Butanol is an aliphatic saturated alcohol having the molecular formula of C(4)H(9)OH. Butanol can be used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis and as a solvent for a wide variety of chemical and textile industry applications. Moreover, butanol has been considered as a potential fuel or fuel additive. Biological production of butanol (with acetone and ethanol) was one of the largest industri...

background: in recent years, natural products, especially natural antioxidants, play an important role in various fields. in fact, lippia citriodora is one of the medicinal plants which is cultivated in iran and it may be has potential antioxidant activity. objective: the chemical composition of lippia citriodora essential oil (lceo) has been determined. the total phenolic content and antioxida...

patients and methods medical records of patients were analyzed retrospectively. results of the six patients, 83.3% (n = 5) were male and 16.7% (n = 1) were female, with a mean age of 2.1 ± 0.49 years. the most common clinical signs were dyspnea (83.3%), fever (66.6%), and vomiting (66.6%). owing to supportive treatments and the combined steroid treatment, respiratory distress diminished and the...

World has entered into a new era where sustainability is the main factor to encounter the challenges of depletion of our reserves and environmental upsets. Wastewater is not only one of the main causes of irreversible damages to the environmental balances but also contributing to the depletion of fresh water reserves at this planet, generating threats to the next generation. A lot of industrial...

The increasing use of synthetic dyes is alarming and their discharge as textile waste may cause substantial ecological damage. Biological decolorization of dye using microorganisms is an environmentally friendly and costcompetitive alternative to chemical methods. This study involves the application of laccase obtained from Pleurotus ostreatus, a common fungus, in decolorization and degradation...

In recent years, the textile industry must go towards developing of new technologies to reduce the energy and water consumption. The use of microwave in textile wet processing is one way for this purpose. The advantages of microwaves, which it is use much less liquid, they can exhaust or save dyes and leave no waste of liquid dye compared to conventional methods. Microwave dyeing has other adva...

Present work is an effort to reveal the junction properties of gold (Au) / Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods based Schottky diode by using the frequency dependent electrical properties. The most important electrical parameters such as conductance (G), resistance (R), capacitance (C) and impedance (Z) were studied as function of frequency across the series of AC voltages. Moreover, current density-volta...
