Titanium dioxide has been widely used for photo-catalytic and self-cleaning activities. In this study, TiO2 /SiO2 /Co nanocomposite was prepared by sol-gel method in the presence of Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), and Hydroxyl Propyl Cellulose (HPC) as additives, and characterized by IR spectra, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive Analytical X-Ray (EDAX), and X-Ray Diffraction (X...

nifedipine (nif), a 1,4-dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist, undergoes photo-degradation to dehydro-nifedipine (dnif) upon exposure to ultraviolet (uv) light and to the nitroso analogue of dehydro-nifedipine (ndnif) when exposed to sunlight or some kinds of artificial lights. nif photo-degradation products do not contribute to clinical activity, thus prevention of photo-degradation of ni...

abstract a title, in conveying the meaning of the entitled photo, can act from being a designator to an element which changes the meaning and its message is perceived in different levels of obtaining the photo’s final meaning. therefore, ignoring its role in interpreting the content of work is the same as eliminating a part of photo. various studies have been done centering titling issue, but t...

an investigation was conducted on hemin modified with axial ligand loaded onto magnetic carriers which created a kind of visible-light activated photocatalyst with good magnetic property. this photocatalyst exhibits excellent photo-degradation performance and can be readily reclaimed in the degradation of bis-phenol a (bpa) in aqueous solution under visible light. the catalysts were characteriz...

in the present study, theoretical chemical reactivates photo isomerization in cis-retinal as a natural photo switch in vision. dft hybrid functional, b3lyp and, post-hf method, were the theoretical methods applied utilizing g09 software. 6-31g+ (d,p) basis set employed for structural optimizations, and single point computations performed using b3lyp/6-31g+(d,p). the isomers cis molecule retinal...

Background & Aims of the Study: Phenolic compounds have been extensively used in industries for applications such as petrochemical, oil refineries, papers, plastics, steel, pharmaceuticals, textiles, coal conversion, and so on. Specified amounts of Phenolic compounds are lost in the process of their manufacturing and utilization and often cause environmental pollution problems....

In this work the performance of a wavelength division multiple access (WDMA) system with direct detection receiver is investigated. For this purpose, the probability of error in a WDMA network with OOK modulation considering crosstalk, ISI, photo detector noise and thermal noise is calculated and the effect of each on system performance is investigated. The system performance in presence of PIN...

Accurately recognizing aerial photographs is a useful technique in many domains like autonomous driving and environmental evaluation. In practice, both low-resolution high-resolution photos are captured asynchronistically for each region, as there hundreds of earth observation satellites orbitting the earth. Realizing such multi-resolution-based region recognition difficult task due to three ch...

tungsten trioxide nanoparticles with monoclinic structure and average particle size about 80 nm were prepared by the spray pyrolysis method. wo3 nanorods with hexagonal structure and average dimension about 15 × 100 nm were synthesized in gram quantities by modified hydrothermal method at lower temperature and shorter reaction time in comparison to the previous research. photo degradation of co...
