Introduction A near-infrared spectrum (12000 – 4000 cm-1) is composed of combination and overtone bands that are related to absorption frequencies in the mid-infrared region. These combination and overtone bands correspond to the frequencies of vibrations between the bonds of the atoms making up the material. Because each different material is a unique combination of atoms, no two compounds pro...

The Fourier Series (FS) and the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) should be thought of as playing similar roles for periodic signals in either continuous time (FS) or discrete time (DFT). Both analyze signals into amplitude, phases, and frequencies of complex exponentials; both synthesize signals by linearly combining complex exponentials with appropriate amplitude, phase, and frequency. Finally...

this paper presents a systematic study of the surface chemistry, porous texture and adsorptive characteristics of prepared new activated carbon using persian mesquite grain. several techniques and methodologies such as, proximate analysis, n2 adsorption–desorption isotherms, scanning electron microscope (sem), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray photoe...

copper vanadate nanostructures were prepared via ex-situ precipitation approach in presence of schiff-base ligand (n,n׳ -buthylenebis(acetylacetone iminato)dianion = acacbn) as a new capping agent. the effect of different cu sources and ph on the size, morphology and size distribution of copper vanadate nanostructures was investigated. the as-prepared products were characterized using x-ray dif...

In this project, a three-component functionalization of carboxylated shortend multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT-COOH) by Histidine derivative via amidation method have been investigated. The functionalized MWNTs were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Raman spectroscopy, elemental analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 

in this work, ag-cu nanoparticles (with different percentages of copper, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% cu) were synthesized by wet chemical method. copper(ii) sulfate and silver nitrate were taken as metal precursors, ascorbic acid as reducing agent and anhydride maleic (ma) as a modifier. the prepared nanoparticles were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction (xrd) technique and scanning electron mic...

A method is presented for computing an orthonormal set of eigenvectors for the discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The technique is based on a detailed analysis of the eigenstructure of a special matrix which commutes with the DFT. It is also shown how fractional powers of the DFT can be efficiently computed, and possible applications to multiplexing and transform coding are suggested. T

The quaternion Fourier transform (QFT), which is a nontrivial generalization of the real and complex Fourier transform (FT) using quaternion algebra has been of interest to researchers for some years (see e.g. [3, 5]). It was found that many FT properties still hold but others have to be modified. Based on the (right-sided) QFT, one can extend the classical wavelet transform (WT) to quaternion ...

Platinum is a metallic element, which may react with our cellular component through its involvement in cancer chemotherapy medications. Cisplatin is one of the most useful antineoplastic drugs against human ovarian carcinoma, which has the central element of platinum in its structure. The nature of chemical interaction between platinum and cellular macromolecules is yet to be understood. We exa...
