variations in biochemical features are extensive among cells. identification of marker that is specific for each cell is essential for following the differentiation of stem cell and metastatic growing. fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir) as a biochemical analysis more focused on diagnosis of cancerous cells. in this study, commercially obtained cell lines such as human ovarian carcin...

In this study, cattle manure was converted to bio-oil by subcritical hydrothermal liquefaction in the presence of NaOH. The effects of conversion temperature, process gas, initial conversion pressure, residence time and mass ratio of cattle manure to water on the bio-oil yield were studied. The bio-oil was characterized in terms of elemental composition, higher heating value, ultraviolet-visibl...

BACKGROUND The seminal plasma is an excellent source for noninvasive detection of spermatogenesis. The seminal plasma of normospermic and azoospermic men has been analyzed for detection of spermatogenesis. METHODS Optical spectroscopy (Attenuated Total Reflectance-Infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR) and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) has been used to analyze the seminal plasma and...

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a fundamental technique capable to characterize proteins and to investigate their conformation and dynamics in real physiological environments. Actually, a FTIR spectrum is characterized by many features, which may be correlated to the different components of the protein structure. In the last decade many relevant results have been achieved with...

Infrared spectroscopy is one of the oldest and well established experimental techniques for the analysis of secondary structure of polypeptides and proteins. It is convenient, non-destructive, requires less sample preparation, and can be used under a wide variety of conditions. This review introduces the recent developments in Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy technique and its app...

The evolution of papermaking from XII century, in Europe, was characterized by continuous changes of fibrous and non-fibrous materials as cellulose, wood pulp, sizing agents, fillers and coatings. In this study, the composition of many ancient paper documents is analysed by means of non-destructive Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) in order to identify the main components of paper ...
