Two-Dimensional Correlation Spectroscopy (2D-COS) Tracking of the Formation of Selected Transition Metal Compounds Cu(II) and Cd(II) With Cinchonine and Their Impact on Model Components of Erythrocytes.

Cinchonine is a quinoline alkaloid known for its antimalarial properties. Due to the advantages of using compounds of metal ions with alkaloids, a copper(II) compound with cinchonine was synthesized, and, for comparative purposes, a cadmium(II) compound with cinchonine. During the synthesis, the emerging interactions between the metal ion and cinchonine were studied.

Raman and resonance Raman spectroscopic study of red blood cells in patients diagnosed with malaria.

Raman spectroscopy was used to study erythrocytes collected from patients diagnosed with malaria at the University Hospital in Kraków and from healthy volunteers. A laser line with a wavelength of 442 nm was used to induce the Raman resonance of haem, while a laser with a wavelength of 785 nm was used for the normal Raman effect. The results were analysed using Principal Component Analysis.

Analysis of the Effect of Layer Height on the Interlayer Bond in Self-Compacting Concrete Mix in Slab Elements.

This paper presents a study on the influence of the layered casting technology of self-compacting concrete (SCC) on the load-bearing capacity of interlayer bond in slab elements. The research was conducted on slab elements with dimensions of 750 × 750 × 150 mm, concreted from a single point of concrete delivery. The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of the height of the concreting top layer on the bond strength between the layers.

Impact of Element Size on Rebar-Concrete Interface Microstructure Using X-ray Computed Tomography.

This paper investigates the impact of element size on the microstructure of the steel-concrete interface in self-compacting concrete (SCC). Experiments were conducted on two types of test elements: a deep beam measuring 1440 × 640 × 160 mm and a wall element measuring 2240 × 1600 × 160 mm. The SCC mix was consistently pumped from the top, using a single casting point located near the formwork's edge.

Synthesis and Study of Building Blocks with Dibenzo[]oxepine: Potential Microtubule Inhibitors.

The synthesis of biphenylmethoxydibenzo[]oxepine or photoswitchable fluorinated dibenzo[]oxepine derivatives with one or three azo bonds, potential microtubule inhibitors, is described. Our studies provide a concise method for constructing derivatives containing the dibenzo[]oxepine skeleton. An analysis of products was run using experimental and theoretical methods.
