... from naturally infected faba bean plants in Fayoum Governorate. The virus was identified as Faba bean mottle Virus (BBMV) according to symptomatology on Faba bean plants, host range, diagnostic hosts, virus stability and ELISA detection. The host range of the isolate was restricted to Fabaceae. BBMV lost infectivity after 10 min at 95 on dilution of 10-...

...Then apply a dye on silk fabric after binding it with vinegar. The dye’s colour concentration and color fastness after 15 washes. This research is based on quantitative research. This is experimental research. In this study, access the color concentration on different stages and fastness after 15 washes. In a beaker 1 tablespoon were added and boiled in 100 ml distilled water at 100oC for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the solution was filtered. Then 15 ml...

...seaweed extract and dyed fabric were also investigated against human pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans and were compared with commercial antibacterial and antifungal drugs. It was found at the optimized dyeing condition has 1 percent formic acid as fixing agent with 120 min dyeing period. At this condition, the dye molecule shows 70 percent exhaustion and 59 percent fixation along with acceptable fastness and antimi...

...efficient membranes. The fabrication techniques portrayed are the elemental blending and multilayer deposition wherein there is highly emphasized information on making polyaniline-based cation exchange nanoporous membranes that use polyvinyl chloride. Some nano fillers such as carbon nanotubes, graphene oxide, and metal-organic frameworks are investigated for their viability in desalination as alternatives to traditional surface membranes. These polymeric batt...
