zno and tio2 nanoparticles wereimpregnated with merbromin dye and used as modified photocatalysts for degradation of phenol. dye-modified zno and tio2 showed significantly higher photocatalytic activity than neat zno and tio2 under visible light illumination. moreover, the prepared dye-modified zno showed superior photocatalytic efficiency in degradation of phenol compared to the dye-modified t...

BACKGROUND Very few data are available from the literature on whether nonatopic subjects affected by persistent rhinitis may show the appearance of objective symptoms of rhinitis after the ingestion of food additives such as tartrazine (E102), erythrosine (E127), monosodium benzoate (E211), p-hydroxybenzoate (E218), sodium metabisulphite (E223), and monosodium glutamate (E620). It is still uncl...

The modifying effects of the products of the equimolar addition Of DL-alanine and DL-alanyl-DL-alanine to fullerene C60 on the structure and permeability of the lipid bilayer of phosphatidylcholine liposomes has been studied using the luminescence probe technique. It is shown that these water soluble amino acid and dipeptide derivatives of fullerene (C60-AD) are quenchers of pyrene fluorescence...
