Molecular Size Determination of Coal-Derived Asphaltene by Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy
The molecular properties of asphaltenes have been the subject of uncertainty in the literature; in particular the molecular architecture is still a matter of debate. Some literature reports provide evidence that the contrast of petroleum asphaltenes versus coal-derived asphaltenes is useful for understanding the governing principles of asphaltene identity. Here, we employ fluorescence correlati...
متن کاملFluorescence Changes in Nerve Induced by Stimulation
It was previously assumed, on the basis of changes in the ultraviolet absorption spectrum and of increase in ionizable sulfhydryl groups, that during excitation the proteins of excitable structures undergo some structural rearrangements, and these rearrangements may be similar to those designated by the term transconformation. In the present experiments, it was observed that electrical stimulat...
متن کاملFunctional tomographic fluorescence imaging of pH microenvironments in microbial biofilms by use of silica nanoparticle sensors.
Attached bacterial communities can generate three-dimensional (3D) physicochemical gradients that create microenvironments where local conditions are substantially different from those in the surrounding solution. Given their ubiquity in nature and their impacts on issues ranging from water quality to human health, better tools for understanding biofilms and the gradients they create are needed...
متن کاملDevelopmental Changes in Accommodation Evidenced by an Ultrabiomicroscopy Procedure in Patients of Different Ages
We demonstrate that changes in the behaviour of the contractile ciliary muscle accompanied by augmented rigidity of the lens are the most important aspects in the loss of accommodation. With ultrabiomicroscopy (UBM), we demonstrated that the performance of the ciliary muscle is diminished and accompanied by rigidity of the lens. Both lens thickness and trabecular-ciliary process distance (TCPD)...
متن کاملSolvatochromism of â-Naphthol
Excitation and emission fluorescence spectra of 2-naphthol and 2-methoxynaphthalene were measured in a series of pure solvents. The spectral shifts are correlated by the Kamlet-Taft parameters (π*, â, and R). As judged from the π* dependence, both molecules have a negligibly small dipole moment in their ground electronic state, which increases in the excited (S1) state. However, the majority of...
