We report experimental evidence of correlation-induced spectral changes in biological tissues. The overall spectral shift in our transmission measurements is to the red and the mean wavelength of the original spectrum is up 10% larger. These results indicate that the spectral changes due to elastic scattering are significant and likely to hinder all spectroscopic measurements based on the inela...

The interaction between isatin-β-thiosemicarbazone (IBT) and calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) was investigated in physiological buffer (pH 7.4) using Neutral Red (NR) dye as a spectral probe by UV–Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as viscosity measurements. The IBT is stabilized by intercalation in the DNA ( K [IBT –DNA] =1.03×105 M−1), and displaces the NR dye from the NR–DNA comple...

introduction monitoring of salt lake dry areas is an important parameter for sustainable development and environmental protection. monitoring of dried areas of the salt lake requires extraction of thematic maps at different times. powerful tool for remote sensing of the earth different ecosystems, such as playa environments, is to produce valuable and useful data. the major causes of widespread...

Magnesium is an abundant element in the environment. Magnesium ion sensing by fluorescence spectral method is of importance due to the need for the detection of the metal in the human body and the environment. In this paper, we report the Mg2+ ion sensing behavior of the phenylhydrazone derivative of a difluorenylpiperidin-4-one. The preparation method of this compound is simple. The compound s...

Cognitive abilities rise steeply from infancy to young adulthood and then are either maintained or decline to old age, depending on the specific ability. This pattern suggests corresponding continuities of mechanism and process, but it is striking that the fields of cognitive development and cognitive aging make little contact with each other's methods and theories. In this review we examine re...
