Raman spectral identification of phase distribution in anodic titanium dioxide coating
2017
Growing need for cleaner environment and energy production has brought about a hunt for perspective materials. One of such perspective materials is titanium dioxide (TiO2, titania) due to its chemical stability and photocatalytic properties. Titania can be synthesized through many methods but anodization process is one of the prevailing methods to produce high active surface nanostructured titania. Various anodization electrolytes produce different polymorphs of TiO2. Uniform phase distribution on the surface is crucial for higher photocatalytic activity. In this research, the influence of two electrolytes on polymorph phase distribution of TiO2 was investigated. Phase distribution correlat…
Polarisation dependent Raman study of single-crystal nickel oxide
2011
Abstract The magnetic domain structure and Raman scattering have been studied in NiO single-crystals with three different (100), (110) and (111) orientations. Twin-domain structure was observed in NiO(100) and NiO(110) single-crystals using cross-polarized optical microscopy. We found that the ratio of the two-magnon (at 1500 cm−1) to the two-phonon (2LO, at 1100 cm−1) Raman bands intensity is sensitive in a particular way to the type of the twin-domain pattern.
Synergistic enhancement via plasmonic nanoplate-bacteria-nanorod supercrystals for highly efficient SERS sensing of food-borne bacteria
2017
Bio-sensing techniques utilizing metallic nanoparticles as a probe have gained more and more attention and play today an important role in the detection of bacteria. To date, although several sensing materials have been tested, there is still a long way to go to achieve a fast, low-cost, ultrasensitive and multifunctional substrate suitable for a universal biosensor for detection of bacterial cells. Here, we report a novel probe design based on anisotropic plasmonic nanoparticles organized to a biocompatible 3D bio-inorganic scaffold, i.e., nanoplate-bacteria-nanorod supercrystals (NBNS) with extremely high surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (SERS) activity as a model of synergistic plasm…
The pathophysiology of intestinal lipoprotein production
2015
Intestinal lipoprotein production is a multistep process, essential for the absorption of dietary fats and fat-soluble vitamins. Chylomicron assembly begins in the endoplasmic reticulum with the formation of primordial, phospholipids-rich particles that are then transported to the Golgi for secretion. Several classes of transporters play a role in the selective uptake and/or export of lipids through the villus enterocytes. Once secreted in the lymph stream, triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) are metabolized by Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), which catalyzes the hydrolysis of triacylglycerols of very low density lipoproteins (VLDLs) and chylomicrons, thereby delivering free fatty acids to vario…
The bending triad of the quasi-spherical top molecule SO2F2 in the 550 cm(-1) region
2006
International audience; The analysis of the v(3)/v(7)/v(9) bending triad of SO2F2 has been recently performed with the Watson's Hamiltonian up to octic terms employing 79 rovibrational parameters but including only the first order Coriolis interaction terms, fixed to ab initio values [H. Burger, J. Demaison, F. Hegelund, L. Margules, I. Merke, J. Mol. Struct. 612 (2002) 133-141]. Since SO2F2 is a quasi-spherical top, it can also be considered as derived from the SO42- sulfate ion. We have thus developed a new tensorial formalism in the O(3) > Td > C2v group chain [M. Rotger, V. Boudon, M. Loete, J. Mol. Spectrosc. 216 (2002) 297-307]. This approach allows a systematic development of rovibra…
A study of the atmospherically important reactions between dimethyl selenide (DMSe) and molecular halogens (X2 = Cl2, Br2, and I2) with ab initio cal…
2012
The atmospherically relevant reactions between dimethyl selenide (DMSe) and the molecular halogens (X(2) = Cl(2), Br(2), and I(2)) have been studied with ab initio calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. Geometry optimization calculations showed that the reactions proceed from the reagents to the products (CH(3)SeCH(2)X + HX) via three minima, a van der Waals adduct (DMSe:X(2)), a covalently bound intermediate (DMSeX(2)), and a product-like complex (CH(3)SeCH(2)X:HX). The computed potential energy surfaces are used to predict what molecular species are likely to be observed in spectroscopic experiments such as gas-phase photoelectron spectroscopy and infrared matrix isolation s…
Carbon Dots Dispersed on Graphene/SiO2/Si: A Morphological Study
2019
Low-dimensional carbon materials occupy a relevant role in the field of nanotechnology. Herein, the authors report a study conducted by atomic force microscopy and Raman spectroscopy on the deposition of carbon dots onto graphene surfaces. The study aims at understanding if and how the morphology and the microstructure of chemical vapor deposited graphene on Si/SiO2 may change due to the interaction with the carbon dots. Potential alteration in the graphene's electrical properties might be detrimental for optoelectronic applications. The deposition of carbon dots dispersed in water and ethanol solvents are explored to investigate the effect of solvents with different fluidic properties. The…
Angļu valodas personvārdu atveide plašsaziņas līdzekļos
2015
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kā plašsaziņas līdzekļos tiek īstenota angļu valodas personvārdu atveide latviešu valodā. Šāda analīze aktualizē personvārdu atveides principus, kā arī pievērš uzmanību gadījumiem, kad atveide tiek veikta kļūdaini vai netiek veikta vispār. Lai šo mērķi sasniegtu, personvārdu atveide tiek pētīta vēsturiskā un teorētiskā skatījumā. Balstoties uz iegūtajām zināšanām, tiek analizēta personvārdu atveide internetā un žurnālā “Rīgas Viļni”, secinot, vai tā ir veikta pareizi vai nepareizi. Kļūdainas atveides gadījumā tiek norādīts pareizais variants. Pašreizējās situācijas analīze sniedz informāciju par angļu valodas personvārdu atveides principiem un to ievēro…

Extraction of Enzymes from Tissues, Cells and Cell-Organelles
1994
Microorganisms, such as bacteria, algae, moulds and others, are ruptured by sonication, by passage through a French press [1, 2] (Fig. 2.1) or a Manton-Gaulin homogenizer [3], by blending with glass beads [4], or by digesting the cell walls enzymically [5]. Extract preparation is preferably performed in the cold (+4 °C).
