Figure 1.3 Schematic diagram showing the before (left) and after (right) the draw the sample into a nebulizer by the Bernoulli Effect where it is converted. Atomic absorption and emission spectroscopy in the ultraviolet and visible A schematic diagram of a UV-Vis spectrophotometer is shown in Figure.11. Preface Inductively co...

A new bioassay technique, sonication-assisted metalenhanced fluorescence, which is based on the combined use of ultrasound waves and metal-enhanced fluorescence (MEF), is reported. In this technique, low-intensity ultrasound waves significantly reduce the bioassay time by creating a temperature gradient between the bulk and the surface, which is thought to result in a mass transport of biomolec...

the comparison of growth processes and fluorescent properties of cdznte semiconductor quantum dots that are synthesized in different concentrations of zn2+ in water are discussed in this paper. the samples are characterized through absorbtion (uv) and photoluminescence spectra (pl). the results show that when the reaction time is prolonged, the absorption peak and fluorescent emission peak pres...

In green-sulfur bacteria sunlight is absorbed by antenna structures termed chlorosomes, and transferred to the RC via the Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO) complex. FMO consists of three monomers arranged in C3 symmetry where each monomer accommodates eight Bacteriochlorophyll a (BChl a) molecules. It was the first pigment-protein complex for which the structure has been determined with high resolutio...

Gram-negative bacteria use siderophores, outer membrane receptors, inner membrane transporters and substrate-binding proteins (SBPs) to transport transition metals through the periplasm. The SBPs share a similar protein fold that has undergone significant structural evolution to communicate with a variety of differentially regulated transporters in the cell. In Yersinia pestis, the causative ag...

Fluorescence spectroscopy has been demonstrated to be a powerful tool for characterizing phytoplankton communities in marine environments. Using different fluorescence spectra techniques, it is now possible to discriminate the major phytoplankton groups. However, most of the current techniques are based on fluorescence excitation measurements, which require stimulation at different wavelengths ...

europium (eu) doped zno microsphere based nano-sheets were synthesized through hydrothermal method. effects of different concentrations of europium on structural and optical properties of zno nano-sheets were investigated in detail. prepared un-doped and eu-doped zno samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (edx), scanning electron microscop...

Fluorescence spectroscopy was examined as a potential technique for identification and classification of bacterial pathogens. Colonies of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, and Klebsiella pneumoniae on agar plates were measured directly using a laboratory spectrofluorimeter coupled with optical fiber. Steady state fluorescence spectra were collected following excit...
