Nucleic acid extracted from environmental samples is an important analyte in instrumental analysis. With respect to the phenomenon which sodium tungstate promotes methane production anaerobic digestion, analyses of microbial community using RNA were conducted; however, we noticed that only concentration measured by absorbance measurement (NanoDrop) was remarkably high. Therefore, this study, DN...

N-Hydroxy-desferrioxamine B (5), a postulated metabolite of the microbial product desferrioxamine B (1), has been prepared by reduction of the intermediate oxime 6 with sodium cyanoborohydride. The oxime was obtained by selective oxidation of desferrioxamine B with hydrogen peroxide and a catalytic amount of sodium tungstate dihydrate. The iron complex derived from 5 enabled definite proof of t...

Visible-light-induced electron transfer from a tungstate to a titanate layer was demonstrated to be mediated by excited rhodamine B (RhB) intercalated by ion exchange between the two layers. The distance of only 1 nm between the layers provides a large contact area that enables the efficient mediation of electron transfer by RhB.

We present a study of the actuality of acousto-optics devices capable to withstand high-power laser emission. Some applications and specifics were considered, and the first assessment of parameters of the devices on KGd(WO4)2 single crystal was made. New acousto-optics modulator on that crystalline material for non-polarized high-power light radiation was developed, tested and shown almost 100%...

The gain of KGd0.447Lu0.078Yb0.475(WO4)2 waveguide optical amplifiers in the wavelength range from 980 nm to 1023 nm is reported. Values above 150 dB/cm were obtained with peak gain of 935 dB/cm at 981 nm. Keywordsdouble tungstate; optical amplifier; rare-earth ions; integrated optics

A nanodiamond with a mean particle size of 4 nm, which was prepared by the detonation of a nanodiamond, has been characterized and used as a collector for tungstate in water samples. An aqueous solution of nanodiamond was found to be stable over the pH range from 3 to 10. Coagulation of the nanodiamond could be brought about by adding an electrolyte solution. The adsorption characteristics of n...
