A series of inorganic yellow pigments with general formula Y4–xAxMoO9+δ (A = Ta, Tb), where x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 for Ta and x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 for Tb, were synthesized by a conventional ceramic method at 1400 °C for 6 h in air. The samples were characterized by XRD, EDS, XPS...

The Yellow Cardinal (Gubernatrix cristata) is distributed in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil, inhabiting environments of xerophytic woodland and savannah; it is considered globally Endangered since 1994. Populations are under pressure from loss and modification of habitat and from capturing for th...

IntroductionAvailable scientific evidence to recommend or to advise against booster doses of yellow fever vaccine (YFV) is inconclusive. A study to estimate the seropositivity rate and geometric mean titres (GMT) of adults with varied times of vaccination was aimed to provide elements to revise ...

The photooxidative decolorization of C.I. Basic Yellow 2 (BY2), was investigated using UV radiation in the presence of peroxydisulfate (S2O82−) in a rectangular photoreactor at experimental condition. S2O82− and UV-light showed negligible effect when they were used independently. Removal efficie...

The photodegradation of three commercially available dyestuffs (C.I. Reactive Black 5, C.I. RB5, C.I. Direct Yellow 12, C.I. DY12, and C.I. Direct Red 28, C.I. DR28) by UV, UV/H2O2 and UV/H2O2/Fe(II) processes was investigated in a laboratory-scale batch photoreactor equipped with an 16 W immers...

Dye wastewaters are considered as major pollutants to surface waters. The dye C.I. Direct Black 38 is one of the most important azo dyes used in dying industry and contaminated waters containing this harmful material are produced in large volumes. The purpose of this study is investigation remov...

A novel dinuclear copper(II) complex 2 bearing double μ2-oxo bridges has been obtained by in situ CuII ion catalysis and complexation with the H2O2 oxidant of C.I. Disperse Yellow 79 (1), where a new dianionic ligand is in situ formed having an additional phenolic group and it coordinates with ...

A rapid method to screen and quantify multi-class analytic targets in red wine has been developed by direct analysis in real time (DART) coupled with triple quadruple tandem mass spectrometry (QqQ-MS). A modified QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) procedure was used for i...

ZnO nanoplates were synthesized by microwave-hydrothermal methods. Pd doped ZnO photocatalysts were prepared by microwave irradiation, UV irradiation, and borohydride reduction methods. The Pd/ZnO photocatalysts were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray dif...

Tyrian purple (C.I. Natural Violet 1) and its precursors have enjoyed much attention as various species of gastropods of the Muricidae family. However, few investigations have concerned the dye's precursors, namely Plicopurpura columellaris and Plicopurpura patula. Derivatization and NMR re...

The objective of this study was to isolate a potent dye-degrading microbe that can be used to reduce the pollution caused by industrial dyes. Reactive red 198 is an extensively used textile dye and is a major environmental pollutant in water bodies. In this study, a bacterial strain was isolated...

The nature of the interaction between human hemoglobin and C.I. acid red 27 was investigated systematically by ultraviolet–vis absorbance, circular dichroism, fluorescence, synchronous fluorescence, and three-dimensional fluorescence spectra techniques at pH 7.40. The quenching mechanism, bindi...

Acquired resistance to imatinib is frequently associated with poor clinical outcome of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patient. To date, evidence indicates that protein glycosylation and its upstream regulators might be implicated in tumorigenesis and chemoresistance occurrence. In current study ...

Previous studies have confirmed the efficacy of acupuncture treatment for tinnitus. However, no relevant studies of the exact mechanism of acupuncture efficacy on tinnitus have been published. Enrolled participants with left-sided tinnitus received acupuncture treatment at TE3 and TE5. The acupu...

Due to its genetic similarity with commercial rice, red rice is one the most damaging weeds in direct seeding rice systems. Using an integrated approach to estimate the economic, environmental, and food security impact of red rice infestation in the U.S. as an empirical case study, we find that ...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small ∼22 nucleotide regulatory RNAs that regulate the stability and translation of cognate messenger RNAs (mRNAs). MicroRNAs participate in the regulation of adipogenesis and identification of the full repertoire of MicroRNAs expressed in adipose tissue is likely to impr...

In this study, the potential functions of miR-224 in regulating adipogenic differentiation were explored in bovine preadipocytes. Comparative transcriptome analysis between castrated male cattle with increased intramuscular fat (IMF) and intact male cattle revealed that miR-224 and LPL were abno...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a destructive cancer with poor prognosis. Both novel therapeutic targets and approaches are needed to improve the overall survival of PDAC patients. MicroRNA-212 (miR-212) has been reported as a tumor suppressor in multiple cancers, but its definitive r...

miR-132 and miR-212 are structurally-related microRNAs that are expressed from the same non-coding transcript. Accumulating evidence has shown that the dysregulation of these microRNAs contributes to aberrant neuronal plasticity and gene expression in the mammalian brain. Consistent with this, a...

In this study, the physical and chemical characteristics and direct aqueous mineral carbonation of red gypsum have been investigated. The characterization studies showed that red gypsum is a very potential feedstock for mineral carbonation. It is mainly consisted of CaO, Fe2O3 and SO3 along with...
