apotransferrin (apo tf)  in 0.1 m n-(2hydroxyethyl)piperazine-n2-ethanesulfanic acid at 25 ˚c  and ph 7.4 has been titrated with acidic solution of tb3+. the binding of tb3+ at  the two specific metal-binding sites of transferrin was followed from the changes in the difference uv spectra at 245 nm. the molar absorptivity per binding site for tb3+-tf is 22,500 ± 1000 m-1cm-1. to determine the tb...

in this study, both the presence and concentration of some unsaturated compounds in hexane extracts of different parts of anthemis talyschensis showing absorption at wavelength 280-450 nm were surveyed, with the view of possibly using extracts of this plant in new formulations of sunscreen creams. the hexane extracts of flower, leaf and stem of a. talyschensis , collected from northwest iran, w...

in this work, zno/sio2 nanoparticles were prepared using sol-gel method, and platinum particles were loaded on zno/sio2 nanoparticles by photoreductive method. samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir). the xrd patterns showed that the zinc oxide samples have a wurtzite structure (hexagonal phase...

resolution of binary mixtures of theophylline (theo), montelukast (mkst) and loratadine (lora) with minimum sample pretreatment and without analyte separation has been successfully achieved by multivariate spectrophotometric calibration, together with partial least-squares (pls-1), principal component regression (pcr) and hybrid linear analysis (hla). data of analysis were obtained from uv–vis ...

the color removal of three reactive dyes in an aquatic system without priortreatment was studied. selected commercial dyes were treated with nac102 anduv as oxidation agents. effects of nature of oxidant, temperature, ph ofsolutions, concentration of c107—, contact time of c102— and uv irradiation wereinvestigated. optimal c102— concentration for color removal in the absence of uvirradiation wa...

Advances in our understanding of the etiology of cutaneous melanoma over the past decade have implicated constitutive heredity alterations in a small percentage of cases (5-8%). Using the power of competitive genomic hybridization, melanomas located in intermittently sun exposed areas have been associated with BRAF abnormalities whereas those located in chronic sun-exposed areas have not shown ...

UVC light is a widely used sterilization technology. However, UV lamps have several limitations, including low activity at refrigeration temperatures, a long warm-up time, and risk of mercury exposure. UV-type lamps only emit light at 254 nm, so as an alternative, UV light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) which can produce the desired wavelengths have been developed. In this study, we validated the in...
