Light-induced infrared difference spectroscopy (IR-DS) has been used, especially in the last decade, to investigate early photophysics, energy transfer and photoprotection mechanisms in isolated and membrane-bound light harvesting complexes (LHCs). The technique has the definite advantage to give information on how the pigments and the other constituents of the biological system (proteins, memb...

The processing steps required for geographic information retrieval include many steps that are common to all forms of information retrieval, e.g. stopword filtering, stemming, vocabulary enrichment, understanding Booleans, and fluff removal. Only a few steps, in particular the detection of geographic entities and the assignment of bounding boxes to these, are specific to geographic IR. The pape...

The unified Ir-catalyzed enantioselective allylic substitution reactions of silyl enol ethers derived from ketones and α,β-unsaturated ketones with branched, racemic allylic alcohols are described. This transformation is catalyzed by the Carreira system and proceeds without fluoride, and with high ee and b : l ratio. The synthetic utility of this method was illustrated by the concise enantiosel...

The paper presents two approaches to aspect assignment in a knowledgebased English-Polish machine translation (MT) system. The first method uses a set of heuristic rules based on interlingua (IR) representation provided by the system, whereas the other employs machine learning techniques. Both methods have similar performance and obtain high accuracy of over 88% on test data. The crucial differ...

The infrared (IR) spectrum of protonated azulene (AzuH(+), C(10)H(9)(+)) has been measured in the fingerprint range (600-1800 cm(-1)) by means of IR multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source using a free electron laser. The potential energy surface of AzuH(+) has been charact...

rapid urban growth is resulting into increase in travel demand and private vehicle ownership in urban areas. in the present scenario the existing infrastructure has failed to match the demand that leads to traffic congestion, vehicular pollution and accidents. with traffic congestion augmentation on the road, delay of commuters has increased and reliability of road network has decreased. four s...

The high resolution vibrational spectrum of ethyl cyanide (C2H5CN) has been investigated in the far-IR using synchrotron-based Fourier transform spectroscopy. assignment was performed Automated Spectral Assignment Procedure (ASAP) allowing accurate rotational energy levels four lowest fundamental vibrations species, namely v13=1 @ 205.934099(8) cm?1, v21=1 212.141101(8) v20=1 372.635293(15) and...

The assignment of the vibrational modes in amorphous carbon nitride (CN) films is discussed by considering CN films deposited using a variety of methods. The infrared (IR) spectra of CN show three main absorption bands. In hydrogenated CN samples, CH and NH groups give rise to stretching vibrations at 3000 and 3400 cm , respectively. A weaker sharp band is y1 x x observed approximately 2200 cm ...

In order to examine the effectiveness of the NSMC scheme, a comparison was arranged under the cooperation frame between EUMETSAT and CMA (China Meteorological Administration). Two periods of data from Meteosat-5 including IR and WV channels were processed and compared by both the EUMETSAT and NSMC schemes. The comparison periods were one week long each, and in January and July respectively. The...
