Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) microspectroscopy images contain information from the whole infrared spectrum used for microspectroscopic analyses. In combination with the FTIR image, visible light images are used to depict the area from which the FTIR spectral image was sampled. These two images are traditionally acquired as separate files. This paper proposes a histogram shifting-based data...

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) difference spectroscopy in combination with deuterium exchange experiments has been used to study the photo-oxidation of P740, the primary electron donor in photosystem I from Acaryochloris marina. Comparison of (P740(+)-P740) and (P700(+)-P700) FTIR difference spectra show that P700 and P740 share many structural similarities. However, there are s...

BACKGROUND A previous study demonstrated that Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy can distinguish thyroid cancer from benign thyroid lesions. The aim of this study was to explore the use of FTIR for identifying metastatic lymph nodes of papillary thyroid cancer in vitro, and distinguishing between metastatic and non-metastatic tissue. METHODS Some 184 freshly removed cervical lymph...

In this paper new semi-empirical formulas are developed to evaluate the variation of both real and imaginary parts of soil complex permittivity with depth inside the earth's surface. Computed values using these models show good agreement with published measured values for soils of the same textures and same frequency band. Use of these models may serve to handle more accurate results especially...

background and objectives: the significant rise in food borne infections is mainly caused by campylobacter spp., salmonella serovars and verotoxigenic escherichia coli . as the emerging food borne pathogens cause disease, more studies have been conducted for rapid detection of these pathogens. the combination of immunomagnetic separation and polymerase chain reaction (ims-pcr) is the most accur...
