The comparison of the photochemical properties of three aromatic and five aliphatic amino acids and three dipeptides was carried out using 212.8 nm laser irradiation and high performance liquid chromatography. The photochemical sensitivity, photolysis quantum yield and quantum yield of peptide bond scission were determined. Two-photon absorption coefficients of solvent (liquid water) and cell windows material (fused silica) at lambda = 212.8 nm were established.

As an essential micronutrient, phosphorus plays a key role in oceanic biogeochemistry, with its cycling intimately connected to the global carbon cycle and climate change. Authigenic carbonate fluorapatite (CFA) has been suggested to represent a significant phosphorus sink in the deep ocean, but its formation mechanisms in oceanic low-productivity settings remain poorly constrained. Applying X-ray absorption near edge structure, transmission electron microscopy, and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer analyses, we report a unique mineral assemblage where CFA crystals coat phillipsite in abyssal sediments of the East Mariana Basin and the Philippine Sea.

Fused silica with surface structures has potential applications in microfluidic, aerospace and other fields. To fabricate structures with high dimensional accuracy and surface quality is of paramount importance. However, it is indeed a challenge to strike a balance between accuracy and efficiency at the same time.

Adjunctive treatment of periodontitis lacks solutions which allow for enough time for wound healing in the periodontal pockets by avoiding fast re-colonization. Such a solution might be an antibiotic-containing formulation with a controlled release over a period of weeks. Here, a recently described minocycline-containing approach is qualified for further clinical development by focusing on proof-of-concept, systemic burden, resistance development, and degradation studies.

Femtosecond laser pulses are currently regarded as an emerging and promising tool for processing wide bandgap dielectric materials across a variety of high-end applications, although the associated physical phenomena are not yet fully understood. To address these challenges, we propose an original, fully analytical model combined with Two Temperatures Model (TTM) formalism. The model is applied to describe the interaction of fs laser pulses with a typical dielectric target (e.

To overcome the light power fluctuation and frequency mismatch in photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS), we proposed a self-corrected 1-only resonant cell-based PAS (1-RCPAS) gas analyzer. Based on the theoretical analysis of the 1 signal, a signal processing algorithm considering laser power-current nonlinearity is proposed. The 1-only algorithm is well-tailored for the resonant systems, requiring no time-division multiplexing.
