This article gives an overview of the use of X-ray absorption spectroscopy to characterize the magnetic properties for technologically important, low dimensional magnetic materials. An overview is given both for the experimental hardware, the measurements and the analysis of the spectra. The information obtained is discussed for metallic and semiconducting systems, using both the X-ray magnetic...

Up to date, there are four pharmacologically characterized subtypes of muscarinic receptors (M1, M2, M3 and M4). In our study we have investigated muscarinic receptor subtypes in smooth muscle layers of human stomach. Isolated preparations of longitudinal and circular muscle layers from human stomach were used. Acetylcholine, bethanechol, carbachol, pilocarpine and AHR -602 produced concen...

In addition to the standard description of structures and textures crystalline rocks mathematical approaches have been proposed based on a rigorous determination petrographic structure through probabilities binary intergrain contacts. general, is defined as an invariant aspect rock organization, algebraically expressed by canonical diagonal form symmetric Pij matrix geometrically visualized str...

steam reforming integrated with oxidation of methanol was considered with numerical simulation. the parallel micro-channels with circular cross sections were used. because when the catalytic deposited inside the rectangular micro-channels, it fills up the edges. hence, the approximation of a cylindrical channel is appropriate. effect of this changing in cross section was considered and results ...

human serum albumin (hsa) is an abundant, multifunctional and nonglycosylated negatively charged plasma protein. hsa ascribed ligand-binding and transport properties, antioxidant functions and enzymatic activities. in the present study, the interaction and side effects of a new designed anti-cancer compound (1,10-phenanthroline butyl dithiocarbamato palladium(ii) nitrate) on hsa have been inves...

natural vibration analysis of plates represents an important issue in engineering applications. in this paper, a new and simplify method for vibration analysis of circular and rectangular plates is presented. the design of an effective robust controller, which consistently attenuates transverse vibration of the plate caused by an external disturbance force, is given. the dynamics of the plate i...

— The temperature dependence of the optical absorption bands and of the magnetic circular dichroism are measured for the Au" centre in KBr and RbCl. The data are analyzed with the method of moments by using six electron-lattice interaction coefficients to describe the coupling of the | 1 r l u > and | Tlu > excited states with the AXg, Eg and T2g lattice modes. The centre is found to be coupled...

Magnetic circular dichroism is used to investigate the evolution of ferromagnetism in the p-type magnetic semiconductor Ga12xMnx As. Local Mn moments and holes produce two spectroscopically distinct contributions, whose properties reveal an antiferromagnetic Mn-hole alignment in the ferromagnetic state. These components are present in both metallic and insulating samples with different temperat...

The purpose of this study is to design, fabricate and optimize microfluidic mixers to investigate the kinetics of protein secondary structure formation with Synchrotron Radiation Circular Dichroism (SRCD) spectroscopy. The mixers are designed to rapidly initiate protein folding reaction through the dilution of denaturant. The devices are fabricated out of fused silica, so that they are transpar...
