rsTagRFP is the first monomeric red fluorescent protein (FP) with reversibly photoswitchable absorbance spectra. The switching is realized by irradiation of rsTagRFP with blue (440 nm) and yellow (567 nm) light, turning the protein fluorescence ON and OFF, respectively. It is perhaps the most useful probe in this color class that has yet been reported. Because of the photoswitchable absorbance,...

The effects of temperature on real time changes in optical density (DeltaOD) of GAFCHROMIC EBT film were investigated. The spectral peak of maximum change in absorbance (lambdamax) was shown to downshift linearly when the temperature of the film was increased from 22 to 38 degrees C. The DeltaOD values were also shown to decrease linearly with temperature, and this decrease could not be attribu...

We study the two dual notions of prime avoidance and absorbance. generalize classical lemma to radical ideals. A number new criteria are provided for an abstract ring be compactly packed (C.P., every set primes satisfies avoidance) or properly zipped (P.Z., absorbance). Special consideration is given interaction with chain conditions Noetherian-like properties. It shown that a both C.P. P.Z. if...

Direct orthogonal signal correction(DOSC) and Savitzky-Golay filters (SGF) were applied as preprocessing methods on the original and first derivative absorbance data. Principle component regression (PCR), partial least squares (PLS) and iterative target transformation factor analysis (ITTFA), were used in spectrophotometric simultaneous determination of heavy divalent metal ions, l...

metal nanoshells consists of a dielectric core surrounded by a thin noble metal shell, possess unique optical properties that render nanoshells attractive for use in different technologies. this paper reports a facile method for growth of small gold nanoparticles on the functionalized surface of larger silica nanoparticles. mono-dispersed silica particles and gold nanoparticles were prepared by...

chemometric techniques in spectral analysis have gained importance in the quality control of  the drugs mixtures and pharmaceutical formulations containing two or more drugs with overlapping spectra. since theophylline and etophylline have common chromophore, they cannot be analyzed simultaneously using conventional uv methods. simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of etophylline and th...

The character of the electronic transitions in the ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV-vis-NIR) spectra of platinum-bis(alkynyl) bridged, bis-triarylamine mixed-valence systems trans-[Pt(C≡CC6H4NAr2)2 (PR3)2](n+) (R = ethyl, Ar = C6H4CH3-4 (1) or C6H4OCH3-4 (2); R = Ph, Ar = C6H4CH3-4 (3) or C6H4OCH3-4 (4), n = 0, 1, 2) has been determined from a combination of spectroscopic measurement and d...

AIM To understand the interference of carbohydrates absorbance in nucleic acids signals during diagnosis of malignancy using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. METHODS We used formalin fixed paraffin embedded colonic tissues to obtain infrared (IR) spectra in the mid IR region using a bruker II IR microscope with a facility for varying the measurement area by varying the aperture...

Conformational alterations of bovine hemoglobin (Hb) upon sequential addition of glyoxal over a range of 0-90% v/v were investigated. At 20% v/v glyoxal, molten globule (MG) state of Hb was observed by altered tryptophan fluorescence, high ANS binding, existence of intact heme, native-like secondary structure as depicted by far-UV circular dichroism (CD) and ATR-FTIR spectra as well as loss in ...

Recent theoretical studies on linear absorption spectra of dye-semiconductor systems [perylene attached to nanostructured TiO2, L. Wang et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 109, 9589 (2005)] are extended here in different respects. Since the systems show ultrafast photoinduced heterogeneous electron transfer the time-dependent formulation used to compute the absorbance is also applied to calculate the temp...
