Recharging mitochondrial batteries in old eyes. Near infra-red increases ATP.
Progressive accumulation of age related mitochondrial DNA mutations reduce ATP production and increase reactive oxygen species output, leading to oxidative stress, inflammation and degradation. The pace of this is linked to metabolic demand. The retina has the greatest metabolic demand and mitochondrial density in the body and displays progressive age related inflammation and marked cell loss. ...
متن کاملNear Infra-red Spectroscopy of V838 Monocerotis
Near IR, multi epoch, spectroscopic and photometric observations of the enigmatic, eruptive variable V838 Mon in the JHK bands are reported. One of unusual features of the spectra is the detection of several strong neutral TiI lines in emission in the K band. From the strength of these lines, the mass of the ejected envelope is estimated to be in the range 10−7 to 10−5 M . The spectra also show...
متن کاملRecharging Probably Keeps Batteries Alive
The kinetic battery model is a popular model of the dynamic behavior of a conventional battery, useful to predict or optimize the time until battery depletion. The model however lacks certain obvious aspects of batteries in-the-wild, especially with respect to (i) the effects of random influences and (ii) the behavior when charging up to capacity bounds. This paper considers the kinetic battery...
متن کاملMinimizing Strong Telluric Absorption in Near Infra-red Stellar Spectra
We have obtained high resolution spectra (R ∼ 25000) of an A star over varying airmass to determine the effectiveness of telluric removal in the limit of high signal to noise. The near infra-red line He I at 2.058μm, which is a sensitive indicator of physical conditions in massive stars, supergiants, H II regions and YSOs, resides among pressure broadened telluric absorption from CO2 and water ...
متن کاملNear infra-red interactance for nutritional assessment of dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Malnutrition is a common problem in dialysis patients and may affect up to one-third of patients. Near-infrared interactance (NIR) is a novel approach to estimate body composition and per cent total body fat. METHODS We used near-infrared interactance (Futrex 5000) to estimate the body composition including body fat percentage, as well as subjective global assessment (SGA), anthrop...
