This paper presents u-Photo which is an interactive digital still image including information of pervasive services associated with networked appliances and sensors in pervasive computing environment. U-Photo Tools can generate a u-Photo and provide methods for discovering contextual information about these pervasive services. Users can easily find out this information through the metaphor of ‘...

a general overview on the prospective of various oxidation and combined processes in the treatment of tannery industry effluent are reported. various oxidation and combined processes such as uv/h2o2/hypochlorites, fenton and electro-oxidation, photo-chemical, photo-catalytic, electro-catalytic oxidation, wet air oxidation, ozonation, biological followed by ozone/uv/ h2o2, coagulation or ele...

Photo-labile molecules have been widely used not only in organic synthesis but also in biological study. The chemistry of the typical photo-labile organic molecules, including their structure, mechanism underlying their photo-lability and strategies to integrate them with biomolecules, is reviewed to illustrate the structural basis for photo-activable caged compounds. Biological applications of...

In this paper a new approach for matching aspect ratio of a digital photo for borderless printing by complementing it with fragments extracted from the same photo is proposed. This approach comprises analysis of side strips of the source photo in order to estimate the possibility to complement it without visible artifacts; complementing one or both opposite sides of the photo, matching the desi...

the heterogeneous photo-fenton degradation of crystal violet under visible light has been investigated usingcopper modified iron oxide. the photocatalyst has been prepared by coprecipitation method. the rate ofphotocatalyic degradation of dye was monitored spectrophotometrically. it has been observed thatphotocatalytic degradation follows pseudo first order kinetics. the effect of various param...

here, in situ synthesis of nano zinc oxide, along with aminolysis of polyester fabric, has simultaneously been carried out by using triethanol amine (tea) and zinc acetate. the zno nano particles (nps) were formed and stabilized on the fabric surface by amine compound at 130 °c for 1 h. the synthesis of nano zno particles on the polyester fabric were confirmed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) pattern...

Nanostructured hematite thin films are doped with zirconium successfully and also modified by introducing CNT using sol-gel method for their implementation as photo-electrode in photo-electrochemical (PEC) cell for hydrogen generation. XRD, UV-visible spectroscopy and PEC study techniques are used to characterize the thin films. The PEC responses of thin films are improved by introducing carbon...

The aim of this work is to compare the antimicrobial efficiency of aminolevulinic acid-based photosensitization (ALA-photo) and chlorophyllin-based photosensitization (CHL-photo) against Gram-positive Listeria monocytogenes and Gram-negative Salmonella enterica, to assess some quantitative inactivation parameters of their survival curves and to propose a strategy for their effective inactivatio...
