Intracavity Rayleigh-Mie scattering for multipoint, two-component velocity measurement.

Published: June 2006

A simultaneous multipoint, two-component Doppler velocimeter is described. The system uses two optical cavities: a Fabry-Perot etalon and an optical cavity for collecting and recirculating the Rayleigh-Mie-scattered light that is collected from the measurement volume in two parallel but opposite directions. Single-pulse measurements of two orthogonal components of the velocity vector in a supersonic free jet were performed to demonstrate the technique. The recirculation of the light rejected by the interferometer input mirror also increased the signal intensity by a factor of 3.5.

A two-component chemical-shift-imaging technique is described from which fat and water images can be obtained in a single scan and in the presence of an inhomogeneous field. In addition, the method provides transverse relaxation rates R2 and R2' separately for each of the spectral components. The method is a combination and extension of the GESFIDE [gradient echo sampling of FID and echo, J.

This is a multipoint kinetic method for simultaneously determining acetoacetate (AcAc) plus beta-hydroxybutyrate and lactate plus pyruvate in a single cuvette of the Multistat III centrifugal analyzer. In the first step, AcAc and pyruvate are completely reduced, using 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.

Breast cancer estrogen receptor assays: assessment of a direct hyperbolic fitting to analyse multipoint binding data.

Eur J Cancer Clin Oncol

March 1988

Laboratoire de Biophysique Cellulaire, Hopital Jean Bernard, Poitiers, France.

Analysis of breast cancer estrogen receptor multipoint binding assay is performed by fitting experimental data to a hyperbolic model derived from the law of mass action. The calculations performed on a microcomputer are carried out from the total bound and free ligand concentrations. The parameters estimated by hyperbolic fitting, receptor concentration N and constant of dissociation K, well agree with those obtained by Scatchard's transformation.
