Published: December 1977

Growth of Pseudomonas fragi had a significant (P < .05) effect on the color of aqueous beef extract stored at 1 ± 1 C. As numbers of P. fragi increased from log 5 to 7.9/ml during 10 days of storage at 1 ± 1 C, the pH increased from 5.5 to 6.0. At the end of 10 days there was a 76% loss of oxymyoglobin in samples inoculated with P. fragi . There was a 45% loss of oxymyoglobin in sterile-control samples. A possible mechanism for conversion of oxymyoglobin to metmyoglobin is suggested.

GI-2092-Optometry, Departamento de Física Aplicada (Área de Optometría), Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, Campus Vida s/n, 15701 Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

: The aim of the present study was to establish a cut-off value of the Lipid Layer Pattern (LLP) between participants with different subtypes of Dry Eye Disease (DED) including Deficient Dry Eye (ADDE), Evaporative Dry Eye (EDE), and Mixed Dry Eye (MDE). : 240 participants diagnosed with DED according to the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society in the Dry Eye Workshop II guidelines were included in the study. Tear Meniscus Height (TMH) using the Tearscope illumination and Meibomian Gland Loss Area (MGLA) using the Keratograph 5M were assessed to categorize the participants into an ADDE group, EDE group, or MDE group.

Dye-sensitization is a promising strategy to improve the light absorption and photoactivity abilities of wide-bandgap semiconductors, like TiO. For effective water-splitting photoanodes with no sacrificial agents, the electrochemical potential of the dye must exceed the thermodynamic threshold needed for the oxygen evolution reaction. This study investigates two promising organic cyanoacrylic dyes, designed to meet that criterion by means of theoretical calculations.

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Technical and Human Sciences, Sapientia Hungarian University of Transylvania, Calea Sighișoarei 2, 540485 Târgu-Mureş, Romania.

A comparative adsorption study was carried out for methylene blue (MB) and its 3,7-bis(N,N-(2-hydroxyethyl)amino)-phenothiazinium dye analog (MBI). Batch experiments employed aqueous solutions and commercial filter paper. Out of seven kinetic models tested by means of four quality statistical indicators, the pseudo-second-order, the double-exponential, and the bi-linear Weber-Morris equations were best fits.

Pollution caused by antibiotics, bacteria, and organic dyes presents global public health challenges, posing serious risks to human health. Consequently, new, efficient, fast, and simple photocatalytic systems are urgently required. To this end, 2,7-di(pyridin-4-yl)benzo[lmn][3,8]phenanthroline-1,3,6,8(2H,7H)-tetraone (NDI)-an electron acceptor-is introduced as a connecting column into a porphyrin-based metal-organic layer (2DTcpp) with excellent photocatalytic activity; this modification yields a three-dimensional pillar-layered metal-organic framework (MOF, 3DNDITcpp) with superior photocatalytic reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capability.

Electronic address:

The conventional method of dyeing cellulose diacetate (CDA) fabric with disperse dyes consumes significant amounts of fresh water and dispersants, contributing to environmental pollution and health hazards. This study explored the use of liquid paraffin as an alternative to aqueous mediums for dyeing CDA fabric with Disperse Blue 56 dyes, eliminating the need for dispersants. An L orthogonal array was used to optimize dyeing conditions based on the color strength values.
