The quaternion Fourier transform (QFT), which is a nontrivial generalization of the real and complex Fourier transform (FT) using quaternion algebra has been of interest to researchers for some years (see e.g. [3, 5]). It was found that many FT properties still hold but others have to be modified. Based on the (right-sided) QFT, one can extend the classical wavelet transform (WT) to quaternion ...

Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and destiny of life in the universe. The field uses many scientific disciplines and spectrometric technologies to address these important issues. While questions about life in the universe have existed as long as man has looked up at the stars, advances in science and spectrometry in the past few decades make it possible for us t...

toxicity bioassays are important tools to determine biological effects of chemical agents on species. the questions remained on, what effects have been imposed on each of the different molecular site of cells by chemical exposure and how to find a pattern for chemical toxicity. to address the questions, hepg2 cell lines were exposed to the different concentrations of cisplatin for 24 hours to r...

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...

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 ...
