We have investigated third order nonlinear optical properties and spectral characteristics of methylene blue dye in both polymer and liquid mixtures. The spectral characteristics of the dye is studied by recording the absorption and fluorescence spectra of the dye doped in poly(methylmethacrylate) modified with additive n-butyl acetate(nBA) and the dye in MMA and nBA (liquid mixture). The spect...

background dyes are one of the most important industrial pollutants, especially in textile industries. many methods have been proposed in order to remove color from wastewater among which, adsorption is more acceptable due to the ability for its use in the large scale. objectives the objective of this study was to investigate pumice as an inexpensive adsorbent for removal of methylene blue from...

Methylene blue is widely used in various industrial branches. Due to insufficient treatment, its occurrence in wastewater is frequently detected, which may result in serious environment problems to aquatic organisms. Hydroponic experiments were conducted with rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L. cv. XZX 45) exposed to methylene blue to determine the effective concentration using relative gr...

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is transported across the biological membrane into various organs by transport systems. Riboflavin transporter RFVT3 is expressed in the small intestine and has been suggested to localize in the apical membranes of the intestinal epithelial cells. In this study, we investigated the functional involvement of RFVT3 in riboflavin absorption using intestinal ep...

methemoglobinemia is a disorder characterized by the presence of a higher than normal level of methemoglobin. prilocaine which is one of the oxidizing local anaesthetics is widely used in many local procedures. the first choice of treatment of complications due to the use of these local anaesthetics is methylene blue, while ascorbic acid is the alternative choice. the side effects of metilen bl...

to compare three various methods in the diagnosis of dentinal cracks formed in the apical third after root resection.one hundred extracted human maxillary central incisors were selected. the root canals were prepared with step-back technique. then 3mm from the apical end of all roots was cut perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth. the apical end of each root was evaluated to make sure ther...

INTRODUCTION We describe a unique method that combines ultrasound and electromyography to guide intramuscular diaphragm injections in anesthetized large animals. METHODS Ultrasound was used to visualize the diaphragm on each side of spontaneously breathing, anesthetized beagle dogs and cynomolgus macaques. An electromyography (EMG) needle was introduced and directed by ultrasound to confirm t...

The objective of this study was to investigate the biosorption of an azo dye (Methylene blue) by a wetland phytomass (Typha angustata) under post-phytoremediation scenario. Thus, the phytomass was used without any chemical modification. The batch adsorption experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of contact time and temperatures (25–45 C) on the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) from...
