Recovery of atmospheric water vapor total column abundance from imaging spectrometer data around 940 nm - Sensitivity analysis and application to Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) data

TL;DR: In this paper, two simple techniques (Continuum Interpolated Band Ratio, CIBR, and Narrow/Wide ratio, N/W) to retrieve path precipitable water from AVIRIS high spectral resolution radiance data using the 940 nm water absorption band are compared.

Scaling behaviour in cluster decay

TL;DR: In this article, a scaling law for the decay time of alpha particles is generalized for cluster decay, and it is shown that for the even-even parents, log T 1/2 depends linearly on the scaling variable and on the square root of the reduced mass of cluster and daughter.

Neuraminidase treatment modifies the function of electroplax sodium channels in planar lipid bilayers.

TL;DR: It appears that sialic acid residues play a significant role in the function of sodium channels, possibly through their influence on the local electric field and/or conformational stability of the channel molecule.

Automated structure factor refinement from convergent-beam patterns

TL;DR: In this article, a fitting index is defined, by analogy with R factors used in neutron diffraction, which automatically adjusts values of the low-order structure factors, crystal thickness and absorption coefficients for the best fit to experimental convergentbeam electron diffraction (CBED) patterns recorded in the systematics orientation.

Photophysical Properties and Rotational Relaxation Dynamics of Neutral Red Bound to β-Cyclodextrin

TL;DR: In this article, the rotational relaxation dynamics of a phenazine-based dye, neutral red, were investigated in aqueous solutions in the presence of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) using ground-state absorption and steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements.
