TLDR
In this paper, a detailed study has been made of the photolysis of the acidified solutions previously recommended for chemical actinometry, and accurate values of quantum efficiency have been determined at twelve wavelengths between 254 and 578 m$\mu $, and the effect of temperature, light intensity and of photolyte composition have been investigated.Abstract:
The earlier experiments with potassium ferrioxalate have been extended and a detailed study has been made of the photolysis of the acidified solutions previously recommended for chemical actinometry (Parker 1953). Accurate values of quantum efficiency have been determined at twelve wavelengths between 254 and 578 m$\mu $, and the effect of temperature, light intensity and of photolyte composition have been investigated. At some wavelengths independent values of quantum efficiency have been obtained by comparison with uranyl oxalate and by direct comparison with a calibrated thermopile. The results indicate that potassium ferrioxalate provides a very valuable new chemical actinometer, and its use is recommended in place of uranyl oxalate for many purposes. Full working details for the use of the actinometer are provided.read more

Advanced Oxidation Processes for Wastewater Treatment: Formation of Hydroxyl Radical and Application
Jianlong Wang,Le Jin Xu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarize the formation reactions of the hydroxyl radical (·OH) and the mechanisms of pollutants degradation in six types of advanced oxidation processes, including radiation, photolysis and photocatalysis, sonolysis, electrochemical oxidation technologies, Fenton based reactions, and ozone-based processes.

Cell-permeant caged InsP3 ester shows that Ca2+ spike frequency can optimize gene expression
TL;DR: Oscillations in cytosolic free calcium levels at roughly physiological rates maximize gene expression for a given amount of InsP3, and this derivative diffused into intact cells and was hydrolysed to produce a caged, metabolically stable InsP 3 derivative.

Linear correlation between inactivation of E. coli and OH radical concentration in TiO2 photocatalytic disinfection
TL;DR: This is the first quantitative demonstration that the concentration of OH radicals and the biocidal activity is linearly correlated, which indicates that the OH radical is the primary oxidant species responsible for inactivating E. coli in the UV/TiO2 process.

Rapid photolytic release of adenosine 5'-triphosphate from a protected analogue: utilization by the Na:K pump of human red blood cell ghosts.
TL;DR: The caged ATP can be used as a stable source of ATP unmetabolizable by intracellular ATPases until the ATP is released following photolytic irradiation.
