By introducing the second organic N-heterocyclic ligands 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy)/1,10-phenanthroline (phen), two mono-/bi-nuclear examples of Cu(II)-diphosphonate coordination polymers based on 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic acid (H5L=CH3C(OH)(PO3H2)2), [Cu(H4L)2(2,2'-bipy)]·H2O 1 and [Cu(H3L)(phen)]2·(HOCH2CH2OH)0.52, have been solvothermally obtained and characterized by powder X-ray dif...

Title of Document: STUDIES OF SPECTRAL MODIFICATION IN INTENSE LASER PULSE-PLASMA INTERACTIONS Wenxi Zhu, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed By: Professor Thomas M. Antonsen Jr., Physics Laser pulses propagating through plasma undergo spectral broadening through local energy exchange with driven plasma waves. During propagation, a high power laser pulse drives large amplitude plasma waves, dep...

Several N-chloroarylsulphonamides of the configuration, 4-X-C6H4SO2(K)NCl·xH2O (where X = H, CH3, C2H5, F, Cl or Br) and i-X, j-YC6H3SO2(K)NCl·xH2O (where i-X, j-Y = 2,3-(CH3)2; 2,4(CH3)2; 2,5-(CH3)2; 2-CH3,4-Cl; 2-CH3,5-Cl; 3-CH3,4-Cl; 2,4-Cl2 or 3,4-Cl2) are prepared, characterised, and their infrared spectra in the solid state and NMR spectra in solution are measured and correlated. Comparis...

A family of Schiff bases was synthesized by the reactions of o-aminobenzoic acid and Knovenegal condensate of β-ketoesters in 1:1 ratio. The newly synthesized Schiff bases were characterized by Elemental analyses and spectral (FT-IR, UV–Vis and H-NMR) studies and the structures have been proposed tentatively. These compounds were subjected to study their biocidal efficacy against S. epidermidis...

introduction in remote sensing studies, especially those in which multi-spectral image data are used, (i.e., landsat-7 enhanced thematic mapper), various statistical methods are often applied for image enhancement and feature extraction (reddy, 2008). principal component analysis is a multivariate statistical technique which is frequently used in multidimensional data analysis. this method atte...

Pyrolysis of underivatized homogeneous oligoribonucleotides in the source of a mass spectrometer leads to production of simple mass spectra which resemble the spectra of the bases themselves. It is proposed that pyrolysis occurs by hydrogen transfer to the base moiety followed by elimination of the neutral base. Ionization by electron impact gives rise to the observed spectra. Mixed oligoribonu...

A previous case study found a relationship between high spectral width measured by the CUTLASS Finland HF radar and elevated electron temperatures observed by the EISCAT and ESR incoherent scatter radars in the postmidnight sector of magnetic local time. This paper expands that work by briefly re-examining that interval and looking in depth at two further case studies. In all three cases a regi...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of spectral CT imaging in the diagnosis and classification of liver cirrhosis during the arterial phase (AP) and portal venous phase (PVP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-eight patients with liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh class A/B/C: n = 10/14/14), and 43 patients with healthy livers, participated in this study. The researchers used abdominal spectral CT imaging...

Praseodymium doped HMO glasses are fabricated with the following compositions using conventional melt quenching technique. The compositions of the glass systems are 12 ZnO + 33 B2O3 + (50-x) PbO + (x+10) CaO + 4 Al2O3 + 1 Pr6O11 where (x = 0,10,20,30 and 40 mol %.). Certain physical properties of these systems have been evaluated and reported. Spectral data for all these systems were recorded f...
