Variation of the BrO/SO2 molar ratio in the plume of Tungurahua volcano between 2007 and 2017 and its relationship to volcanic activity

2019

International audience; Recent long-term observations of the bromine monoxide (BrO) to sulphur dioxide (SO2) molar ratio in volcanic plumes have suggested a link between changes in the BrO/SO2 ratio and the volcanic activity. Nevertheless, understanding of the mechanisms determining this link is still limited due to the lack of studies on volcanic bromine release from the melt into the atmosphere. We present the results of 10 years (2007–2017) of observations of the BrO/SO2 molar ratio in the volcanic plume of Tungurahua volcano, Ecuador. Following the nearly continuous eruptive activity from 1999 to 2008, Tungurahua showed alternating phases of eruptive activity separated by periods of qui…

Context-Aware Visual Exploration of Molecular Databases

2006

Facilitating the visual exploration of scientific data has\ud received increasing attention in the past decade or so. Especially\ud in life science related application areas the amount\ud of available data has grown at a breath taking pace. In this\ud paper we describe an approach that allows for visual inspection\ud of large collections of molecular compounds. In\ud contrast to classical visualizations of such spaces we incorporate\ud a specific focus of analysis, for example the outcome\ud of a biological experiment such as high throughout\ud screening results. The presented method uses this experimental\ud data to select molecular fragments of the underlying\ud molecules that have intere…

Synthesis and characterization of novel bile-acid – heteroaryl conjugates with N-(2-aminoethyl)amido linker

2008

Abstract Four novel bile acid conjugates N-[2-([2,2′]-bithiophen-5-ylmethyl)aminoethyl]-3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-amide (1), N-[2-([2,2′]-bithiophen-5-ylmethyl)aminoethyl]-3α,7α,12α-trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-amide (2), N-[2-(1H-pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)aminoethyl]-3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-amide (3), N-[2-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)aminoethyl]-3α-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-amide (4) have been synthesized in moderate to good yields, and their structures have been characterized by 1H, 13C, 13C DEPT-135, PFG 1H,13C HMQC, and PFG 1H,13C HMBC NMR spectra. Their molecular weights and elemental compositions have been determined by ESI-TOF mass spectrometry and elemental analyses. Crystal structure of 1 characterized with o…

Automatic detection and analysis of cell motility in phase-contrast time-lapse images using a combination of maximally stable extremal regions and Ka…

2013

Phase-contrast illumination is simple and most commonly used microscopic method to observe nonstained living cells. Automatic cell segmentation and motion analysis provide tools to analyze single cell motility in large cell populations. However, the challenge is to find a sophisticated method that is sufficiently accurate to generate reliable results, robust to function under the wide range of illumination conditions encountered in phase-contrast microscopy, and also computationally light for efficient analysis of large number of cells and image frames. To develop better automatic tools for analysis of low magnification phase-contrast images in time-lapse cell migration movies, we investiga…

Model and quality assessment of single image dehazing

2016

This thesis is mainly related to color imaging science, involving many disciplines, such as color image enhancement, image formation, color reproduction, optical physics, radiometry, colorimetry, image quality and psychophysics.Dehazing aims at recovering the image information degraded by light scattering, e.g. bad weather. This process is an ill-posed and a challenging problem. Although a variety of approaches have been proposed, there is still room for further improvement and standardization. In this work, we investigate the limitations of haze model in terms of accuracy of color image recovery. We address also the link between the visibility deterioration and the spectral content of the …

Structure Determination of Photoproducts of Anthracenes with (Arylmethoxymethyl) Sidechains

2007

Irradiation of 9-(arylmethoxymethyl)anthracenes 3 leads either to a cyclomer and cyclodimer mixture (3a  4a,5a), to selectively formed dimers (3b  5b), or a selectively formed cyclomer (3c  4c). The [4π+4π]cyclodimerization is under the conditions used a regioselective head-to-tail process. In the crystals of the dimers 5a,b, the sidechains are attached in an antiperiplanar position related to the CC bonds generated in the dimerization. In solutions, however, the structures consist of three rotamers the equilibration of which was studied by temperature-dependent NMR spectra. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Unraveling the packing pattern leading to gelation using SS NMR and X-ray diffraction: direct observation of the evolution of self-assembled fibers

2010

A detailed understanding of the mode of packing patterns that leads to the gelation of low molecular mass gelators derived from bile acid esters was carried out using solid state NMR along with complementary techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM). Solid state 13C{1H} cross polarization (CP) magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR of the low molecular mass gel in its native state was recorded for the first time. A close resemblance in the packing patterns of the gel, xerogel and bulk solid states was revealed upon comparing their 13C{1H}CPMAS NMR spectral pattern. A doublet r…
