Rabbit skin treated for a few minutes with ultra-violet light and then inoculated at once with vaccine virus is less susceptible to the action of the virus than is untreated skin. If 24, 48, or 72 hours elapse between the time of irradiation and inoculation, the treated skin appears to be more susceptible than is untreated skin. Skin repeatedly exposed to ultra-violet light is less susceptible ...

Three different Transient Grating setups are presented, with pulsed and continuous wave probe at different wavelengths, ranging from infrared to the extreme ultra violet region. Both heterodyne and homodyne detections are considered. Each scheme introduces variations with respect to the previous one, allowing moving from classical table top laser experiments towards a new four wave mixing schem...

The first application of the violet diode laser for laser induced fluorescence (LIF) detection in capillary electrophoresis is reported. Operating at 405 nm with an output power of 5 mW, this laser offers many advantages over conventional red diode lasers operating at 635 nm. We demonstrate the suitability of the violet diode laser for LIF detection by detecting amino acids labeled with naphtha...

In the preparation of the material and the interpretation of the results, I have had the cooperation of Dr. Mary B. Stark of the Flower Hospital Staff and the assistance of Miss A. K. Marshall of the Bell Telephone Laboratories. The photographs which accompany this paper are sufficiently described in the titles and need not be specifically dealt with here. 1 Lucas, "An Introduction to Ultra-Vio...

Bioaccumulation of synthetic dyes viz. Acid Blue 93, Direct Red 28 and Basic Violet 3 by the environmental yeast isolate, Candida tropicalis growing in aqueous extract of sugarcane bagasse medium was studied in a batch system as a function of initial pH and dye concentrations. The optimum pH value for bioaccumulation was found to be 3.0 for Acid Blue 93 and Direct Red 28 and 5.0 for Basic Viole...
