We report the detection of fully resolved absorption lines of A–X bands from interstellar CO and CO, through high-resolution spectroscopy of X Persei with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. The first ultraviolet measurement of an interstellar CO column density shows that its isotopomeric ratio is CO/CO p . Simultaneously, the second ultraviolet detection of interstellar CO establishes it...

chemical methods ( actinometry ) depend on the measurement of the extent to which a chemical reaction occurs under the influence of uv light. two chemical actinometers have been used in this research. in one method, the mixtures of potassium peroxidisuiphate butanol solutions were irradiated for various time intervals, and ph-changes were determined. a linear relationship was observed between t...

drought, ultraviolet radiation and atmospheric co2 are some three environmental factors that seriously affect future food security. the objective followed in the present research was to study the effect of two levels of carbon dioxide (400 and 900 ppm), ultraviolet radiation (uv a, b and c with intensities of 18, 25 and 40 microw.cm-2 respectively) and water deficit (%100 and %60 of field capac...

A method is described for the direct quantitation of phosphatidylcholine molecular species by reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography employing flame ionization detection. The method is shown to be applicable to plan phosphatidylcholine. The molecular species are separated with a C18 column eluted in an isocratic mode. Detection by a commercially available flame ionization detector...

Sensitive and rapid HPLC procedure was developed for determination of Indacaterol Maleate (IND) in bulk powder and capsules using Ultraviolet and fluorescence detection. The chromatographic separation was performed on C18 column as a stationary phase, and the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile: 5mM acid hydrogen orthophosphate containing 0.3 % triethylamine (TEA) in ratio of (40: 60% v/v) a...

We report the measurement of the spin polarization of hydrogen (SPH) atoms by (2+1) laser-induced fluorescence, produced via the photodissociation of thermal HBr molecules with circularly polarized 193 nm light. This scheme, which involves two-photon laser excitation at 205 nm and fluorescence at 656 nm, offers an experimentally simpler polarization-detection method than the previously reported...

We report ultrasensitive and label-free detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) deposited by drop coating using deep-ultraviolet surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering (DUV-SERRS). Well-defined aluminum nanoparticle arrays as the SERRS substrate at 257 nm excitation wavelength enabled highly reproducible and real-time detection of TNT down to the detection limit of the attogram level in q...

Caffeine, its physiological actions, and its metabolic fate have been of great interest to the medical profession for many years because of the therapeutic value of the drug as a respiratory and circulatory stimulant, and its wide-spread consumption in beverages. Despite this, a suitable method for the detection and quantitative determination of small amounts of caffeine in body fluids has not ...

Marking organisms with fluorescent dyes and powders is a common technique used in ecological field studies that monitor movement of organisms to examine life history traits, behaviors, and population dynamics. External fluorescent marking is relatively inexpensive and can be readily employed to quickly mark large numbers of individuals; however, the ability to detect marked organisms in the fie...

A simple and precise high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure has been developed for the determination in biological fluids of ciprofloxacin, a new, with extended antibacterial spectrum, quinoline carboxylic acid. The work-up procedure involves a chemical extraction step followed by isocratic chromatography on a reversed-phase analytical column, with ultraviolet detection. The detectio...
