in this work, efficiency and performance of hazelnut shells (hs) adsorbent was examined for the removal and recovery of direct red 12b (dr12b) from wastewater. the absorbance of dr12b was measured spectrophotometrically at λmax=523 nm before and after adsorption of dr12b. the maximum removal was 99.8% for 30 mg l –1 ofdr12b concentration on 0.3 gr hs adsorbent. acidic ph was favourable for the ...

Removal of synthetic dyes is one of the main challenges before releasing the wastes discharged by textile industries. Biodegradation of azo dyes by alkaliphilic bacterial consortium is one of the environmental-friendly methods used for the removal of dyes from textile effluents. Hence, this study presents isolation of a bacterial consortium from soil samples of saline environment and its use fo...

The magnetic adsorbent nanoparticle was modified using cationic surface active agent. Zinc ferrite nanoparticle and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide were used as an adsorbent and a surface active agent, respectively. Dye removal ability of the surface modified nanoparticle as an adsorbent was investigated. Direct Green 6 (DG6), Direct Red 31 (DR31) and Direct Red 23 (DR23) were used. The charact...

Watermelon is widely propagated through grafting, after which seedlings are subjected to healing under controlled conditions including artificial lighting. Light wavelengths, such as blue, red, and far-red, impose considerable effects on seedlings, possibly carry the mature plants. The aim of present study examine whether different light wavelengths during grafted watermelon variable field cult...

Tomato, which is mainly established with grafted seedlings, one of the most popular vegetables worldwide a high nutritional value,. Market demand for seedlings in specific seasons; thus, commercial nurseries face problem limited space availability during healing stage. Light quality an essential parameter that can adjust seedling development towards desirable traits and lead to time saving prod...

PURPOSE To investigate the associations of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of three genes (IL-12B, IL-12Rβ1 and IL-12Rβ2) in Behcet's disease (BD) and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) syndrome in a Chinese Han population. METHODS A total of 806 BD cases, 820 VKH patients, and 1600 healthy controls were involved in this study. The first investigation included 400 BD patients, 400 VKH cases, a...

12b-Hydroxy-5,6,8,12b-tetrahydroisoindolo[1,2-a]isoquinolin-8-one (4), 5,6,8,12b-tetrahydroisoindolo[1,2-a]isoquinoline (5) and 12b-hydroxy-5,6,8,12btetrahydroisoindolo[1,2-a]isoquinoline (6) were obtained by reduction of 4,5,8,12b-tetrahydroisoindolo[1,2-a]isoquinolin-8-one (3) with LiAlH4/THF/N2. The precursor and products were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and the X-ray crystal structure...

We report combined optical and X-ray observations of nova M31N 2007-12b. Optical spectroscopy obtained 5 days after the 2007 December outburst shows evidence of very high ejection velocities (FWHM Hα ≃ 4500 km s). In addition, Swift X-ray data show that M31N 2007-12b is associated with a Super-Soft Source (SSS) which appeared between 21 and 35 days post-outburst and turned off between then and ...
