decolorization of remazol brilliant blue r (rbbr) by trametessp. pellets was studied in a batch reactor. dye removal process was performed in shaken flasks which contained 100 ml of rbbr aqueous solution and fungal pellets. the process was followed for 48 h and the dye removal was analyzed at a visible spectrum of 590 nm. response surface methodology (rsm) employing box behnken design at three ...

anodic aluminum oxide (aao) fabricated by two step anodization technique, is used as a template to synthesize feco nanowire arrays by ac electrodeposition technique. response surface methodology (rsm) is applied to design the experiments, fit an empirical model and optimize the conditions to achieve the best magnetic properties. the magnetic properties, pore dimensions, composition and structur...

environmental pollution by 2,4-dicholorphenol (2,4-dcp), commonly found in industrial wastewater has been a concern for humans over the past 50 years. garden radish peroxidase (grp) can eliminate this poisonous pollutant. the aim of this study was to apply an experimental response surface methodology (rsm) and central composite design (ccd) to optimize grp-based treatment in order to maximize t...

bacillus subtilis k40b was isolated from rice rhizospheres and its potential for production of xylanase was evaluated using biochemical methods. the gene for xylanase in b. subtilis k40b was amplified, sequenced and assigned to the ncbi genebank. the gene size was estimated to be 563 bp encoding 413 amino acids. comparison of the xylanase gene with reference sequences showed that the xylanase o...

this study determined optimum conditions for drying pomegranate arils in a solar dryer. a cabinet solar dryer was used in active and mixed modes. the response surface method was employed with nine treatments (runs) and a control run (3 m/s air velocity and 2 cm in thickness) and five replications. the bryte cultivar was tested and samples were dried to approximately 10% moisture. drying time, v...

The earthquake motion at a given point on the surface is commonly represented by elastic response spectra. Seismic codes, however, do not distinguish between ground in county side or within an urban environment. traditional spectra are function of seismological, geological, and geotechnical parameters they based prediction free-field surface, hence, considering propagation seismic waves soil de...

We report the effect of the probe location and wavelength on the emission spatial distribution and spectral properties of fluorophores located on structures which display Tamm states. Our structure consists of a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC)-that is, a multilayer structure of alternate high and low refractive index dielectrics-and a thin top silver film. Simulations show the presence ...

The deposition of x-ray energy resulting from the microexplosion i.o an inertial confinement fusion reactor and the subsequent thermal response of candidate wall coating and structural materials is examined. Evaporation losses and resulting melt layer thicknesses for these materials exposed to a variety of different x-ray energies and spectra are calculated. Softer x-ray energy spectra absorbed...

Three electronic absorption systems for C5 at 511, 445, and 232 nm and one for C6, C8, and C9 centered at 228, 259, and 288 nm have been observed in the gas phase. The C5 chain was produced in both discharge and ablation sources and detected using resonant two-color two-photon ionization spectroscopy involving 10.5 eV photons. The decay of the excited singlet electronic states indicates fast in...
