the interaction between propranolol (prop) and human serum albumin (hsa) was studied in the presence of dimethyl methylphosphonate (dmmp). dmmp is usually considered as a simulant for chemical warfare agents (cwas). for this purpose fluorescence quenching, resonance light scattering (rls), synchronous, three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular dynamics (md) simulation were emplo...

INTRODUCTION Peak and trough serum concentrations of vancomycin were determined in term newborn infants with confirmed or suspected Staphylococcus sp sepsis by high performance liquid chromatography and flourescence polarization immunoassay. OBJECTIVE To statistically compare the results of the high performance liquid chromatography and flourescence polarization immunoassay techniques for mea...

We study resonance flourescence in a four level ladder system and illustrate some novel features due to quantum interference and atomic coherence effects. We find that under three photon resonant conditions, in some region of the parameter space of the rabi frequencies Ω 1 , Ω 2 , Ω 3 , emission is dominantly by the level 4 at the line center even though there is an almost equal distribution of...

Haematococcus pluvialis is an organism that under certain conditions can produce astaxanthin, an economically important carotenoid. In this study, the transcriptional expression patterns of eight carotenogenic genes of H. pluvialis in response to jasmonic acid (JA) were evaluated using real-time PCR. Astaxanthin accumulation action and photosynthesis flourescence were monitored at the same time...

Several recent advances in turbulent dynamo theory are reviewed. High resolution simulations of small-scale and large-scale dynamo action in periodic domains are compared with each other and contrasted with similar results at low magnetic Prandtl numbers. It is argued that all the different cases show similarities at intermediate length scales. On the other hand, in the presence of helicity of ...

The absorption of brighteners by living cells and their transport to subsequent growth is described. Brighteners are highly fluorescent, ultraviolet-absorbing compounds which appear to be essentially nontoxic, stable biological markers. They have been effectively absorbed by growing cultures of bacteria, yeasts, actinomycetes, and higher fungi, with active growth centers evidencing the greatest...
