Shortwave infrared diffuse optical wearable probe for quantification of water and lipid content in emulsion phantoms using deep learning.

Significance: The shortwave infrared (SWIR, to 2000 nm) holds promise for label-free measurements of water and lipid content in thick tissue, owed to the chromophore-specific absorption features and low scattering in this range. water and lipid estimations have potential applications including the monitoring of hydration, volume status, edema, body composition, weight loss, and cancer. To the best of our knowledge, there are currently no point-of-care or wearable devices available that exploit the SWIR wavelength range, limiting clinical and at-home translation of this technology.

A noncovalent hybrid of [Pd(phen)(OAc)] and st-DNA for the enantioselective hydroamination of β-nitrostyrene with methoxyamine.

We developed a novel Pd-catalysed enantioselective synthesis of C-N bonds using the chiral scaffold of DNA. The non-covalently linked [Pd(phen)(OAc)2] with st-DNA catalysed the Markonicov hydroamination of β-nitrostyrene with methoxyamine for the first time with >75% enantiomeric excess (ee) in an aqueous buffer (pH 7.4) at room temperature.

Fukushima radionuclides at air filter and rain water samples collected from Istanbul and their atmospheric removal time.

Accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) is one of the most serious accident in the world after Chernobyl accident. Following the continuing release of radionuclides in air after FDNPP, traces of fission products ((131)I, (134)Cs and (137)Cs) were recorded in the air filter and rain water samples collected from the ÇNAEM area at İstanbul on 4 April 2011. Airborne particle samples were collected daily in air filters and radio assayed with a high purity germanium detector.

LoWMob: Intra-PAN Mobility Support Schemes for 6LoWPAN.

Mobility in 6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low Power Personal Area Networks) is being utilized in realizing many applications where sensor nodes, while moving, sense and transmit the gathered data to a monitoring server. By employing IEEE802.15.

Calculation of electric dipole intensity parameter to explore some interaction between hard metal ions Pr(III) and Nd(III) with pi-electron density of butene-1,4 and butyne-1,4-diols in non-aqueous solutions: an absorption spectral study.

Pr(III) and Nd(III) are hard acceptors in HSAB (hard and soft acid base) sense and hence are known to exhibit practically a little affinity towards electrons. At the same time these metal ions show strong preference for oxygen donor chelating ligands. The ligands chosen for this study are structurally related diols, viz.
