Atmospheric NO was detected in a long-path absorption experiment using a frequency-doubled dye laser, twice Raman shifted in H(2) to 227 nm. Apart from measurements employing a distant retroreflector, the potential of range-resolved lidar measurements was investigated.

Illumination systems with tunable spectrums have been receiving an increasing amount of attention due to their wide application and unique capability. This paper proposes a programmable light source in the visible range based on the combination of a prism and an echelle grating. A supercontinuum laser is utilized as the primary source, whose echellogram is projected to a digital mirror device f...

The passive mode locking of a cw Coumarin 6 dye laser in a colliding-pulse ring configuration is reported. Pulses of less than 500-fsec duration have been obtained from 518 to 554 nm, with the shortest pulses obtained being of 96-fsec duration.

Background and purpose: Generated dye wastewater by the textile industry is usually toxic, non-biodegradable and resistant in the environment. Eggshell is one of the inexpensive material and for the reason the vesicular structures can be used as a proper adsorbent for pollutants removal. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency of eggshell for removal of acid orange 2 dye from aqu...

introduction: textile industries produce large volume of colored dye effluents which are toxic and removal of dyes from wastewater is a significant environmental issue. advanced oxidation process (aops) is alternative method for the complete degradation many organic pollutants. zno and tio2 are important photocatalysts with high catalytic activity that have attracted much research attention. ma...

The photo-catalytic degradation of an azo dye - Amaranth (AM) - has been investigated in TiO(2)/UV aqueous suspensions. The results obtained from the experiments during H(2)O(2)/TiO(2) addition show that the highest decolorization rate is provided by the combination of (UV+TiO(2)+H(2)O(2)). The decolorization efficiencies were 17%, 26%, 38% and 64% in the runs UV, UV+H(2)O(2), UV+TiO(2) and (UV...

a bacterial strain (strain ps) was isolated from the textile effluents carrying serilene black bnfs® (c.i. disp. blk. mix) disperse dye. the isolate was able to decolorize the dye without the need for any exogenous carbon source. full sequencing of its 16s rrna indicated that bacillus sp strain ps is related to bacillus cereus groups.  silica- gel-thin layer chromatography of serilene black dye...

conclusions there was no significant statistical difference between mta and cem cement in sealing ability (p > 0.05). results the mean apical penetration of dye in the mta group was 0.94 mm while in the cem cement group this was 1.17 mm. eighty percent of the mta group and 75% of the cem cement group didn’t have any dye leakage. the p level was greater than 0.05 (0.592). materials and methods e...

Cryotherapy has similar cure rates to topical salicylate (a pharmacologic therapy) for nongenital common warts (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, based on systemic review of variable quality randomized trials). Duct tape may be equivalent to cryotherapy (SOR: B, based on a single randomized trial). CO2 laser, photodynamic therapy, pulsed dye laser (PDL), and Er:Yag laser therapies may also b...
