Article Synopsis
  • Pure, TiO2-doped, and TiO2/Ag-doped WO3 films were created using evaporation techniques.
  • The electrochromic properties of these films were analyzed using Raman spectroscopy and chronoamperometry.
  • There is a negative correlation between the intensity of a specific Raman peak (at 810 cm(-1)) and the coloration efficiency, indicating that higher peak intensity leads to lower efficiency in color change.

Objective: To investigate the effects of sinusoidal magnetic field on isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) calcium release channel (RyR1) function.

Methods: With the Ca2+ dynamic spectrum and isotope labeled methods, the Ca2+ release and [(3)H]-Ryanodine binding, the initial rates of NADH oxidation and the production of superoxide of SR exposed to 50 Hz sinusoidal magnetic field (MF) were investigated respectively.

Results: 0.

Objective: To investigate the effects of power frequency magnetic field on the Ca2+ transport dynamics of isolated sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles.

Methods: The assays of Ca2+ uptake time course and the Ca2+-ATPase activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles were investigated by using dynamic mode of spectrometry with a Ca2+ dye; Ca2+ release channel activation was examined by 3H-ryanodine binding and Ca2+ release assays; membrane fluidity of sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles was examined by fluorescence polarization, without or with exposure to the vesicles at a 0.4 mT, 50 Hz sinusoidal magnetic field.
