The study evaluated the aseptic establishment of Monstera acuminata Koch and deliciosa Liebm (Araceae) from leaves induction in vitro organogenesis M. K. stem discs young shoots. For this purpose, different disinfection protocols were applied to mature shoots, which leaf explants approximately 1 cm2 mm thickness extracted. established semi-solid media with hormone treatments during stage organo...

OBJECTIVES to assess the conditioning effect (CE) of self-etch adhesives of different acidity applied to thick and thin smear layer (SL), the corresponding resin tags (RT) and hybrid layer (HL). METHODS Twenty-seven molars had their occlusal dentin exposed and were sectioned into two halves. Each of them was ground with a 60 or 600-grit SiC paper, respectively for thick and thin SL production...

The contamination of industrial cooling towers has been identified as one cause of legionellosis, but the real risk has been underestimated. Two different disinfection treatments were tested on Legionella colonization in an industrial Cooling Tower System (CTS). Environmental monitoring of Legionella, P. aeruginosa, and a heterotrophic plate count (HPC) at 36 °C was performed from June to Octob...

Ship ballast water treatment methods face many technical challenges. The effectiveness of every treatment method usually is evaluated by using large scale equipment and a large volume of samples, which involves time-consuming, laborious, and complex operations. This paper reports the development of a novel, simple and fast platform of methodology in evaluating the efficiency and the best parame...

This research was conducted to assessment effect of different concentrations of sodium hypochlorite along several times on quantitative parameters of wheat seeds affected by Aspergillus flavus fungus via factorial experiment according randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments consisted four concentrations of sodium hypochlorite or NaClO (C1= 2%, C2= 4%, C3= 6%, and...

We examined the variation with ionic strength (I, adjusted with KCl, KNO(3), KBr, NaCl or NaClO(4)) of the formal potential (E(const)) for glass electrodes exhibiting a Nernstian response (i.e. E(cell)=E(const)-slog[H(+)]). For this purpose, we investigated the different factors included in the formal potential, so we obtained reported values for the liquid junction potential as a function of i...

Xanthone-crown ether (1) reacts with NaClO(4), Mg(ClO(4))(2) and Al(ClO(4))(3) forming the one-dimensional chain dinuclear polymer [Na(2).1.(ClO(4))(2)] (2), the mononuclear complex [Mg.1.(H(2)O)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (3) and an interesting sandwich complex [Al.(1)(2).(H(2)O)(6)](ClO(4))(3) (4) with different ratios of metal-to-ligand, respectively. The anion recognition experiment results show that t...

The macrocyclic ligands 2,3,5,6-Bis{3’-bromo-5’-tert-butyl benzo-5-phenyl benzo} 12C3 (L1), 2,3,5,6-bis{3’-bromo-5’-tert butyl-benzo-5’-phenyl-benzo}15C4 (L2), 2,3,5,6-bis{3’-bromo-5’-tert butyl-benzo-5’-phenyl-benzo}18C5 (L3) have been synthesized and their alkaline metal compounds with NaClO4∙H2O and KClO4  have ...

The disinfection of wastewater is a treatment that allows for its reuse. However, not all pathogenic microorganisms or their resistant structures, e.g., endospores, cysts, oocysts, are eliminated in conventional treatments. This work compared the removal efficacy sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and peracetic acid (PAA) on three strains bacteria isolated from tertiary effluent plant. results inactiv...
