the nanocomposites of poly (acryl amide-co-acrylic acid) with different contents of naazeolite were prepared using ammonium persulfate as an initiator and n, n′-methylenebisacrylamide as the crosslinker. the morphology was characterized by sem and the structure ofnanocomposite materials was studied with xrd and ft-ir that showed the interaction betweenporous materials and poly (aam-co-aac). the...

The presence of synthetic dyes in textile wastewater is a problematic issue for environmentalist. Nowadays, dye removal is practiced via different methods. Among all these methods, biodecolorization is an ideal technique. The present research apples vermicompost microflora to remove reactive black- C, pH = 7, and under anaerobic condition. At 36h, removal efficiencies of 94.79%, 94.06%, and 93....

Using the combination method with PCR phylogrouping and fimH SNPs analysis, this study investigates the epidemiology of Extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli in China. 116 E. coli strains including (74 from Urine, 39 from other extra-intestinal sources and 3 references strains) were collected. The bacteria Genomic DNA were extracted; phylogroup and the fimH gene amplifications were determined by ...

Methylene blue oxidizes uric acid to allantoin in vitro, analogous to the reaction between uric acid and phosphotungstate, although the rate is considerably slower. The reaction requires oxygen and produces hydrogen peroxide. As little as 10 micromol of methylene blue per liter in a serum sample will produce a measurable difference in the apparent uric acid concentration within 4 h at room temp...

Lyme disease is a leading vector-borne disease in the United States. Although the majority of Lyme patients can be cured with standard 2-4 week antibiotic treatment, 10%-20% of patients continue to suffer from prolonged post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (PTLDS). While the cause for this is unclear, persisting organisms not killed by current Lyme antibiotics may be involved. In our previous s...

A blue compound was prepared from 1 M D-xylose and 0.1 M glycine, and designated Blue-M1, an intermediate color product of melanoidins. As melanoidins are well known to have antioxidative activity as well as high scavenging activity against active oxygen species, the antioxidative activity of Blue-M1 against the peroxidation of linoleic acid was investigated, in addition to the scavenging activ...

In this study, nanoporous hydroxyapatite was synthesized and functionalized via tetraethylenepentamine in order to obtain a novel adsorbent for efficient removal of Acid Blue 25 dye from aqueous solution. Functionalized hydroxyapatite was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (...
