–6.40×106 m−1 at freestream Mach number M∞=7.4, both sharp and 2.5-mm-round nose tips. A broadband time-domain impedance boundary condition was used to model effects C/C porosity flow dynamics leveraging direct ultrason...

in medicine, patent blue violet (pbv) is utilized for staining lymphatic vessels in sentinel lymph node (sln) surgery. moreover, pbv (also called e131 ) is used as food additive. we report on a 51-year-old non-atopic female with early breast cancer, who was scheduled for sln excision and experienced an intra-operative anaphylactic reaction. in diagnostics the skin prick test (spt) was positive ...

introduction: development of brain edema following focal cerebral ischemia exacerbates primary ischemic injury. blood brain barrier (bbb) opening is an important part of edema named as vasogenic brain edema. in this study, quantitative alterations of bbb permeability is experimentally evaluated using transient focal cerebral ischemia in the rat. methods: two groups of male rats (ischemic and sh...

Fried chicken samples were sourced from two vending sites (from street vendors and fast food centers) in Ikpoba Okha, Oredo and Egor LG as in Benin City. Bacteria growth was observed using Nutrient Agar, the presence of E.coli was detected using Eosine Methylene Blue and Fungi growth was observed by using Potato Dextrose Agar. Proximate composition for the fried chicken samples indicated that t...

statement of problem: early diagnoses of oral malignancies and pre-malignancies have direct effect in the outcome of these lesions. therefore the techniques for early diagnosis have been considered as useful method in practice. purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of oratest and generic toluidine blue (gtb) in the detection of oral malignancy and premalignancy. materia...
