Abstract Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are well-known biomedical and biotechnological applications because of their interesting properties. They easily cross the cell membranes interact with intracellular materials. This study was designed to investigate interaction calf spleen DNA AuNPs at a molar ratio 2:1 in an aqueous solution different ionic strengths (10, 50, 100%). AuNPs/DNA complex were ch...

In this research, the adsorption capacity of diatomaceous earth in removal crystal violet dye (CV) aqueous solution was evaluated. The experimental methodology began with determination texture properties by adsorption-desorption isotherms N2 a 77 K, identification functional groups Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FTIR), morphology scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and, pH isoelec...

1,6-Dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (DQ716) and 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-pyridinecarboxylic acid (DQ2) were evaluated for possible application to iron (Fe) and aluminium (Al) chelation therapy. Metal/ligand solution chemistry, electrochemistry, cytotoxicity, octanol/water partitioning (D(o/w)), and chelation efficiency, were studied. The Fe(iii)/DQ716, Fe(iii)/DQ2, Al(iii)/DQ716, and A...

background; dyes can cause many problems in environment. therefore, removal of these contaminants before discharging wastewater to environment can reduce the environmental hazards. adsorption is one of the usual processes for decolorizing from wastewater. nanotubes are new adsorbents that can adsorb different compounds. this work aimed to investigate acid violet 17 dye removal by adsorption usi...

PURPOSE To determine the efficacy of intraoperative antibiotic use in irrigating solutions on aqueous humor contamination during phacoemulsification surgery and to evaluate the corresponding risk of postoperative endophthalmitis. METHODS 644 eyes of 640 patients who underwent phacoemulsification surgery with foldable intraocular lens (IOL) implantation were included in this study. Preoperativ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to develop a reproducible method of establishing the concentration of yeast cells per milliliter of solution. METHODS Three methods of determining the number of yeast cells in solution were compared: Neubauer's counting chamber, spectrophotometry, and nephelometry. RESULTS All three methods were comparable and reproducible. The following formulas we...

the energy minima of systems made of an alanine molecule, a lithium cation and a various number of watermolecules have been determined with the help of quantum mechanical computations at the b3lyp densityfunctional theory level of computation and the standard 6-311++g (d,p) basis set. several structures, close inenergy are found and the presence of one or two water molecules around the cation m...

background and purpose: highly consumption of antibiotics and their entrance into the environment has increased concerns all over the world. these compounds enter to the environment through an incomplete metabolism and a considerable amount of them cannot be removed using usual waste filtration systems. therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using ultraviolet radia...

We report a wet-chemical method to make films by spontaneous assembly of passivated Ag nanoparticles at the organic-aqueous liquid interface. The interfacial films exhibit a blue opalescence and are characterized with transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis spectrophotometry. Measurements indicate that nanoparticles in the interfacial film can form superlattices and in some cases nanostruct...
