A new technique is proposed for the simultaneous analysis of a mixture of the fluorescent dyes Fluorescein, Rhodamine 6G and Rhodamine B by two kinds of artificial neural networks (ANNs): back propagation neural networks (BPNNs) and radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs). Both have been successfully applied to model the system. The synchronous fluorescence spectra (Dl = 25.0 nm) of 52 s...

Rhodamine B based fluorescence thermometry is commonly used in microfluidics to measure fluid temperatures in microchannels. Notable absorption of Rhodamine B into PDMS channel walls, however, causes difficulties in obtaining accurate temperature measurements due to a steady increase in the overall fluorescent signal. A simple and effective technique is reported that removes the fluorescent sig...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the exposure of different endodontic materials to different dye solutions by evaluating the optical density of the dye solutions. Seventy-five plastic tubes were filled with one of the following materials: AH Plus, Sealapex, Portland cement, MTA (Angelus and Pro Root) and fifteen control plastic tubes were not. Each specimen of material and c...

The cross-β peptide architecture is associated with numerous functional biomaterials and deleterious disease related aggregates. While these diverse and ubiquitous paracrystalline assemblies have been widely studied, a fundamental understanding of the nucleation and aggregation pathways to these structures remains elusive. Here we highlight a novel application of fluorescence lifetime imaging m...

The removal of rhodamine B and malachite green from aqueous solutions was studied in batch adsorption systems using Tamarindus Indica fruit shells as sorbents. The well known Freundlich, Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson isotherm equations were applied to the equilibrium sorption data obtained. The sorption dynamics were found to obey the pseudo-second order rate equation and particle diffusions ap...

The intensity of two-photon-excited fluorescence measured relative to the intensity of hyper-Rayleigh scattering in the same apparatus was used to determine the two-photon-excited fluorescence cross sections of the xanthene dyes Rhodamine B, Rhodamine 6G, and Fluorescein. The measured cross sections at l0 5 1064 nm are s2PF (2) 5 1.5 6 0.3 3 10250 cm4 s, 2.0 6 0.4 3 10250 cm4 s, and 1.4 6 0.3 3...

ess as: P r visibl niversity 2013.11.0 Abstract In this study, laponite and montmorillonite clays were found to be able to decompose rhodamine B upon visible light irradiation (k > 420 nm). Very interestingly, it was found that rhodamine B on laponite underwent a stepwise N-deethylation and its decomposition was terminated once rhodamine 110, as a decomposition product, was formed, whereas the ...
