A Wide Range Tritium Monitor

Isolation of high-quality RNA from a wide range of woody plants

Isolation of high-quality RNA is one of the most crucial methods in molecular biology. RNA extraction from woody plants has been problematic due to the presence of rigid and woody tissues, large amounts of polysaccharides, polyphenols and other secondary metabolites. Here we present a suitable protocol for RNA isolation from a wide range of woody plants that includes eight gymnosperms and four ...

Thymoquinone: an emerging natural drug with a wide range of medical applications

Nigella sativa has attracted healers in ancient civilizations and researchers in recent times. Traditionally, it has been used in different forms to treat many diseases including asthma, hypertension, diabetes, inflammation, cough, bronchitis, headache, eczema, fever, dizziness and influenza. Experimentally, it has been demonstrated that N. sativa extracts and the main constituent of their vola...

Wide Range Dielectric Spectroscopy

Dielectric spectroscopy is one of the most commonly used techniques for the investigation of the dynamic response of glass-forming materials. The tremendous slowdown of the particle motions when approaching the glass transition and especially the fast processes in glass-forming materials, which have come into the focus of scientific interest recently, make the investigation in a wide frequency ...

Wide Dynamic Range

Wide-dynamic-range sensors

Orly Yadid-Pecht, MEMBER SPIE Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Electrical and Computer Engineering Department P.O. Box 653 Beer-Sheva 84105 Israel E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The work done to provide image sensors (CCDs and CMOS) with a wide dynamic range is reviewed. The different classes of solutions, which consist of logarithmic sensors, ‘‘clipped’’ sensors, multimode sensors, frequ...
