TLDR
In this article, various Raman spectroscopy techniques employed for water quality detection are presented based on the types of pollutants: organics, inorganics, and biological contaminants, and relevant detection parameters are reviewed, such as detection materials, detection parameters, limit of detection, detection range, peak positions, and selectivity.Abstract:
Water pollution is hazardous to the health of humans and other organisms, and detection of pollutants in aquatic environments is of primary importance for water quality monitoring. Raman spectroscopy offers an effective tool for qualitative analysis and quantitative detection of contaminants in a water environment. This article focuses on applications of Raman spectroscopy for detection of water quality. In this article, various Raman spectroscopy techniques employed for water quality detection are presented based on the types of pollutants: organics, inorganics, and biological contaminants. Additionally, the relevant detection parameters are reviewed, such as detection materials, limit of detection, detection range, peak positions, and selectivity. Furthermore, the advantages and limitations of various Raman spectroscopy techniques are summarized. Finally, the future development of Raman spectroscopy for detection of water quality is discussed.read more

Human alteration of the global nitrogen cycle: sources and consequences
Peter M. Vitousek,John D. Aber,Robert W. Howarth,Gene E. Likens,Pamela A. Matson,David W. Schindler,William H. Schlesinger,David Tilman +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of available scientific evidence shows that human alterations of the nitrogen cycle have approximately doubled the rate of nitrogen input into the terrestrial nitrogen cycle, with these rates still increasing; increased concentrations of the potent greenhouse gas N 2O globally, and increased concentration of other oxides of nitrogen that drive the formation of photochemical smog over large regions of Earth.

Decomposition of Hardy functions into square integrable wavelets of constant shape
A. Grossmann,J. Morlet +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied square integrable coefficients of an irreducible representation of the non-unimodular $ax + b$-group and obtained explicit expressions in the case of a particular analyzing family that plays a role analogous to coherent states (Gabor wavelets) in the usual $L_2 $ -theory.

A New Type of Secondary Radiation
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in every case in which light is scattered by the molecules in dust-free liquids or gases, the diffuse radiation of the ordinary kind, having the same wave-length as the incident beam, is accompanied by a modified scattered radiation of degraded frequency.
