the present study was designed to develop a simple, validated liquid chromatographic method for the analysis of azithromycin in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms using ultraviolet detector. the best stationary phase was determined as c18 column, 5 µm, 250 mm × 4.6 mm. mobile phase was optimized to obtain a fast and selective separation of the drug. flow rate was 1.5 ml/min, wavelength was se...

the present study concentrates on the synthesis of au nanoparticles (aunps) using aqueous solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvp) and tetrachloroaurate by different methods as thermal, sonochemical and electrochemical reduction. the pvp has been used as a reducing agent and acts as a stabilizer for au nano particles that obtained as principal product. in all synthesis procedures, the active radi...

a novel podand based anion receptor bearing benzimidazole motifs as recognition sites was designed and synthesized by reaction of 1,7-bis(2'-methylbenzoate)-1,4,7-trioxaheptane and phenylenediamine. the binding properties of anionic guest with this receptor were studied using uv-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. these studies revealed that this receptor exhibit selective recognition towards f- ...

the main objective of this research was to synthesize and characterize gold-coated fe3o4 /sio2 nanoshells for clinical applications. magnetite nanoparticles (nps) were prepared via co-precipitation. the results showed that smaller particles can be synthesized by decreasing the naoh concentration, which in our case this corresponded to 35 nm by using 0.9 m of naoh at 750 rpm. the nps were then m...

in this paper, we have described the size-controlled synthesis of gold nanoparticles based on the reduction of au3+ (haucl4 ) using molybdophosphoric acid (h3[pmo12o40 ], hpmo) under uv-irradiation. in the process, hpmo plays the role of photocatalyst, reducing agent and stabilizer and propan-2-ol acts as a sacrificial agent. this method allows the synthesis of uniform hexagonal nanoparticles w...

background the treatment of onychomycosis is a challenge and infections are typically more severe and difficult to treat in toenails than in fingernails. objectives the current study aimed to investigate the fungicidal effect of ultraviolet radiation on the growth of dermatophytes isolated from nails. patients and methods samples from patients with clinical manifestations of onychomycosis were ...

The possibility of detecting proto-galaxies in the UV band is pointed out, assuming galaxy formation occured at z ∼ 5−6. It is shown that the diffuse gas in collapsing galaxy sized objects with temperatures ∼ 10 K, and with a modest amount of metallicity, should copiously produce emission lines from highly ionized Iron atoms. The expected luminosity from models of galaxy formation is compared w...

[1]Zirconametalloarenophanes [Cr(η(5)-C(5)H(4))ZrCp'(2)(η(7)-C(7)H(6))] and [Mn(η(5)-C(5)H(4))ZrCp'(2)(η(6)-C(6)H(5))] (Cp' = C(5)H(4)(t)Bu) have been isolated for the first time. These species represent potential precursors en route to metal-enriched metallopolymers by ROP. The electronic structure was assessed by means of UV-visible spectroscopy and TD-DFT calculations.

A procedure for fabrication of photomasks on photographic films with minimum feature achievable of about 20 μm, which are particularly suitable for the fast prototyping of microfluidic devices, has been improved. We used a commercial photographic enlarger in reverse mode obtaining 10:1 reduction factor with error less than 1%. Masks have been characterized by optical transmission measurement an...
