PROBING MOLECULAR PHOTOPHYSICS IN A MATTER-WAVE INTERFEROMETER

Probing molecular photophysics in a matter-wave interferometer

We show that matter-wave diffraction off a single standing laser wave can be used as an accurate measurement scheme for photophysical molecular parameters.These include state-dependent optical polarizabilities and photon-absorption cross sections, the relaxation rates for fluorescence, internal conversion, Anti Rodent Tape and intersystem crossing,

To study thyroid hormone levels (FT3, FT4, and TSH levels) in critically ill children and their correlation with disease severity and clinical outcome in Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi, Jharkhand

Introduction: There are manifold effects on neuro-endocrine and metabolic systems due to critical illness.Abnormalities in thyroid hormone levels in a critically-ill patient with no pre-existing hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid dysfunction is seen in Euthyroid sick syndrome or Non thyroidal illness syndrome.The understanding of different endocrinal ch

Four temporin-derived peptides exhibit antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Temporin-GHa (GHa) was cloned from Hylarana guentheri, showing a weak antimicrobial activity.In order to improve its bactericidal efficacy, GHaR6R, GHaR7R, GHaR8R and GHaR9W were designed and synthesized.Compared to the parent peptide, the GHa-derived peptides show potent antimicrobial activities against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

Psychosocial assessment tools for use before transplantation are predictive of post-operative psychosocial and health behavior outcomes: a narrative review of the literature

IntroductionIn end-stage diseases, transplantation may be necessary.The limited number of donors led to the development of several pre-transplant psychosocial assessment tools.We summarized the predictive value of these tools before solid-organ transplantation.MethodsThe PRISMA search strategy and the MEDLINE database were used to review the litera
