The addition mechanism of the OH-initiated oxidation allyl methyl sulfide (AMS) under atmospheric conditions was studied theoretically using both density functional theory (DFT) and SVECV-f12 composite method.

Dye pollution in wastewater is a severe environmental problem because treating water containing dyes using conventional physical, chemical, and biological treatments is difficult. A conventional process is used to adsorb dyes and filter wastewater. Magnetic filtration is an emerging technology. In this study, magnetic Pycnoporus sanguineus-loaded alginate composite beads were employed to remove...

PURPLE (RED-and-BLUE) is the most frequently occurring derived (binary) basic color term (BCT), but there is never a named composite BCT meaning RED-or-BLUE. GREEN-or-BLUE is the most frequently named composite color category, but there is never a BCT for the corresponding derived (binary) category CYAN (BLUE-and-GREEN). Why? Palmer notes that the naming of some but not all of the possible comp...

ZnFe2O4 microspheres were prepared by solvothermal method, and a novel ZnFe2O4@TiO2 core-shell composite photocatalyst was ultrasonic (denoted as ZT-x) mechanical stirring ZTM-1.2). The morphology, structure, magnetic, optoelectronic properties of the catalyst investigated comprehensively, degradation performance explored through photocatalytic Rhodamine B (RhB) under UV light. concentration Rh...

Four selected azo dyes (acid orange 6, acid orange 7, methyl orange and methyl red) were completely decolourised in the presence of anaerobic granular sludge, while only methyl red was degraded in aerobic conditions using a conventional activated sludge. Additional experiments with culture broth devoid of cells showed that anaerobic decolourisation of azo dyes was performed by extracellular red...

Abstract Expressions arising from the Bruggeman approach for the homogenization of dielectric–magnetic composite materials, without ignoring the sizes of the spherical particles, are presented. These expressions exhibit the proper limit behavior. The incorporation of size dependence is directly responsible for the emergence of dielectric–magnetic coupling in the estimated relative permittivity ...

objective: some evidence suggests that chronic uptake of estragole and methyl-eugenol, found in the essential oil of artemisia dracunculus (tarragon), may be associated with an increased risk of hepato-carcinogenicity. the present study was conducted to investigate the immumodulatory and anti-inflammatory potentials of estragole and methyl-eugenol free extract of tarragon. materials and methods...

Polypyrrole (PPy)-bile salt composite was used for sensing ethanol vapor. PPy was synthesized by interface polymerization for subsequent fabrication of thin film of its composite with bile salt, by in-situ co-dispersion method and then exposed to ethanol vapour. Sensing was visualized through changes in morphological, structural and optical characterizations. The ethanol exposed film showed lar...

Our ability to see in bright light depends critically on the rapid rate at which cone photoreceptors detect and adapt to changes in illumination. This is achieved, in part, by their rapid response termination. In this study, we investigate the hypothesis that this rapid termination of the response in red cones is dependent on interactions between the 9-methyl group of retinal and red cone opsin...
