Several evidence from the Nordic countries suggest that the eight perceived sensory dimensions, which are serene, nature, rich in species, space, prospect, refuge, social and culture, can be used as a reliable tool for urban green space assessment and planning, but whether or not this is the cas...

Four aluminosilicate sorbents (montmorillonite, bentonite, raw perlite, and expanded perlite) were employed for retention of the cationic dye C.I. Basic Blue 41. Interactions between the clay and the dyestuff were investigated at several temperatures and clay:dye ratios. The mechanism behind the...

Batch sorption experiments were carried out for the removal of C.I. Basic Green 4 (Malachite Green), a cationic dye from its aqueous solution using cyclodextrin-based material (CD/CMC material) as adsorbent. The operating variables studied were adsorbent mass, particle size, agitation speed, sol...

Aqueous dispersions of nano-scale C.I. Pigment Blue 15:3 (PB15:3) were prepared through ball milling and ultrasonication in presence of dispersing agents. A novel encapsulation of pigment through mini-emulsion approached by using UV-curable resins has been developed. Critical factors included th...

The present study focuses on the use of N-methylformanilide as swelling agent in the dyeing process of meta-aramid fibers. Fiber dyeability with a cationic dye (C.I. Basic Blue 41) has been examined at three different N-methylformanilide concentrations: in particular, adsorption isotherms, dyein...

The distinctive and tuneable physical, chemical and configurational properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), has prompted their combination with metal oxides to contrive carbon composites showing entrancing adsorption property with incredible potential in water treatment. MWCNT/Alumina (RMAC) nodu...

Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) was performed using titanium dioxide and molybdenum disulfide (TiO2-MoS2) composites. TiO2-MoS2 composites were synthesized using the sol-gel method. By weight, the ratio of MoS2 to TiO2 was varied from 3:5 to 9:5. The composites showed better ph...

ObjectiveDyspnea is a common Emergency Department (ED) symptom requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment. The bedside lung ultrasonography in emergency (BLUE) protocol is defined as a bedside diagnostic tool in intensive care units. The aim of this study was to investigate the test performance ch...

The aim of this study is to investigate the beneficial effect of utilizing MgO nanoparticles on the performance of ferrate(VI) oxidation process to remove blue-203 dye from wastewater. It was also made an attempt to assess the effects of pH, temperature, and MgO nanoparticle dosage on this oxida...

A novel polymer-encapsulated C.I. Pigment blue 15:3 dispersion has been developed through emulsion polymerization approach by a polymerizable dispersant. The encapsulation process involves three steps: predispersing C.I. Pigment blue 15:3 using allyloxy nonyl-phenoxypropanolpolyoxyethyleneethera...

Three-dimensional (3D) N, F-codoped flower-like TiO2 microspheres were successfully synthesized by a hydrothermal method combined with calcination process. The as-prepared samples were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM and EDS. The adsorption abilities of prepared samples were investigated for the re...

In-plane micro-supercapacitors (MSCs), as promising power candidates for micro-devices, typically exhibit high power densities, large charge/discharge rates, and long cycling lifetimes. The high areal/volumetric capacitances, high energy/power densities, high rate capability, as well as flexibil...

Emissions and meteorological conditions are two important factors on aerosol accumulation or dilution. Identifying the contributions of both emission reduction (ER) and meteorological conditions (MC) on aerosol pollution abatement is a hot topic recently. An objective assessment of ER measures&#...

Culture filtrates from the white rot fungus Trametes trogii were used for the degradation of two azo dyes: Xylidine and Methyl Orange. These culture filtrates showed a great potential for decolorizing even high concentrations of both azo dyes, without the addition of redox mediators, possibly du...

For the first time, nanomagnetic-supported sulfonic acid is used for conversion of several types of aromatic amine, containing electron-withdrawing groups as well as electron-donating groups to the corresponding azo dyes in excellent yield. The synthesis of these compounds is described by the se...

Composites based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and two types of zeolite, hydrophilic zeolite A and hydrophobic zeolite ZSM-5, were synthesized. The obtained hydrogel composites that combine well the strong interaction between PMAA and cationic species, the accessibility of active sites in the...

Flavonoids are amongst the most commonly used natural yellow colourants in paintings, as lakes, and in historical textiles as mordant dyes. In this paper, evidence from isotopically labelled substrates is used to propose negative ion electrospray collision induced decomposition mechanisms of fla...

The use of low-cost and eco-friendly adsorbents has been investigated as an ideal alternative to the current expensive methods of removing dyes from wastewater. Orange peel was collected from the local fields of orange trees and converted into a low-cost adsorbent. The present study deals with t...

The venom proteome of Laticauda colubrina (Bali, Indonesia) was elucidated by nano-ESI-LCMS/MS of the venom reverse-phase HPLC fractions. Altogether 31 distinct forms of proteins were identified and clustered into three toxin families: three-finger toxin (3FTX, 66.12% of total venom proteins), p...

Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) is a devastating sugar beet pathogen. Resistance is limited and resistance-breaking isolates are becoming problematic. Effective disease control strategies will come from a better understanding of disease and resistance. BNYVV-induced differential sugar be...
