Solvent dependence of the νs(OD) bandshape in 2,6-dichlorophenol
1994
Abstract The infrared bandshape of νs(OD) of 2,6-dichlorophenol is measured in a series of solvents of increasing polarity, and is quantitatively analysed. The bandshape is described in terms of band indices, moments, correlation functions and correlation times. A distinct solvent dependence of bandshape and relaxation parameters has been found. The changes of the νs(OD) bandshape with increasing solvent polarity are compared in detail with those obtained earlier for analogous solvents for νs(OH) of 2,6-dichlorophenol. The overall behaviour of the spectral and relaxation parameters is similar, but the changes are less distinct for the weaker OD ⋯ Cl bond.
Synthesis, characterization, and cytotoxic activity of copper(II) and platinum(II) complexes of 2-benzoylpyrrole and X-ray structure of bis[2-benzoyl…
2004
Copper(II) and platinum(II) complexes of 2-benzoylpyrrole (2-BZPH) were synthesized and characterized with IR, 1 H and 1 3 C NMR spectroscopies and coordination geometry with ligands arranged in transoid fashion. The crystal structure of [Cu I I (2-BZP) 2 ] was determined by X-ray diffraction. Death of complex treated Jurkat cells was measured by flow cytometry. The bis-chelate complexes [Cu I I (2-BZP) 2 ] and [Pt I I (2-BZP) 2 ] adopt square-planar coordination geometry with ligands, arranged in transoid fashion. Concentrations of 1-10 μM Platinum(II) complexes reduced cell survival from 100% to 20%, in contrast to the copper(II) complex which caused no cell death at a concentration of 10…

Concept of Spectrobiopsy Facing Gliomas: Rational and Future Perspectives Related to Target Therapy
2020
Gliomas represent the most common primary intracranial tumors with an estimated incidence of 31% of all central nervous system neoplasms. Lesions originated from glial cells are extremely heterogeneous, ranging from low grade to high grade with different clinical and biological malignancy. Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most aggressive and frequent primary malignant tumor of the central nervous system in adults. Even though in the past decades considerable efforts have been made in the therapeutic management of this type of tumor,2 the prognosis after diagnosis of GBM remains extremely poor, reaching a median overall survival of 12–18 months. In 2016 the World Health Organization clas…
Magnetic Resonance Spectrobiopsy for Prediction of Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Mutation in Glioma
2020
Despite the existence of multimodal therapy paradigm, high-grade gliomas (HGGs) remain devastating tumors associated with one of the worst prognoses. Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent reported histologic type with a median survival, after surgery and combined treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, ranging from 12 to 16 months. The poor prognosis is due to the lack of therapeutic efficacy of chemical agents and irradiation in hypoxic tumor areas. Experimental studies have investigated several molecules with the aim to counteract several downstream signaling important in tumor progression, unfortunately without conclusive results. Several studies have shown that the extent of res…
Preparation and structural characterization of organotin(IV) complexes with ligands containing a hetero {N} atom and a hydroxy group or hydroxy and c…
2005
AbstractTwenty-two n-butyltin(IV) and t-butyltin(IV) complexes of ligands containing an –OH (–C@O) group or –OH and –COOHgroups and an aromatic {N} donor atom were prepared by metathetical reactions. On the basis of the FT-IR and Mo¨ssbauer spec-troscopic data, molecular structures were assigned to these compounds. The binding sites of the ligands were identified by means ofFT-IR spectroscopic measurements, and it was found that in most cases the organotin(IV) moiety reacts with the phenolic form ofthese ligands. In the complexes with –OH and –COOH functions, the –COOH group is coordinated to the organotin(IV) centres in amonodentate manner. The 119 Sn Mo¨ssbauer and the FT-IR studies suppor…
Comparison between SMOS Vegetation Optical Depth products and MODIS vegetation indices over crop zones of the USA
2014
The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission provides multi-angular, dual-polarised brightness temperatures at 1.4 GHz, from which global soil moisture and vegetation optical depth (tau) products are retrieved. This paper presents a study of SMOS' tau product in 2010 and 2011 for crop zones of the USA. Retrieved tau values for 504 crop nodes were compared to optical/IR vegetation indices from the MODES (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite sensor, including the Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVE), Leaf Area Index (LAI), and a Normalised Difference Water Index (NOW!) product. tau values were observed to increase during the…
Towards Quantifying Non-Photosynthetic Vegetation for Agriculture Using Spaceborne Imaging Spectroscopy
2021
Non-photosynthetic vegetation (NPV) has been identified as priority variable in the context of new spaceborne imaging spectroscopy missions. In this study we provide a first attempt to quantify NPV biomass from these unprecedented data streams to be provided by multiple recently launched or planned instruments. A hybrid workflow is proposed including Gaussian process regression (GPR) trained over radiative transfer model (RTM) simulations and applying active learning strategies. A soybean field data set including two dates with NPV measurements on yellow and senescent (brown) plant organs was used for model validation, resulting in relative errors of 13.4%. This prototype retrieval model wa…
Cheese flavour : instrumental techniques
2004
This chapter discusses instrumental techniques to analyze cheese flavor. It focuses on recent advances made to study and identify the taste-active components present in the water-soluble fraction of cheese. A general procedure for the preparation of fractions involves an extraction of grated cheese by water followed by a fractionation scheme, generally adapted from the fractionation protocol used to isolate cheese nitrogen fractions in the study of proteolysis in cheese during ripening. However, as sub-fractions have to be evaluated sensorially to assess their relative sensory impact and try to link it to their chemical composition, a suitable eluent has to be used in the chromatographic st…
Volatile components of dry-cured ham
1991
The volatile components of dry-cured ham were isolated by vacuum distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The structures of 76 molecules were identified by mass spectrometry, cochromatography, or measured Kovats indices. The compounds identified may come from the catabolism of the main constituent parts of the meat (glucids, lipids and protids) during the curing of the hams, from the pig feed, or from technological processes. The volatile compounds extracted from 50 g of ham according to the technique described correspond to a chromatographical surface equivalent to 0.12 mg of the dodecane internal standard, or approximately 2.4 ppm of the weight of the sample.
