چکیده

By coupling the bromate-sulfite-ferrocyanide oscillating chemical reaction with the complexation of calcium ion by EDTA, we construct a system that generates periodic pulses of free Ca(2+) with an amplitude of 2 orders of magnitude and a period of ca. 20 min. These pulses may be observed either with a calcium ion-selective electrode or with Arsenazo(III) as an indicator. We describe the systematic design procedure and the properties of this first abiotic calcium-based chemical oscillator.

Finite-Difference Time-Domain Simulation of Light Propagation in 2D Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Photonic Structures

Ultra-short pulse is a promising technology for achieving ultra-high data rate transmission which is required to follow the increased demand of data transport over an optical communication system. Therefore, the propagation of such type of pulses and the effects that it may suffer during its transmission through an optical waveguide has received a great deal of attention in the recent years. We...

Comparison of the effect of quasitrapezoidal and rectangular pulses on bio- electrical activity, calcium spike properties and afterhyperpolarization potentials of Fl cells of Helix aspersa using intracellular recording

  While the effect of changes of stimulus waveform (quasitrapezoidal and rectangular current pulses) on nerve activation is clear, but there is no evidence on the effect of quasitrapezoidal pulses on ionic currents of cellular membrane. In the present study, the effect of depolarizing quasi-trapezoidal current pulses, in comparison with that of depolarizing rectangular current pulses, on firing...

A two-photon fluorescent probe for near-membrane calcium ions in live cells and tissues.

A two-photon fluorescent probe (ACaL) is reported that can be excited by 780 nm fs pulses, shows high photostability and negligible toxicity, and can visualize near-membrane Ca2+ in live cells and deep inside live tissues by two-photon microscopy.

Oscillatory concentration pulses of some divalent metal ions induced by a redox oscillator.

Oscillations in the concentration of divalent ions Cd(2+), Ca(2+), Zn(2+), Co(2+) and Ni(2+) are induced by adding these species to the BrO(3)(-)-SO(3)(2-) chemical oscillator in a flow reactor. Producing periodic pulses in the concentrations of these non-redox ions extends our earlier approach to generating forced periodic behavior. Instead of driving pH-dependent equilibrium reactions of the ...
