Abstract The materials of six Karen textiles from the British Museum’s collection were investigated with main aim studying production changes over course nineteenth century and how these related to local colonial trade networks. span chronologically 1830s early 1900s according their attribution dates, include traditional garments such as tunics skirts, in addition representing a broad colour pa...

Lysinibacillus sphaericus D3 cell-immobilized beads in natural gel sodium alginate decolorized the xylidine orange dye 1-(dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid sodium salt in the laboratory. Optimal conditions were selected for decolorization and the products formed were evaluated for toxicity by disc diffusion assay against common marine bacteria which revealed the non-toxic nature of ...

The title compound, C(16)H(12)Cl(2)O, was synthesized from 1-naphthol and 1,2-dichloro-benzene with anhydrous aluminium chloride as a cataylst. In the mol-ecule, the two ring systems are approximately perpendicular to one other with a dihedral angle of 82.06 (4)°. There are two CH-type hydrogen bonds.

The self-assembly of organic 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) into hierarchical architectures, such as microfibers, microrods, and sheaflike structures, in solution was successfully achieved by reprecipitation method with the assistance of thermoresponsive diblock copolymer poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-b-poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PDMA-b-PNIPAM). It was found that the morphology modification...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(28)H(20)N(2)O(2)·0.5C(2)H(5)OH, contains two independent mol-ecules of 1,1'-[o-phenyl-enebis(nitrilo-methyl-idyne)]di-2-naphthol, denoted A and B, and one ethanol solvent mol-ecule. The hydr-oxy groups are involved in intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds influencing the mol-ecular conformations, which are slightly different in mol-ecules A and B, whe...

We investigate the OH stretch vibrational frequency shifts of a prototype photoacid, 2-naphthol (2N), when dissolved in solvents of low polarity. We combine femtosecond mid-infrared spectroscopy and a theoretical model based on the Pullin-van der Zwan-Hynes perturbative approach to explore vibrational solvatochromic effects in the ground S(0) and the first electronically excited (1)L(b) states....

A thermostable phenol sulfotransferase, SULT1A1, has been implicated in numerous detoxification and bioactivation pathways; however, little is known regarding its endogenous function or its putative role in mediating risk for human environmental disease. A simple endpoint colorimetric assay is described that can be used for rapid phenotyping of SULT1A1 activity in human populations. The assay u...
