background; dyes can cause many problems in environment. therefore, removal of these contaminants before discharging wastewater to environment can reduce the environmental hazards. adsorption is one of the usual processes for decolorizing from wastewater. nanotubes are new adsorbents that can adsorb different compounds. this work aimed to investigate acid violet 17 dye removal by adsorption usi...

Ancestors of vertebrates used ultraviolet vision. Some descendants preserved ultraviolet vision, whereas some others replaced it with violet vision, and then, some of avian lineages reinvented ultraviolet vision. Ultraviolet (absorption at ∼360 nm) and violet (410-440 nm) sensitivities of visual pigments are known to be affected by around 20 amino acid substitutions. The present quantum mechani...

In summarizing the results obtained for these 6 groups of animals, the following conclusions may be drawn: Normal rabbits living in total darkness and exposed to ultra-violet radiation at regular intervals showed a more rapid rate of increase in weight than animals living under the same condition, but after an initial period of rapid increase, the irradiated animals maintained a lower body weig...

A psychrophilic strain of bacteria identified as Chromobacterium lividum was established as the causative agent of an outbreak of violet discoloration in refrigerated, pasteurized retail milk and cream. The organism was rod-shaped, gram-negative, and produced viscid colonies with abundant violet pigment on Tryptone glucose yeast extract agar. Growth was abundant at 4 C but none occurred at 37 C...

Dental cementum is a specialized calcified structure covering the root of a tooth. This study aims to investigate cementum using various stains which can be exceedingly useful in investigation, observation and diagnosis. 4µm sections of 25 extracted normal teeth, 25 cases of various cemental pathologies and 25 ground sections were stained using cresyl violet, H/E, toluidine blue and periodic ac...

In this research, a response surface methodology (RSM) was used to investigate the effects of independent parameters (pH, contact time, temperature, adsorbent dosage, and initial concentration of pollutant), their simultaneous interactions, and quadratic effects on crystal violet adsorption onto two starch based materials in the form of batch experiments. The characterizing results indicated th...

In this study, the development of an indirect spectrophotometric method for determination folic acid in pure and pharmaceutical preparations is described. The based on oxidation pyrocatechol with iron (III) acidic medium, followed by reaction (FA) to produce a stable, water-soluble orange compound maximum absorption at 350 nm versus blank reagent. complex charge transfer was studied under optim...

Copper (I) oxide microparticles with the morphology of cubic and hollow sphere were synthesized with the assistance of surfactant as the shape controller. Both particles were then subjected to study the catalytic activity and observed the results of shape effects of catalysts on rate of catalytic reaction. The decolorizing reaction of crystal violet and sodium hydroxide was chosen and measured ...
