aims: the synthetic colors are preferred by the food industry because of the variety of shades, intensity, uniformity, excellent solubility and stability. they are used in a variety of food products such as dairy products, beverages, baked products, confections and pet foods. food colors may have toxic effects on the human body. this study aimed to examine the amount of synthetic colors in some...

background: among different pollutants released into the environment, dyes are considered as one of the most dangerous contaminants. in recent years, magnetic nanomaterials have attracted much attention for their dye removal capacity. the aim of this study was to explore the adsorption kinetics of an anionic dye (reactive orange 13 (ro)) by nife2o4 nanoparticles (nife2o4 nps) under various cond...

We consider a multiagent extension of single-agent graph coloring. Multiple agents hold disjoint autonomous subgraphs of a global graph, and every color used by the agents in coloring the graph has associated cost. In this multiagent graph coloring scenario, we seek a minimum legal coloring of the global graph’s vertices, such that the coloring is also Pareto efficient, socially fair, and indiv...

introduction: colored compounds which often are toxic and carcinogen is one of the environmental pollutants. these pollutants should be removed prior than discharge to the environment. the aim of this study was the evaluation of maize tassel powder efficiency for the removal of reactive red 198 dye from synthetic textile wastewater. materials & methods: this experimental study was performed in ...

The purpose of this study was to measure the protective effects of arginine in oxidative coloring or bleaching process. Contact angle measurement, tensile measurement and amino acid analysis were employed. As the first step, it was shown that oxidative coloring or bleaching process decreases hair surface hydrophobicity and tensile strength in wet condition. Next the study has been conducted wit...

the robust coloring problem (rcp) is a generalization of the well-known graph coloring problem where we seek for a solution that remains valid when extra edges are added. the rcp is used in scheduling of events with possible last-minute changes and study frequency assignments of the electromagnetic spectrum. this problem has been proved as np-hard and in instances larger than 30 vertices, meta-...
