We report a comparative study of the bulk electronic structure two Al-based complex metallic alloys (CMAs), $\ensuremath{\beta}\ensuremath{-}{\mathrm{Al}}_{3}{\mathrm{Mg}}_{2}$ and ${\mathrm{Al}}_{13}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{4}$ using hard x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (HAXPES) interpreted on basis density functional theory (DFT) calculations. An experimental confirmation role Hume-Rothery mechanism f...

The triplet and singlet states of the ketenylidene ~CCO! radical are investigated using fast radical beam photofragment translational spectroscopy, in which CCO is generated by laser photodetachment of CCO and subsequently photodissociated, and anion photoelectron spectroscopy. In the photodissociation experiment, two bands in which the upper state of CCO predissociates are studied. Photodissoc...

The Lauricella functions, which are generalizations of the Gauss hypergeometric function 2F1, arise naturally in many areas of mathematics and statistics. So far as we are aware, there is little or nothing in the literature on how to calculate numerical approximations for these functions outside those cases in which a simple one-dimensional integral representation or a one-dimensional series re...

We present a quantitative analysis of dynamic diffuse optical measurements to obtain oxygen saturation of hemoglobin in volume oscillating compartments. We used a phasor representation of oscillatory hemodynamics at the heart rate and respiration frequency to separate the oscillations of tissue concentrations of oxyhemoglobin (O) and deoxyhemoglobin (D) into components due to blood volume (subs...

Nearly all atoms contributing to the local structure of Bransted acid sites in zeolites exhibit isotopes accessible for multinuclear solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) investigations. Therefore, in the last 15 years, NMR spectroscopy has found numerous applications for the determination of the types of hydroxyl proton in zeolites, of their concentration, accessibility, and mobility, a...

UNLABELLED This study evaluated the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of 4-borono-2-(18)F-fluoro-l-phenylalanine ((18)F-FBPA) after intracarotid injection and with blood-brain barrier disruption (BBB-D) in F98 glioma-bearing F344 rats. The pharmacokinetics of l-p-boronophenylalanine (BPA) and (18)F-FBPA following different administration routes were compared to demonstrate the optimal delive...
