It is now well established that proteins are continually synthesized and degraded in both developing and mature muscle cells. Consequently, the net rate of protein acretion in muscle is determined by the difference between the rate of protein synthesis and the rate of protein degradation in individual muscle cells. The importance of protein synthesis in determining rate and efficiency of muscle...

background: in this research, the decomposition of aroclor 1254, including 20 kinds of poly chlorinated biphenyls (pcbs), in real waste transformer oil in the presence of peg1000, naoh, zero valent iron and h2o by microwave (mw) irradiation was studied. methods: central composites design (ccd) method was carried out for experimental design. the effects of microwave power levels (200- 1000 w), r...

background: disulfiram is oral aldehyde dehydrogenase (aldh) inhibitor that has been used in the treatment of alcoholism. recent studies show that this drug has anticancer properties; however, its rapid degradation has limited its clinical application. encapsulation of disulfiram polymeric nanoparticles (nps) may improve its anticancer activities and protect rapid degradation of the drug. mater...

This study investigates the degradation of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) in aqueous solution by the Fenton-like oxidation process. The effects of different parameters such as concentrations of ferric chloride and hydrogen peroxide, pH and reaction time on the SDBS removal and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) reduction were evaluated. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with Central Compo...

In this work, α-Fe2O3 (hematite) nanoparticles were synthesized using Arabic gum (AG) as a biotemplate source by the sol-gel method. This method has many advantages such as low-cost, nontoxicity, simple work-up, high efficiency, compounds uniformity, and high efficiency. The α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR...

Since groundwaters are a major source of drinking water, their pollution with organic contaminants such as methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) is a very significant issue. Hence, this research investigated the photocatalytic degradation of MTBE in an aqueous solution of TiO2-ZnO-CoO nanoparticle under UV irradiation. In order to optimize photocatalytic degradation, response surface methodology w...

An efficient photocatalyst consisting of CdS nanoparticle dispersed mesoporous silica-titania was prepared using amphiphilic triblock copolymer P123 as template and silica-titania sol–gel precursors. The CdS nanoparticle was incorporated into silica-titania mesoporous nanosturctures by post impregnation method. The synthesized catalyst has been characterized by FTIR, TEM, SEM, and EDAX analysis...

In this paper, structural, magnetic, optical, and photocatalytic properties of core-shell structure Fe3O4@GO nanoparticles have been compared with Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the degradation of methyl blue and methyl orange. For this purpose, GO nanosheets were wrapped around the APTMS-Fe3O4 nanoparticles and then charact...
