The new metal-metal bonded diruthenium(II,III) compounds [Ru2(O2CCH3)4(mu-L)]infinity (L = N(CN)2-, 1; C(CN)3-, 2) and [[Ru2(O2CCH3)2(mhp)2]2(mu-DM-Dicyd)] (3) (mhp = 2-oxy-6-methylpyridinate, DM-Dicyd = 1,4-dicyanamido-2,5-dimethylbenzene dianion) have been synthesized and fully characterized. Compounds 1 and 2 were synthesized by the reaction of [Ru2(O2CCH3)4(NCCH3)2](BF4) with NaN(CN)2 and K...

In this study, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) from a pharmaceutical wastewater (PhW) was reduced by several techniques such as electro-Fenton (EF), photo electro-Fenton (PEF) and activated sludge (AS) processes and the obtained data were compared with each other. The effects of several parameters such as pH, current density, H2O2/Fe2+ molar ratio, volume ratio of ...

introduction: colloidal materials and suspended solids cause turbidity in water. to remove turbidity, clarification method is used that includes processes of coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. due to the long duration of coagulation process, coagulant aids are applied. despite the favorable efficiency of synthetic polyelectrolytes as a coagulant aid, due to their harmful effects on h...

Pigs (n = 18) were selected to represent three different muscle conditions (six pigs per condition): normal: dark, firm, and dry; and halothane carrier. A 45-cm-long longissimus section was excised from each side of the carcass at 30 min postmortem and cut into six sections. Right side sections were assigned to the intermediate temperature incubation (23 degrees C), and left side sections were ...

gerbera one of 10 important cut flowers in the world and iran. one of the most problems is low-life after harvest and neck bending. producers want to increase longevity of these flowers with using chemical solutions. with the aim of achieving the best chemical treatments to increase flower vase life gerbera goodtimming, nano silver (5 mg l-1), humic acid (50 mg l-1), gibberellic acid (2.5 mg l-...

The present study was conducted over 4 months during 1 September to 30 December 2005 to observe the effects of stocking density on growth and survival of Thai Sharpunti, Barbodes gonionotus in 3 earthen ponds of size of 2.8 decimal each. The stocking densities of 80, 100 and 120 fish/decimal were treated as T1, T2 and T3, respectively. All the treatments were subjected to the same feeding regim...

PURPOSE Based on contact lens-induced stromal acidification of the cornea, it has been suggested that the corneal epithelial and endothelial cells also become acidotic during contact lens wear. This alleged acidification may have a role in altered cell appearance and metabolism during contact lens wear. This study investigated the effects of anoxia, carbon dioxide retention, and contact lens ga...
