the nanocomposites of poly (acryl amide-co-acrylic acid) with different contents of naazeolite were prepared using ammonium persulfate as an initiator and n, n′-methylenebisacrylamide as the crosslinker. the morphology was characterized by sem and the structure ofnanocomposite materials was studied with xrd and ft-ir that showed the interaction betweenporous materials and poly (aam-co-aac). the...

background: opioid abuse is common in iran. in recent years, methadone maintenance therapy (mmt) has gained popularity in this country. this study aimed at evaluation concurrent abuse of alcohol in patients under mmt. methods: a predesigned questionnaire was developed and completed after obtaining verbal consent among 49 subjects under mmt in kian rehabilitation centre during january 2014. resu...

in order to reduce the costs associated with poly-β-hydroxybutyrate production, growth and poly-β-hydroxybutyrate production of ralstonia eutropha were studied in batch culture on different carbon sources. experiments were designed and conducted to not only lower the cost of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate production by using inexpensive substrates, but also to increase poly-β-hydroxybutyrate production...

corrosion makes huge economic and ecologic damage all over the world. biologic corrosion of sewer pipes is considered as a serious limitation in economic perspectives. to prevent biologic corrosive damage, lining techniques can be applied by materials and aggregate resistant to attack bacterially in sewer pipes. the role of bacteria is that they convert sulfur compounds into sulfuric acid which...

interactions of cationic tetrakis (n,n´,n´´,n´´´-tetramethyltetra-3,4-pyridinoporphyrazinatocobalt(ii) (co(tmtppa)) with synthetic polynucleotides, poly(a-t), poly(g-c) and calf thymus dna have been characterized in 5 mm phosphate buffer, ph 7.2, by optical absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. the appearance of hypochromicity effect and the red shift in uv-vis spectrum of porphyrazine was ...

poly vinyl alcohol/chitosan nanofibrous mat were prepared by electrospinning method with suitable pore sizes as potential matrices for soft tissue engineering. the designed scaffolds by electrospinning method evaluated by differentanalyses such morphological, mechanical, and cellular analysis.microscopic results showed diameters of poly vinyl alcohol/chitosan nanofibers were approximately 150 n...
