Lemongrass leaf based activated carbon (LGLAC) was prepared using physico-chemical methods for methyl red (MR) dye removal from aqueous solutions. The surface chemistry of LGLAC before adsorption revealed the presence of different functional groups: O-H, C-H, C=O, CH3, C=C, N-O, C-O and C-N whic...

The aim of this paper is to update the most recent published evidence on road safety estimates of recent red light camera (RLC) and speed/red light camera studies (SRLC).A literature search was carried out on RLC studies in the period 2013–2017 which, after screening, identified 18 recent studi...

IL-12 is an important cytokine that connects the innate and adaptive immune systems. The complete gene structure of olive flounder IL-12 and its characteristics have not yet been formally reported. Here, we report the complete sequences of both subunits of olive flounder IL-12 (IL-12p35 and IL-1...

We review recent studies performed with pedestal optical waveguides based on germanate glasses doped with rare-earth ions with and without gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs). This technology represents a new alternative to study novel optical materials as the etching of the core material itself is no...

Mental workload is often measured using multidimensional measures which aim to identify a “redline” or region of “overload” when operator performance is jeopardized by overwhelming levels of cognitive demand. This chapter addresses two issues in this field: the role of motivation in mental w...

The efficiency of animal bone meal as a low cost adsorbent for removing a cationic dye Basic Red 12 from aqueous solution has been investigated. The effects of various experimental factors; adsorbent dose, contact time, dye concentration, pH and temperature were studied by using the batch techni...

Rare earth elements (REEs) are a group of metals essential to high technology industries. This high demand, combined with a high supply risk, has led to an understanding that REEs are critical to society. Despite the potential that hyperspectral imaging (HSI) data offers for a fast and non-invas...

PurposeTo describe a new family with benign yellow dot maculopathy.

Moderate consumption of red wine with meals may lead to a wide array of health benefits through the primary prevention of some important chronic diseases as cardiovascular disease, diabetes or through a lower risk of mortality. Heavy and binge drinkers are recommended to change to a Mediterranea...

A cheap and robust method for the detection and quantification of textile dyes is the use of biomimetic sensors with optical transduction, employing a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) as the recognition element. This paper presents the optimization of a MIP for the dye, basic red 9 (BR9) and ...

Low-firing La2Zr3(MoO4)9 (LZM) ceramics were prepared using the reaction-sintering (RS) route for the first time. The crystal structure, sintering characteristics, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of LZM samples were explored scientifically. A single phase, with trigonal struct...

In this study, the adsorption of Basic Red 9 (BR9) from aqueous solution onto sepiolite was investigated. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the effects of various parameters including contact time, initial dye concentration, temperature and pH on the adsorptive removal of BR9 by se...

A new kind of low-temperature fired Eu2Zr3(MoO4)9 ceramic was fabricated by conventional solid-state reaction method. The mixed powders was calcined at 600 ℃ and the samples were sintered at 500 ℃ –700 ℃ for 4 h. X-ray diffraction analysis and Rietveld refinement indicated that Eu2Zr3(MoO4)9...

By taking the IR spectra of several cyclotriphosphates of a resolved structure, has subsequently shown that it is possible to characterize the P3O9 ring by its IR spectrum and, in some favorable cases, to make them Predicted symmetry of the cycle by examining the number, profile and position of ...

A new Gd2Zr3(MoO4)9 (GZM) ceramic was prepared using the solid-state method at a low sintering temperature. A single phase, with trigonal structure in R-3c space group, was confirmed by the X-ray diffractometer. The crystal structure was further investigated through the Rietveld refinement resul...

Three dimesitylborane-containing fluorophores with various π-conjugated systems attached at the 9th position of carbazole, namely, 9-(4′-bromobiphenyl-4-yl)-9H-carbazole (Cz9Ph2B), 9-(4-(5-(dimesitylboryl)thiophen-2-yl)phenyl)-9H-carbazole (Cz9ThPhB), and 9-(4-(4-(dimesitylboryl)styryl)phenyl)...
