The acid dyes are one of the most widely used commercial dyes used in the textile industries. This work investigates the ability of magnetite nanoparticles functionalized with imidazolium based ionic liquid as an efficient sorbent for removal of the Acid Blue 113 from wastewater. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy FT-IR, X-ray diffraction XRD and Transmission Electron Microscopy TEM were u...

Grasses are traditionally considered as wind pollinated, however, field observations confirmed frequent insect visits to grass flowers, suggesting insect pollination. Fruit and seed predators inflict heavy losses to cereals and millets during their growth, maturation and storage. The actual factors guiding insects and predators to grass flowers, fruits and seeds are not clear. Here, we report a...

Alpha-hydroxylic acids are widely used in the treatment and control of skin disorders. Azelaic acid is a naturally occuring Alpha-hydroxy acid that can be formed endogenously from long-chain dicardoxylic acids, metabolism of oleic acid or omega oxidation of mono carboxylic acids. It shows bacteriostatic and bactericidal activities against aerobic and anaerobic micro-organisms present on acne-be...

a series of new 2-(phenylthio) benzoylaryl hydrazones were synthesized by acid-catalyzed condensation of hydrazide 3 with corresponding aldehydes. the chemical structures of the compounds were elucidated by ft-ir, 1h-nmr and mass spectra. all newly synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimycobacterial activities against mycobacterium tuberculosis h37rv using the microplate alamar blu...

During the L-malate production through CO2-fixing process by Schizophylium commune, a blue coloration was seldom seen. When the coloration occurred within 6days after inoculation, the malate production was markedly reduced, and at the same time the sugar consumption was somewhate lowered. The more earlier the colora tion occurred, the more marked was the decrease of L-malate pro duciton. The ad...

Microgreens are an excellent source of health-maintaining compounds, and the accumulation of these compounds in plant tissues may be stimulated by exogenous stimuli. While light quality effects on green basil microgreens are known, the present paper aims at improving the quality of acyanic (green) and cyanic (red) basil microgreens with different ratios of LED blue and red illumination. Growth,...

The results 1 from measurements made with the glass electrode and spectrophotometer show that brilliant cresyl blue penetrates as free base into the vacuoles of living cells of Nitella. The present paper describes similar experiments with azure B, methylene blue, and crystal violet. Since the methods for the condition of cells, extraction of the sap, penetration experiments, extraction of free ...

Trichromatic colorimetry was applied for the evaluation of the colour changes of the metallochromic indicators, viz., hematoxylin, gallocyanine, Gallamine Blue, Solochrome Prune AS, Celestine Blue, Eriochrome Black T, Xylenol Orange and Catechol Violet, in the complexometric titration of zirconium( IV) with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to measure the quality of colour change at the eq...
