How Compact Spectrometers are being used in Environmental Research: Cleaning Up Our Messes
Modern technological advances have made our lives easier – from pharmaceuticals to help us stay healthy, to pesticides that allow greater crop yield – at least in the short term. But, what happens to these compounds once we are done using them? Many of them end up in...How Compact Spectrometers are being used in Cancer Research: Approaches to a Multifaceted Problem
Every week, it seems like another friend or family member is diagnosed with cancer. The American Cancer Society predicts that 1,688,780 people will be diagnosed with cancer and 600,920 people will die from cancer in the US in 2017. This problem isn’t limited to the...Photodegradation of the neurotoxicant methylmercury (MeHg) in Swedish lakes
TG Hilmarsson Methylmercury (MeHg) is a potent neurotoxin which has gained special attention in recent years for its ability to bioaccumulate in organisms and biomagnify through the food chain of aquatic ecosystems. It can have a severe impact on human health and even...In vitro Demonstration of Cancer Inhibiting Properties from Stratified Self-Organized Micro-Discharge Plasma-Liquid Interface
Z Chen, S Zhang, I Levchenko, II Beilis, M Keidar – arXiv preprint arXiv:1701.01655, 2017 Experiments have revealed a nontrivial cancer-inhibiting capability of liquid media treated by the plasma jet capable of forming thinly stratified self-organized patterns...Multi-wavelength Pulse Amplitude Modulated fluorometry (Phyto-PAM) reveals differential effects of ultraviolet radiation on the photosynthetic physiology of phytoplankton pigment groups
L Beecraft, SB Watson, REH Smith – Freshwater Biology, 2016 The effects of UV-B, UV-A and PAR on the photochemistry of phytoplankton from Hamilton Harbour, Lake Ontario, were measured to assess how well a multi-wavelength Pulse Amplitude Modulated fluorometer...Introducing our new Applied Spectroscopy Division
