Can FD&C Blue no. 1 dye photoinactivate bacteriophages phi X174, T7, PRD1, and phi 6 under laboratory lighting conditions? At high levels of light, the dye (500 microM) photoinactivated only phi 6. Thus, this dye can be used at concentrations up to 500 microM with bacteriophages phi X174, T7, and PRD1 to test barrier material integrity.

The range of incidence angle, 0 < phi < phi(e), over which p-polarized light is reflected at interfaces between transparent and absorbing media with reflectance below that at normal incidence is determined. Contours of constant phi(e) in the complex plane of the relative dielectric constant epsilon are presented. A method for determining the real and imaginary parts of the complex refractive in...

Observations of high-redshift supernovae indicate that the Universe is accelerating. Here we present a model-independent method for estimating the form of the potential V(phi) of the scalar field driving this acceleration, and the associated equation of state w(phi). Our method is based on a versatile analytical form for the luminosity distance D(L), optimized to fit observed distances to dista...

Leach, R. M., D. W. Sheehan, V. P. Chacko, and J. T. Sylvester. Energy state, pH, and vasomotor tone during hypoxia in precontracted pulmonary and femoral arteries. Am. J. Physiol. Lung Cell. Mol. Physiol. 278: L294–L304, 2000.—To assess effects of smooth muscle energy state and intracellular pH (pHi) on pulmonary arterial tone during hypoxia, we measured ATP, phosphocreatine, Pi, and pHi by 31...

Intracellular pH (pHi) has been measured in Dictyostelium discoideum cells by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance. Ax2 cells, newly harvested from growth medium, maintained a pHi of 7.33 +/- 0.04 (17) at an extracellular pH ranging from 3.5 to 6.5. Below pH 3.5 the cells tend to lyse, whereas at pH values above 6.5 their pHi rises though they remain viable. pHi regulation in acid medium is not depen...
