introduction: engineering of food proteins with improved functional properties and higher resistance to heat is the main goal of food scientists. food technologists are always seeking for innovative, simple and effective methods to manipulate proteins, hence natural modification has had the most attention in last decades. one of the natural ways used for protein modifications ismaillard graftin...

a novel zinc oxide - agar nanocomposite was successfully synthesized using zinc chloride as a precursor. the nanocomposite was prepared using a domestic microwave oven. the prepared nanocomposites have been characterized by fourier transform infrared (ftir) spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and uv- visible spectroscopy. the crystalline properties...

The highest efficiency of heavy metal-free visible-to-UV photon upconversion is achieved by employing a ketocoumarin sensitizer with strong visible absorption, weak UV and high intersystem crossing efficiency.

We analyze archived Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observations of 536 Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 (DR5) quasars (QSOs) at 1.7 ≤ z ≤ 2.7 in order to characterize the relative UV and X-ray spectral properties of QSOs that do not have broad UV absorption lines (BALs). We constrain the fraction of X-ray weak, non-BAL QSOs and find that such objects are rare; for example, sources u...

Different samples of ZnS nanoparticals were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method at room temperature using zincsulphate as zinc source and sodium sulphide as sulphur source. Structural properties of synthesized ZnS nanoparticles were studied by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) while optical properties were examined by UV-Visible absorption spectroscopy. XRD pattern showed the as synth...

Two methods for simultaneous estimation of Paracetamol and Tolperisone Hydrochloride in combined tablet dosage form have been developed using Water as a solvent. The first UV spectrophotometric method was a determination using the simultaneous equation method at 242.5 nm and 260 nm. The second UV spectrophotometric method is the Q – analysis (absorption ratio) method, which involves the formati...

Bismuth and zinc co-doped Y2O3 samples are synthesized by sol-gel method using ammonium hydroxide as a precipitating agent. Structural analysis is done by XRD, SEMEDAX and the optical properties are analysed by FTIR, UV-Vis absorption studies and photoluminescence (PL) studies. UV-Vis absorption studies show absorption only around 340 nm whereas PL shows peaks around 401 nm, 680 nm and 1020 nm ...

BACKGROUND Dialysate-based, on-line measurements of Kt/V and protein catabolic rate (PCR) in dialysis patients have been considered more accurate compared with measurements on the blood side during dialysis. The primary aim of this study was to compare total removed urea (TRU) and PCR, normalized to body weight (nPCRw), obtained by three dialysate-based methods: (i) on-line ultraviolet (UV) abs...

The development of a real-time monitoring tool for the estimation of water quality is essential for efficient management of river pollution in urban areas. The Gap River in Korea is a typical urban river, which is affected by the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and various anthropogenic activities. In this study, fluorescence excitation-emission matrices (EEM) with parallel fact...

The unified picture of X-ray/UV absorbers offers an unique opportunity to probe the nuclear environment of AGNs. To test the unified absorber scenario and to understand the physical properties of the absorber we obtained the first UV spectrum of PG1114+445 using HST FOS. PG1114+445 is known to have an X-ray ionized (“warm”) absorber, so that UV absorption is predicted. The HST spectrum clearly ...
