In this research, the efficiency of electrocoagulation treatment process using iron and aluminum electrodes to treat synthetic wastewater containing Reactive Red 24 (RR 24) was studied. The effects of parameters such as current density, pH, type of electrolyte, initial dye concentration, electrolyte concentration, temperature, and inter electrode distance on dye removal efficiency were investig...

A shelterwood method is described that provides stand conditions that enhance the growth of estabhshed red oak advance reproduction, thereby improving the chances of maintaining an oak component in the next stand. Stocking of a mature, fully stocked stand is reduced to 60%, 65%, and 70% of initial stand basal area where oak site index is 70, 80, and 90 ft, respectively. The basal area reduction...

Abstract In recent years, there has been an interest in the study of new methods for removal dyes from water due to its large-scale use different industries, example, paper printing, textile, leather, pharmaceutical, food or technological applications. It is estimated that more than 700 thousand tons about 10 000 types are produced annually. Most them synthetic origin and can generate adverse e...

Humic acid is used as an inexpensive starting material to prepare a strong adsorbent for the removal of Congo red from water.

In this work, the degradation of Basic Red 29 (BR29), an azo dye, was investigated using a high-frequency ultrasonic reactor (300 kHz). The influence of several parameters such as initial substrate concentration (5–200 mg L−1) , pH (3–10.1), ultrasonic power (20–80 W), and nature of the dissolved gas (Ar, air, and N2) on the degradation of BR29 was assessed. Additionally, the impact of natural ...

When a pathogen infects a number of different hosts, the process of determining the relative importance of each host species to the persistence of the pathogen is often complex. Removal of a host species is a potential but rarely possible way of discovering the importance of that species to the dynamics of the disease. This study presents the results of a 12-year programme aimed at controlling ...

Nanoscale zero-valent iron NZVI particles were synthesized by the aqueous phase borohydride reduction method, and the synthesized NZVI particles were used for the degradation of Basic Yellow 28 BY28 dye in aqueous solution. The influence of experimental variables such as reaction time, NZVI particle dosage and pH were studied on the decolorization of BY28. Mixing an aqueous solution of 100 mg L...

We present predictions for the abundance and nature of Extremely Red Objects (EROs) in the Λ cold dark matter model. EROs are red, massive galaxies observed at z ≥ 1 and their numbers and properties pose a challenge to hierarchical galaxy formation models. We compare the predictions from two published models, one of which invokes a “superwind” to regulate star formation in massive haloes and th...

the aim of this study was to compare invasive and non-invasive strains of shigella flexneri isolated from tehran by a 120 kda protein band by sds-page, electron microscopy of cell culture and congo red dye methods. methods: s. flexneri strains were isolated by standard bacterial methods from fecal specimens of children attending to the 3 children’s hospitals. phenotype analysis for screening vi...
