The technique of velocity modulation spectroscopy has recently been combined with cavity enhancement and frequency modulation methods into a technique called noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical heterodyne velocity modulation spectroscopy (NICE-OHVMS). We have implemented NICE-OHVMS with a cw-optical parametric oscillator (OPO) tunable from 3.2 to 3.9 lm, and used it to record spectra of the R(...

In recent years, displays and lighting require color temperature (CT) conversion function because observers have different preferences. This paper proposes effective methods to determine the optimal converting point of CT conversion for display and lighting application. For display application, the concepts of center of gravity and isotemperature line are applied to determine the optimal conver...

Context. Shock modelling predicts an electron density enhancement within the magnetic precursor of C-shocks. Previous observations of SiO, H13CO+, HN13C and H13CN toward the young L1448-mm outflow showed an over-excitation of the ion fluid that was attributed to an electron density enhancement in the precursor. Aims. We re-visit this interpretation and test if it still holds when we consider di...

background imaging plays a critical role not only in the detection, but also in the characterization of lung masses as benign or malignant. objectives to determine the diagnostic accuracy of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lung masses. patients and methods ninety-four masses were included in this prospective study. five dynamic seri...

The controlled in situ growth of ordered gold nanoparticles and nanowire arrays has been studied by optically tracking changes in the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectrum. A spectrometer and custom-programmed analysis software track changes in the LSPR spectrum. The peak position, peak height (i.e. extinction intensity) and peak width (e.g. radius of curvature) were tracked over time...

Adeno‑associated virus (AAV) is a common vector utilized in gene therapy. The NIH/3T3 cell line, which is a potential induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell type, was identified to be a less-permissive cell type to AAV due to its defective endosomal processing. Ultrasound‑targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) enhanced the gene transduction of AAV in permissive cells. However, there are no data c...
