Valentine’s Day App Note: Spectroscopy, Olfaction, and Fatal Attraction
What are you looking for this Valentine’s Day? Good looks with bright colors? Or a sweet irresistible scent? If you answered YES to either you may be more like an INSECT than you think! USDA and University of Florida researchers are studying the effect of scent...Sunlight Photolysis of Extracellular and Intracellular Antibiotic Resistance Genes tetA and sul2 in Photosensitizer-Free Water
Fiona B. Dunn and Andrea I. Silverman Abstract Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs; the genetic material in bacteria that encode for resistance to antibiotics) have been found in the aquatic environment, raising concerns of an environmental transmission route. In an...Photocatalytic Degradation of Thiacloprid Using Tri-Doped TiO2 Photocatalysts: A Preliminary Comparative Study
Antonietta Mancuso, Wanda Navarra, Olga Sacco, Stefania Pragliola, Vincenzo Vaiano and Vincenzo Venditto Abstract Different tri-doped TiO2 photocatalysts (Fe-N-P/TiO2 , Fe-N-S/TiO2 , Fe-Pr-N/TiO2 , PrN-S/TiO2 , and P-N-S/TiO2 ) were successfully prepared and...Can the Addition of Odor and Visual Targets Enhance Attraction of the Asian Citrus Psyllid (Hemiptera: Liviidae) to Sticky Traps?
Journal of Economic Entomology – Arjun Khadka, Sandra A Allan, Daniel Cho, Emma N I Weeks Abstract Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, negatively impacts the citrus industry as it transmits Candidatus Liberibacter spp., the causal agent of citrus...Monochromatic light filters to enhance biomass and carotenoid productivities of Dunaliella salina in raceway ponds
Emeka G. Nwoba, Tarannom Rohani, Mohammadjavad Raeisossadati, Ashiwin Vadiveloo, Parisa A.Bahri, Navid R.Moheimani Abstract Monochromatic blue and red wavelengths are more efficient for light to algal biomass conversion than full-spectrum sunlight. In this study,...Introducing our new Applied Spectroscopy Division
