Identification of water content in nanocavities

چکیده
: A tapered dielectric waveguide that scans, at constant height, a sample containing a viral capsid is studied by combining a lattice gas model to simulate water meniscus formation and a finite difference time domain algorithm for light propagation through the media involved. Our results show different contrasts related to different water contents and different meniscus orientations. We propose this method as a way to study water content and evaporation process in nanocavities being either biological, like viral capsides, or nonbiological, like photonic crystals.

متن کاملStudy of in vitro drought stress on the response of some genotypes of Damask rose relying on water relations
Damask rose is one of the oldest and most valuable rose varieties that to some extent, tolerates water deficiency. However, the selection and identification of genotypes that are more tolerant to drought stress will be effective in development of cultivation of the plant. In this case, an experiment was performed under in vitro conditions using polyethylene glycol at five levels (0, 25, 50, 75 ...
