Fourier transform spectra of phosgene (Cl2CO) have been recorded in the 11.75 μm and 5.47 μm spectral regions using a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer at resolutions of 0.00102 cm-1 and 0.0015 cm-1 respectively leading to the observation of the ν5 and ν1

Bisphenol A leads to oxidative DNA damage and alters the damage response in mouse fibroblasts

Metabolism of bisphenol A (BPA) generates reactive oxygen species causing DNA strand breaks and damaged DNA bases. Base excision repair (BER) is responsible for removing oxidatively induced DNA base lesions and for repairing single strand breaks (SSBs)

Kurylo, Qing Liang, Emmanuel Mahieu, Jens M?hle, Simon O?Doherty, Keiichi Ohnishi, Vladimir L. Orkin, Klaus Pfeilsticker, Matt Rigby, Isobel J. Simpson, Yoko Yokouchi
Changes in the global atmospheric abundance of a substance are determined by the balance between its emissions and removal. Declines observed for ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) controlled under the Montreal Protocol are due to global emission reductions

Absolute line intensities for oxirane in the 11.4 micron spectral region.

Walter J. Lafferty, Jean-Marie Flaud, Fridolin Kwabia
Absolute individual line intensities of numerous transitions of the fundamental ν15, ν12 and ν5 bands of oxirane (ethylene oxide, cyc-C2H4O) have been measured in the 790-940 cm-1 region using seven high-resolution Fourier transform spectra recorded at 0

Influence of the central mode and soft phonon on the microwave dielectric loss near the strain-induced ferroelectric phase transitions in Sr n+1 uTi n uO 3n+1 u*

Recently, Lee et al. [1] used1% tensile strain to induce a ferroelectic instability in thin films of Srdn+1uTi nuO 3n+1u (n=1-6) phases. They showed that the Curie temperature T cu gradually increased with n, reaching 180 K for Sr7Ti6O19 (n=6). The

Photochemical Properties of Hydrofluoroethers CH3OCHF2, CH3OCF3, and CHF2OCH2CF3: Reactivity toward OH, IR Absorption Cross Sections, Atmospheric Lifetimes and Global Warming Potentials

Author(s)
David J. Vanderah, Marlon L. Walker, David T. Gallagher, Ryan Vierling, Fay Crawshaw
Spectroscopic ellipsometry was used to evaluate the resistance to protein adsorption (RPA) of self- assembled monolayers (SAMs) of HS(CH2)3O(CH2CH2O)6M and [HS(CH2)3CH]2O-(CH2CH2O)6M, where M = CH3 or H, on Au. The SAMs were exposed to fibrinogen, a

Metrology for comparison of displacements at the picometer level

Jack A. Stone Jr., Patrick F. Egan, Jay H. Hendricks, Gregory F. Strouse, Douglas A. Olson, Jacob E. Ricker, Gregory E. Scace, Donavon Gerty
An apparatus capable of comparing displacements with picometer accuracy is currently being designed at NIST. In principle, we wish to compare one displacement in vacuum to a second, equal displacement in gas, in order to determine gas refractive index. If

Transport Properties of Fluids near Critical Points
