Electrospinning is an inexpensive and versatile technique for fabricating micro- nano- scaled fibers. There have been limited attempts to employ it the fabrication of thermochromic (TC) fibers, a three-component (dye, developer, solvent) TC material has required use more complicated coaxial electrospinning technique. Herein, simple novel method creating fibers by single strands poly (methyl met...

adsorbable on an antigen-antibody complex. Its action is inhibited by anticomplementary substances, such as sodium citrate, EDTA, heparin. 2. The quantitative study shows that the intensity of the leuco-agglutination depends on the amount of complement which is present in the reaction: the excess of complement (more than 2/a of normal) inhibits the leuco-agglutination; the optimum is equal to *...

The title compound, C(28)H(30)N(2)O(3)·C(9)H(10)O(5), is a well known red leuco complex of 2-(6-diethyl-amino-3-diethyl-iminio-3H-xanthene-9-yl)benzoate (rhodamine B base abbreviated to RBB: leuco dye) with ethyl gallate (EG: developer). The structure of the complex at room temperature has recently been reported by Sekiguchi, Takayama, Gotanda & Sano [(2007) Chem. Lett. 36, 1010-1011]. The RBB-...

The current study focuses on the development of the modified surface of the alumina by anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate. The synthesized Surfactant Modified Alumina (SMA) effectively associated with dye molecules and amended their properties. The triphenylmethane (CBB) and thiazine dyes (MB) were selected as a simulated dye wastewater system. The removal was carried out by adsorpti...

Perpendicular orientation of the electron donor in relation to the acceptor in the ground state seems to contribute significantly to high rate constants of the photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer (PET) in electron donor-acceptor (DA) type molecules [1]. A very interesting class of molecules in this respect are systems build around a spiro-type carbon atom, separating mutually orthogon...

Sensitivity, stability, and specificity of the color-producing reaction of hydrogen peroxide with bezidine, leuco-malachite green, or o-dianisidine were tested in numerous systems containing hemoglobin and other hemoproteins. Use of urea or low temperature (to minus 12 degrees C), or both, was highly beneficial, especially with leuco-malachite green, for which the color reaction was stable, aft...

A 49-year-old Irishman presented as an emergency with watery diarrhoea and a leuco-erythroblastic anaemia. Investigations showed that he had coeliac disease but no evidence of bone marrow infiltration. His leuco-erythroblastic picture disappeared on treatment with iron and folic acid.

We have prepared a dry film for the enzymic determination of total serum cholesterol. It consists of a transparent support bearing a buffered gelatin layer, and a white reflective spreading layer that contains all of the necessary components for the detection of cholesterol. The method is based on (a) hydrolysis of cholesterol esters to cholesterol by cholesterol ester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.13), ...
