Since ancient Greece, humanity has become fascinated with science. The development of new technologies that will further the existence of mankind, has been the goal for many great scientists. Through centuries of experimenting, the mid-evil era of alchemy, and many years after, Chemistry became a topic of much importance. During the 1800’s, science had become one of the most rapidly growing fields as explanations for how things work, or the technological progression allowing us to discover more.…

Introduction: The ability of substances within a solution to absorb light is a wonderful phenomenon as it aids in processes such as determining the concentration of proteins. The way that a solution absorbs light is due to the photoelectric effect. The way the photoelectric effect works is that when light comes in contact with the sample, the photons of light will react with its electrons. As the light travels through the solution, "a photon of light may interact with an electron ... [where]…

Joseph von Fraunhofer was a German optician and physicist who discovered and influenced how astronomers view the dark line spectrum, the spectrum of the sun and the diffraction of light. His discoveries turned him as a glassmaker with humble beginnings into a scientists whose discoveries would allow scientists after him to calculate the distances of stars and lead them to recognize that the universe is expanding. On March 6, 1787 in Straubing, Bavaria, Joseph Ritter von Fraunhofer was born into…

(EMR, for example, obvious light, a substance discharges. Each component emits a novel unique finger impression of light, so investigating the frequencies of this light distinguishes the substance that produced it. This method is called outflow spectroscopy and is an extremely valuable logical instrument. It is utilized as a part of space science to examine the components present in stars and in substance investigation. Electromagnetic radiation can be depicted regarding its wavelength the…

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) It is one of the classical techniques used routinely to derive information regarding the various bond types, the presence of different functional groups and interaction among them. FTIR spectroscopy provides opportunities to identify the unknown materials. In infrared spectroscopy the infrared radiations are passed through a sample. A portion of the radiation is absorbed by the…

In the meantime we can look at the brightest targets, typically Jupiter-sized planets in close-orbits, i.e. “hot Jupiters,” with current ground-based telescopes. I propose to develop a ground-breaking technique that uses optical high-resolution spectroscopy to study the atmospheric properties of other worlds, including their composition, structure (e.g. clouds and stratospheres), and dynamics (e.g. global wind patterns and rotation…

The dielectric loss factor was the most influenstic parameter in this microwave spectrum. The loss factor values increased as a function of frequency and slight modification in spectrum on changing the solute concentration. The ε˝ values obtained in our experiments are almost similar to our earlier work[43]. Above 8GHz the frequency dispersion spectrum of ε΄& ε˝ were superimposed with each other. The spacing between the dielectric values in dispersion spectrum could be attributed to…

Tribological behavior of double-glow plasma Zirconium-Yttrium alloying on γ-TiAl Cong Huang, Pingze Zhang*, Dongbo Wei, Xiangfei Wei, Xiaohu Chen and Feng Ding (College of Materials Science and Technology, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 211100, China) * Corresponding author: pzzhang_nuaa@126.com Abstract: A Zr-Y alloyed layer was prepared onto the surface of γ-TiAl using double-glow plasma surface alloying technique (DG technique). The results showed that the Zr-Y…

Introduction Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is a transport protein in cow’s blood stream, similar to Human serum albumin in human blood. It binds different types of drugs for delivery to various parts of the body. One of these drugs is warfarin, a blood anticoagulant. This research project’s focus was on the interaction between BSA and warfarin derivatives; our assumption was that the protein binding site has different affinities for different warfarin derivatives; this was to be determined by…
