Electronic absorption spectra of proteins are primarily characterized over the ultraviolet region (185–320 nm) of the electromagnetic spectrum. While recent studies on peptide aggregates have revealed absorption beyond 350 nm, monomeric proteins lacking aromatic amino acids, disulphide bonds, and active site prosthetic groups are expected to remain optically silent beyond 250 nm. Here, in a joi...

Jui-Teng Lin New Vision Inc. Taipei, Taiwan AbstractThis paper presents analytic equations for the photoinitiator concentration and the dynamic absorption of the photosensitizer, methylene blue (MB), in an aquaculture system. The modelling is consistent with the measured data showing the dynamic absorption is a decreasing function of the light illumination time due to the depletion of MB concen...

We present a design for silicon-compatible vertical Germanium pin photodiodes structured into all-dielectric metasurfaces. Proof-of-principle metasurfaces are fabricated on silicon-on-insulator wafers in top-down process. Simulations and measurements of the spectroscopic properties, specifically absorption, show high spectral selectivity, absorption efficiencies as large those bulk layers with ...

The multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP) is a generalization of the famous traveling salesman problem (TSP), where more than one salesman is used in the solution. Although the MTSP is a typical kind of computationally complex combinatorial optimization problem, it can be extended to a wide variety of routing problems. This paper presents an efficient and evolutionary optimization algorith...

ground state geometries have been computed using density functional theory (dft) at b3lyp/6-31g(d,p) level of theory. the excitation energies and spectroscopic parameters have been computed using long range corrected (lc) hybrid functional by time dependent density functional theory (tddft) with lc-blyp level of theory. the polarizable continuum model (pcm) has been used for evaluating bulk sol...

Absorption and fluorescence spectra in acetonitrile for a series of substituted aryl hydrazones of N-hexyl-1,8-naphthalimide are studied with the aim of potential application of the compounds for enzyme activity localization. The influence of the substituents on the spectral characteristics has been evaluated. The absorption and fluorescence energies of substituted aryl-1,8-naphthalimide hydraz...
