A Note on Application of Commercial Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Substrates in Trace Analysis Reply to reviewers As noted, we observed the presence of the impurity during our study of MBA deposition. Preliminary identification of BPE was done after comparison with literature data and BPE appeared in our laboratory (and also in all the Department) only after this step. Absence of the BPE in the used EtOH was proved by a simple experiment, described in Supplemental Material: Klarite chips of

Gamma rays can be used for many different applications, they could be of very little importance, or they could be life saving. One very important use for gamma rays is for cancer radiation therapy. Radiation therapy is a high radiation transmitted to the body to shrink tumors and kill cancer cells. The main type of radiation is using gamma rays. There are two other types; x-rays and charged particles. A machine outside of the body delivers the radiation. However in some cases it can be delivered
2.5.1 Raman Spectroscopy Inelastic scattering of light by elementary excitations such as phonons and plasmon in the material is termed as Raman scattering. When a beam of light (UV-Visible and IR region) of frequencyI is incident on a solid, most of the light gets scattered elastically, i.e., without change in energy. A small fraction of light is scattered inelastically with frequencies I ± m, where m are the characteristic vibrational frequencies of the e- cloud in the molecule/solid. Figure
Raman spectroscopy is capable of depth profile, in-situ kinetic measurement and temperature calculation. Combining with SERS sensor, the weak Raman scattering could be dramatically enhanced, which is usually called Surface-enhance Raman spectroscopy (SERS). It will provide a powerful technique to observe very subtle bond variation information in ultra-thin film samples and interphases. This study attempts to understand the in-situ kinetic surface nano-structure, reaction and interfacial analysis
is illustrated (John 2006 (15)). Raman spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy is, besides IR spectroscopy, one of the two spectroscopic methods used for vibrational analysis. Both techniques are used to provide a fingerprint of molecules by generating spectra. The main difference is that IR spectroscopy is based on absorption of photons with a frequency equal to the vibrational frequency of functional groups, whereas Raman spectroscopy is based on inelastic scattering of monochromatic light.

The ability to determine source of a blood is important to serval fields of science, especially in forensic science (1, 2). Determining the origin of a bloodstain can be beneficial in investigations for wildlife crimes, animal cruelty cases, hit-and-run cases, and other cases as well (1, 2). It can be especially important in hit-and-run cases, because an individual may deny that they were in a vehicular accident where a human was hit (1). They even may lie by telling an investigator that they hit
SCATTERING Scattering takes place when obstacle dimension is smaller than wavelength of signal.Light scattering is a form of scattering in which light is the form of propagating energy which is scattered. Light scattering is deflection of a ray from a straight path i.e. Irregularities in the propagation medium, particles, or in the interface between two media. Deviations from the law of reflection due to irregularities on a surface are also usually considered to be a form of scattering. Scattering
is one science that works to make society a better place. One type of spectroscopy that is particularly useful in forensics is Raman Spectroscopy which applies spectroscopy to the study of ink on paper. The process involves irradiating a document with monochromatic light (light of one particular wavelength) using lasers and observing the scattering, absorption, intensity, and overall interaction of the light with the ink. From this forensic investigators can determine the type of ink from
Trace analysis is the examination of any evidence that can be transferred between objects when they touch, which could include glass, fibers/fabrics, and hair (forensicsciencesimplified.org). As science and technology have evolved over the past seventy years, how has the way trace evidence is analyzed changed and evolved to meet the new standards as well? Have these new advancements changed the way that the evidence is collected? These are all questions that have been dancing around in my head since
2.6.2.2 Waveguide Dispersion The effective index varies with wavelength not only due to of material dispersion, but also because varies with . In turn, it varies with wavelengths. These implicit variations of [ ] with gives rise to the second cause for chromatic dispersion, which is term waveguide dispersive [D37]. The total dispersive are combinations of the relative contributions of waveguide dispersion and material dispersion for a conventional single-mode fibers. The zero-dispersive

Beginning intro: Research and advancement of TiO2 nanowires have increased tremendously due to recent findings about its unique chemical and physical properties. Many new methods of synthesizing TiO2 nanowires have been created and improved. Specifically, three growth methods are reviewed in this survey: (1) sol-gel method (2) direct oxidation method (3) hydrothermal method. Three applications of TiO2 nanowires are touched in this survey: (1) photocatalytic (2) gas sensing (3) dye-sensitized solar
A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds – Shelley (sparknotes Percy Shelley). Percy Bysshe Shelley was born August 4, 1792 in Broadbridge Heath, England. He was the eldest son of Timothy Shelley, a Member of Parliament, and Elizabeth Shelley (Bio “Percy Bysshe Shelley”). He was very respected by all five of his younger siblings and even by the maids that worked for his family. Since he did stand in line to inherit not only his grandfather’s
Bacterial meningitis is life threatening disease that nearly 4,100 Americans are affected by each year. While most of those infected by the disease recover, permanent disabilities such as brain damage, hearing loss, and learning disabilities can result from the infection. Furthermore, there are numerous types of bacteria that can cause meningitis. Often, the bacteria associated with bacterial meningitis is commonly found in another life altering illness, sepsis.1 The etiology, pathology, treatment
Introduction Graphene has received great mass media coverage since Geim and Novoselov published their foundlings about monocrystalline graphitic films in 2004, which won them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. (Novoselov et al, 2004) It has been described as the wonder substance or super material by the mass media, not only because it is the thinnest material ever known and the strongest ever measured, but also due to its excellent electrical, thermal, mechanical, electronic, and optical properties

1. INTRODUCTION The living system is a complicated system to deal with. Higher the level of the organism, complex is the understanding of the mechanisms of action, structures and dynamics of the biomolecules associated with the proper functioning of the system. It is in this regard that the progress in single molecule detection (SMD) and single molecule spectroscopy (SMS) has proved to be a boon. Although, initially it raised doubts among many as to whether it is really advantageous over ensemble
