Vibronic coupling in the ground and excited states of the imidazole radical cation.

Vibronic interactions in the ground and two excited states of the imidazole radical cation, XA″ (π), AA' (nσ), and BA″ (π), and the associated nuclear dynamics were studied theoretically. The results were used to interpret the recent photoelectron measurements [M. Patanen et al.

IMPACT OF NON-CONTACT ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION ON LIVING ORGANS AND TISSUES.

This study aims to create a laboratory unit for induction heating and assess how possible it is to use local induction heating in solving problems related to biotechnology and medicine. This article contains a description of a method for non-contact local hyperthermal heating of biological tissues using inductive electromagnetic radiation. The method is based on the introduction of a composite material consisting of a polymer base and incorporated ferromagnetic particles into living tissues.

Characterization of Ferromagnetic Composite Implants for Tumor Bed Hyperthermia.

Hyperthermia therapy (HT) is becoming a well-recognized method for the treatment of cancer when combined with radiation or chemotherapy. There are many ways to heat a tumor and the optimum approach depends on the treatment site. This study investigates a composite ferromagnetic surgical implant inserted in a tumor bed for the delivery of local HT.

Valence shell photoelectron angular distributions and vibrationally resolved spectra of imidazole: A combined experimental-theoretical study.

Linearly polarized synchrotron radiation has been used to record polarization dependent valence shell photoelectron spectra of imidazole in the photon energy range 21-100 eV. These have allowed the photoelectron angular distributions, as characterized by the anisotropy parameter β, and the electronic state intensity branching ratios to be determined. Complementing these experimental data, theoretical photoionization partial cross sections and β-parameters have been calculated for the outer valence shell orbitals.

Vibronic coupling in the ground and excited states of the pyridine radical cation.

Vibronic interactions in the pyridine radical cation ground state, A, and its lowest excited states, A and B, are studied theoretically. These states originate from the ionization out of the highest occupied orbitals of pyridine, 7a (nσ), 1a (π), and 2b (π), respectively, and give rise to the lowest two photoelectron maxima. According to our previous high-level ab initio calculations [Trofimov et al.
