Bioluminescence centered at about 490 mn occurs in the bacterial luciferase system upon the oxidation of reduced flavin mononucleotide by molecular oxygen. Although excited FMN is the apparent candidate for the emitting molecule, the color of its fluorescence, which is centered at about 525 nm, does not correspond to that of the bioluminescence. In the experiments reported here flavins differin...

Effective temperature is a term used to rate the cooling or heating power of the physical environment in terms of dry bulb temperature. For livestock exposed to cold, windy environments, effective temperature must now be predicted by a wind-chill index prepared for humans and designed without regard to extemal insulation_ suck~hai r or wool. The human wind-chill relationship is quadratic in nat...

Supramolecular coordination chemistry

Highlights include the formation of ultra-large macrocycles with over 200 non-hundred atoms within a given cycle. The realisation that single molecule magnetic behaviour is not limited to molecules with high spin states. The connection of S = 1/2 cluster rings using a fragment that can switch on magnetic exchange between the clusters is extremely interesting for the synthesis of QBITs and elect...
