Approximately 10-20% of the total dyes in the world is consumed in the textile industry. The present study aimed to investigate the photocatalytic activity of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) immobilized on synthetic activated carbon in the removal of the acid blue 113 dye from aqueous solutions. This experimental study was conducted in a photo-reactor with the useful volume of one liter. The eff...

Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program data include many of the measurements needed by carbon modelers to predict carbon dynamics in terrestrial ecosystems. How much difference, if any, would using ARM measurements rather than any of several synthetic climate generators typically used by carbon modelers make in estimates of respiration and productivity predicted by carbon models? We de...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been widely involved in military reconnaissance and detection of moving targets. SAR active decoy can generate deceptive jamming signal it severely affect the content focused image. range Doppler algorithm (RDA) is considered as one most common algorithms utilized image formation processor (IFP) sensors. In this paper, inverse RDA (IRDA) deception technique it...

Construction of two vicinal all-carbon quaternary carbon centres is of great importance due to the common presence of such units in natural and unnatural molecules with attractive functions. However, it remains a significant challenge. Here, we have developed a palladium-catalysed general coupling for the efficient connection of two tertiary carbon atoms: Specifically, propargylic carbonate has...

Aimed at developing a highly active and stable non-precious metal electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), a novel FexNy/NC nanocomposite—that is composed of highly dispersed iron nitride nanoparticles supported on nitrogen-doped carbon (NC)—was prepared by pyrolyzing carbon black with an iron-containing precursor in an NH3 atmosphere. The influence of the various synthetic paramete...

The rapid synthesis of bicyclo[m.n.1]alkanone cores possessing quaternary carbon centers adjacent to a bridged ketone represents a significant synthetic challenge. This type of architectural feature is embedded in various complex biologically active compounds such as hyperforin and garsubellin A. Herein, we report a highly diastereoselective one-pot Diels-Alder reaction/Au(I)-catalyzed carbocyc...

background: stevia rebaudiana bertoni, an important anti-diabetic medicinal plant, becomes an inevitable alternative to sugar. due to the propagation difficulties, tissue culture is the best alternative for rapid mass propagation of stevia plants. objective: the present study was conducted to optimize a protocol for rapid micropropagation of stevia rebaudiana by shoot tip explants and to invest...
