Stable room-temperature phosphorescence of guest aromatic molecules was achieved by the effective suppression of oxygen quenching. The organic capsule (first wall) suppressed static oxygen quenching by enclosing a guest molecule, and dynamic quenching via the capsule opening-closing process was well suppressed and manipulated by the intercalation of this capsule into the restrictive space betwe...

In this paper, we study the finite time quenching phenomenon of a nonlinear diffusion equation with nonlinear source and singular boundary flux. It is shown that the solution must quench in a finite time and the time derivative blows up at a quenching point. The quenching set and rate are determined.

Abstract The increasing demands on part complexity and tailored properties in form of local strength ductility cannot be achieved with conventionally manufactured hot stamped body components. To meet the requirements safety-relevant parts, partial stamping is increasingly used automotive industry. One approach to achieve parts based controlled cooling blank prior forming quenching. related furn...

We performed transient absorption (TA) measurements on CP29 minor light-harvesting complexes that were reconstituted in vitro with either violaxanthin (Vio) or zeaxanthin (Zea) and demonstrate that the Zea-bound CP29 complexes exhibit charge-transfer (CT) quenching that has been correlated with the energy-dependent quenching (qE) in higher plants. Simulations of the difference TA kinetics revea...

The photosystem II (PSII) subunit S (PsbS) plays a key role in nonphotochemical quenching, a photoprotective mechanism for dissipation of excess excitation energy in plants. The precise function of PsbS in nonphotochemical quenching is unknown. By reconstituting PsbS together with the major light-harvesting complex of PSII (LHC-II) and the xanthophyll zeaxanthin (Zea) into proteoliposomes, we h...

Lichens, a symbiotic relationship between a fungus (mycobiont) and a photosynthetic green algae or cyanobacteria (photobiont), belong to an elite group of survivalist organisms termed resurrection species. When lichens are desiccated, they are photosynthetically inactive, but upon rehydration they can perform photosynthesis within seconds. Desiccation is correlated with both a loss of variable ...

Experimentally, quenching from warmer water leads to faster freezing than quenching from colder waterthe Mpemba effect. Using molecular dynamics, we find that quenching water from 370 K and above leads to a 100 K density of states (DOS) closer to that of ice than quenching from 300 K and below. Especially we find that the biggest difference is for 80−160 cm−1 which upon quenching from colder w...

Fluorescence quenching is used to gain information on the exposure of tryptophan residues to lipid in membrane-bound proteins and peptides. A protocol is developed to calculate this exposure, based on a comparison of quenching efficiency and of a fluorescence lifetime (or quantum yield) measured for a protein and for a model tryptophan-containing compound. Various methods of analysis of depth-d...
