Several samples coming from the recently discovered (February 2019) Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age Chovdar necropolis in Azerbaijan were analysed using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technique. The analysis allowed a preliminary classification of eight groups based on their composition, obtained XRF spectra fundamental parameter method. A more detailed was then graph clustering

Hybrid imaging systems combining x-ray computed tomography (CT) and fluorescence tomography can improve fluorescence imaging performance by incorporating anatomical x-ray CT information into the optical inversion problem. While the use of image priors has been investigated in the past, little is known about the optimal use of forward photon propagation models in hybrid optical systems. In this ...

Fluorescence imaging using the dye indocyanine green as a contrast agent was investigated in a prospective clinical study for the detection of rheumatoid arthritis. Normalized variances of correlated time series of fluorescence intensities describing the bolus kinetics of the contrast agent in certain regions of interest were analyzed to differentiate healthy from inflamed finger joints. These ...

Substrates effect is observed on the suppression of the phonon sideband from nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in 50nm diamond nanocrystals at cryogenic temperatures. As a quantitative parameter of the population of phonon sidebands, the Debye-Waller factor is estimated from fluorescence spectra on glass, silicon, and silica-on-silicon substrates. Fluorescence spectra of negatively charged NV cente...

2014 We report the spectral and time characteristics of the fluorescence of CsMnF3. The weak intrinsic fluorescence in nominally pure samples is analysed with time resolved techniques showing the energy transfer processes from exciton to fluorescing traps. By applying either a uniaxial stress along the Mn2-Mn1 direction or a high magnetic field in the basal plane we are able to monitor the effi...

Antibodies that bind to human platelet membrane glycoproteins llb and lIla were used to develop methods for analyzing platelet membrane components by flow cytometry. Platelets were tentatively identified by their lowintensity light scatter profiles in whole blood or plateletrich plasma preparations. Identification of this cell population as platelets was verified by using plateletspecific antib...

My intention in this paper is to outline and motivate a novel theory of syntactic bootstrapping, Exemplar-Based Phonological Bootstrapping (EBPB), based on Stochastic Tree-Substitution Grammar. Because I have outlined the basic structure of STSG in other places for assessed work on this degree, I will not recapitulate that work in the body of the present paper, but will instead quote it in full...

We studied intensity fluctuations of a single photon source relying on the pulsed excitation of the fluorescence of a single molecule at room temperature. We directly measured the Mandel parameter Q(T) over 4 orders of magnitude of observation time scale T by recording every photocount. On time scale of a few excitation periods, sub-Poissonian statistics is clearly observed and the probablility...

The temperature dependence of the relationship between the decline in activity of photosystem II (PSII) and a chlorophyll a fluorescence parameter combining the excitation pressure (1-qP) and efficiency of excitation energy capture by open PSII reaction centers in the light-acclimated state (Fv'/Fm') was investigated in cotton leaves. A formula for the prediction of PSII inactivation is propose...
