background: the objective of this study is to establish raman signatures from pure cultures of different candida species using raman spectroscopy (rs) and use these signatures for rapid identification of unknown candida species. methods: pure cultures of five candida species were evaluated using rs to build a limited signature library. ‘raman processing’ (rp) software was used for principal com...

recently, two of the authors have introduced the collapse capacity spectrummethodology, which allows the assessment of the collapse capacity of highly inelastic p-deltasensitive regular frame structures without performing non-linear time-history analyses. the mainingredient of this method is the collapse capacity spectrum, which represents the seismic collapsecapacity of an inelastic non-deteri...

this paper is mainly focused on noise pollution problems related to the use of wind turbines. the installed turbines are vestas v52 and the farm map under study is a typical rural area in south italy, in which a wind farm has been recently installed and made operative. since the area is rural and the number of vehicles per hour is negligible, noise emitted by roads does not affect the predictio...

The method of the superposition of a nonlinearity modulation is employed to design a two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear photonic lattice for efficient multiple quasi-phase-matched second harmonic generation in the process of nonlinear Raman-Nath diffraction (NRND). An analytical solution is proposed to calculate the second harmonic intensity in rectangular 2D lattices. This approach can be useful f...
