Solution NMR studies of a 15N-labeled G-protein ?-subunit (G?) chimera (15N-ChiT) reconstituted heterotrimer have previously shown that binding of ??-subunits
We show that in realistic time-domain measurements of a Poisson two-level system, the observed transition rates are renormalized downwards due to the finite

Calcium phosphate cement (CPC) can self-harden in vivo to form hydroxyapatite with excellent osteoconductivity. In recent studies, CPC-chitosan composites were
We demonstrate a coherent lidar that uses a broadband femtosecond fiber laser as a source and resolves the returning heterodyne signal into N spectral channels

Model tissue engineering scaffolds based on photocurable resin mixtures with sodium chloride have been prepared for optical imaging studies of cell attachment
We investigate the influence of high-order dispersion and nonlinearity on the propagation of ultraslow optical solitons in a lifetime broadened four-state
We investigate a life time broadened and coherently prepared five-state system for multi-wave mixing processes. We show that very efficient wave mixing occurs

A small-angle light scattering (SALS) apparatus, coupled with a specially designed microfluidic device was used, to monitor the structure of a diblock copolymer
We present measured values of the refractive index, thermo-optic coefficient, and absorption coefficient of a number of common organic solvents and aqueous
