A flavonol, kaempferol, isolated from the fresh flower petals of C. sativus L. (Iridaceae) as the sole component. The structure of the compound was determined by chemical and spectroscopic methods.

From the aerial parts of Tanacetum balsamita L. (Compositae) a flavonol aglycon was iso­lated using chromatographic techniques. The structure of this compound was determined using spectroscopic methods (UV, H-NMR and MS) as 3',4',5,7-Tetrahydroxy flavonol (Quercetin).

The alkaloids present in the flowers of Erythrina stricta have been isolated and characterized by spectroscopic methods. A new alkaloid 11-acetyl erysotrine has been isolated and its structure established by spectral studies (UV, IR, 1H NMR and HRMS).

PURPOSE To determine whether hydrogen 1 magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopic imaging can be used to predict aggressiveness of prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS All patients gave informed consent according to an institutionally approved research protocol. A total of 123 patients (median age, 58 years; age range, 40-74 years) who underwent endorectal MR imaging and MR spectroscopic imagin...

Abstract We describe the spectroscopic data processing pipeline of Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), which is conducting a redshift survey about 40 million galaxies and quasars using purpose-built instrument on 4 m Mayall Telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory. The main goal DESI to measure with unprecedented precision expansion history universe baryon acoustic oscillation techn...

This paper describes a high-resolution, infrared spectroscopic survey of young, low-mass stars designed to identify and characterize pre−main-sequence spectroscopic binaries. This is the first large infrared radial velocity survey of very young stars to date. The frequency and mass ratio distribution of the closest, low-mass binaries bear directly on models of stellar, brown dwarf, and planetar...

Based on a new criterion that was proposed to search for the universality of spectroscopic constants for bound ground-state diatomics [R. H. Xie and P. S. Hsu, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 243201 (2006)], we have found universal scaling relations between spectroscopic constants of diatomic systems with s-, p-, and d-type valence-shell constituents. Our study suggests a useful empirical approach for the...

An alternative pseudo CT generation method for magnetic resonance image (MRI)-based radiotherapy planning was investigated in the work. A pseudo CT was initially generated using the rigid image registration between the planning MRI and previously acquired diagnostic CT scan. The pseudo CT generated was then refined to have the same morphology with that of the referenced planning image scan by a...
