چکیده

Irradiation of a mixture of 4-methoxyphenacyl-caged (S)-glutamate and 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrobenzyl-caged γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) on neurons, at ~260 nm, evokes selective photorelease of (S)-glutamate (Glu) whereas photolysis at 405 nm causes selective photorelease of GABA.

Laser photolysis of caged compounds at 405 nm: photochemical advantages, localisation, phototoxicity and methods for calibration.

Rapid, localised photolytic release of neurotransmitters from caged precursors at synaptic regions in the extracellular space is greatly hampered at irradiation wavelengths in the near-UV, close to the wavelength of maximum absorption of the caged precursor, because of inner-filtering by strong absorption of light in the cage solution between the objective and cell. For this reason two-photon e...

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation All Optical Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing-dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing-optical Wireless Communication System under Different Weather Conditions

This paper proposes an analytical model for evaluating the performance of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) for all optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (AO-OFDM) optical wireless channel. The investigated performance for proposed system is evaluated for the parameters  bit error rate (BER) and Q factor .The constellation diagrams, and bit error rate (BER) of the recei...

Wavelength-controlled orthogonal photolysis of protecting groups.

The selective control of a chemical process by the use of an electromagnetic wave has been a challenging goal for several decades. In this article, we describe for the first time the use of a monochromatic light beam to differentiate two different reactive centers. A direct application of this concept is found in the chemistry of protecting groups. Two different photolabile protecting groups we...

Positionally dependent <supscr>15</supscr>N fractionation factors in the UV photolysis of N<subscr>2</subscr>O determined by high resolution FTIR spectroscopy

Positionally dependent fractionation factors for the photolysis of isotopomers of N20 in natural abundance have been determined by high resolution FTIR spectroscopy at three photolysis wavelengths. Fractionation factors show clear lSN position and photolysis wavelength dependence and are in qualitative agreement with theoretical models but are twice as large. The fractionation factors increase ...

Comparing the Efficiency of UV/TiO2 and UV/O3 Processes in Degradation of Sulfonamide Antibiotics in Aquatic Solution

Background and purpose: Emerging pollutants such as antibiotics are resistant to biodegradation. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of photocatalytic and Ozonation photolysis on decomposition of Sulfonamide antibiotics (Sulfacetamide, Sulfathiazole, Sulfamethoxazole, and Sulfadiazine) in aquatic environments. Materials and methods: In this study, experiments were conducted discont...
