Fluorescence

Hands shoulder-width apart. Back arched. Eyes level with the bar. Shoulder blades touching. The weight plummets as I struggle to manage the load. Just as the bar hovers over my chest, muscles fire like a well-rehearsed symphony across my upper body, providing the force necessary to wrestle with gravity. The tides turn as the weight retires back to its stand while I let out an unearthly grunt fueled by adrenaline and euphoria. As I collapse on the ground, gasping and heaving, my lungs take in the…

frequency of the radiation to produce absorption of the radiation("Electromagnetic Resonance - Springer." http://link.springer.com/10.1007%2F978-0-387-73003-5_431. Accessed 25 Jan. 2017.). Tesla used his coils to investigate x-rays, radio, and fluorescence. One of the most disputed of his inventions is the radio. Some claim that Guglielmo Marconi invented the radio. Others claim Tesla did. He came up with the idea of a radio in 1892. He demonstrated this by driving a remote controlled…

resuspending in 0.1 ml of PBS. The intensity of FITC fluorescence in the cells was detected and cells were counted by flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter Cell Lab Quanta SC flow cytometer, US) equipped with a 488 nm laser to analyze FITC labeled NCs (λex max = 490 nm, λem max = 525 nm) [54]. At least 10,000 cells were analyzed for each experiment. The flow cytometric data were presented as frequency distribution histograms. The uptake of maximum fluorescence NCs was set as 100%, and the relative…

The purpose of this lab is to examine cross sections from the leaves of C3 and C4 plants and to determine the morphological differences between them while relating those differences to their metabolism. In C3 plants the carbon dioxide is first incorporated into a 3-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the day and photosynthesis takes place throughout the mesophyll cells. In comparison C4 plants, the CO2 is first incorporated into a 4-carbon compound. Their stomata are open during the…

It was monitored ultraviolet (UV) [9,12-14], fluorescence (FL) [10,11,15] and tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) [16-23] detector. Pregabalin lacks of specific UV chromophore group so it doesn’t give characteristic UV spectra. Nevertheless, there have been reported studies performed UV detection at 200…

BENGCO SUBMITTED TO: KRISTINE JANE A. AGASON, RMT RICHARD ROBERT GUINOO, RMT When I was in third year college, I wanted to have my glucose level tested. This is because we had a lesson about Diabetes Mellitus. Unfortunately, I did not get my glucose level tested. Even though my plan was…

Cri du chat Syndrome Cri du chat syndrome is an uncommon genetic condition that is caused by missing genetic material on chromosome 5. Specifically a part on the small arm (p) of chromosome 5 is absent. The disorder occurs in 1 in 20,000 to 50,000 live births according to the US National Library of Medicine. What causes this to happen is currently unknown. Cri du chat syndrome was first described in 1963 by French geneticist Jérôme Lejeune. He noticed that several of his patients…

Steganography, or data hiding is the technique of embedding a message (pay¬load) in a medium (carrier), without causing suspicion about the existence of hidden data in the medium. The perturbations to the medium are carried out in such a manner that there is no perceivable noise component introduced. One way to illustrate the concept of steganography would be to analyze the Sim¬mons’ Prisoners’ problem. Two prisoners are allowed to communicate through a medium via an agent trusted by the warden.…

respectively. CMI proteoliposome preparations would routinely result in a ~80% decrease in ACMA fluorescence with an NADH:DQ oxidoreductase specific activity of 3,200 nmol NADH min-1 mg CMI-1 (Figure S 1.A). The decrease in ACMA signal was confirmed to be the result of CMI activity by incubation with the protonophore carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP) as minimal change in ACMA fluorescence was observed (Figure S 1.B). Additionally, the NADH:DQ oxidoreductase specific activity of…

Limb girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMD) is a general term used to describe a diverse cluster of neuromuscular disorders and they are usually being inherited. They are caused by mutations of certain genes which results in respective defective proteins being generated. These defective proteins are usually involved in the direct or indirect stabilizing of the membrane of the muscle. This disorder involves symptoms like primary or secondary weakening of limb and axial muscles, muscle wasting and…
