amorphous‚ red selenium thin ®lms and their conversion to the hexagonal‚ gray modi®cation is presented. The method is based on deposition process from aqueous solution of selenosulfate by citric or ascorbic acid as oxidizing agents. The X-ray diffraction method is used for identi®cation of the deposited materials. Ultra-thin ®lms of both amorphous and hexagonal selenium are highly transparent in the Vis±NIR spectral region. # 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 81.15.-z; 81

D24BT8 Structural Biology Essay - What is the future of structural genomics in academia and industry? Cera Wong April 3‚ 2013 Structural genomics (SG) programs were formed by development of structure biology in large scale. Targets were selected from a specific genome‚ topologically similar types of proteins or protein families. (REF: Maksymilian) SG programs have developed more accurate and efficient methodologies on structure determination over the last decade (REF: Maksymilian)‚ where many

between Wilkins and Franklin on her role. Franklin was Wilkins’s equal‚ but he believed she was an assistant. This led to hostility in their relationship‚ and possibly changed the course of her career. Franklin continued her research using the x-ray diffraction techniques she was taught in Paris on DNA and made tremendous discoveries using the technique. First‚ Rosalind discovered that there are two types of DNA and that the combination of them makes x-rays blurry. On May 2‚ 1952‚ Rosalind’s research student

the broken pencil effect that can be observed when a pencil is placed in a glass of water. The pencil seems to be "broken" at the surface of the water as the light waves go from the air to the water. Diffraction is the bending of waves around a barrier or through an opening. The amount of diffraction a wave experiences depends on two factors: the wavelength of the wave and the size of the barrier or opening the wave encounters. Sound travels around corners because it has relatively larger wavelengths

Finally this catalyst is being characterized using three methods which are the infrared spectra‚ X-ray diffraction as well as the TGA and DTA methods. 2.0 Introduction Catalyst is a substance that causes the change in rate of a chemical reaction. This reaction is known as catalysis and unlike other reagents that take part in a chemical reaction

Motiva Enterprises Sulfuric Acid Tank Explosion Chemistry of Hazardous Materials Mr. Giles Hoback July 22‚ 2014 Abstract On July 17‚ 2001 there was an explosion at a Motiva Enterprises refinery. The refinery is located in Delaware City‚ Delaware. A work crew was working on the sulfuric acid tank when the explosion took place. The work crew was repairing a catwalk under hot work conditions. A spark fell into the vapors that were being emitted from the sulfuric acid tank and ignited. The vapors

Since light has a dual nature‚ it can travel both like a particle and like that of a wave. As the light travels from a person’s eyes‚ images can be form as it is reflected by the mirror. Properties such as reflection‚ refraction‚ interference and diffraction is identified in this study. Mirrors being specifically used as an optical instrument‚ gathers light and forms images‚ and is therefore the most common apparatus used in observing the porperties light particels and waves have. Similarly‚ we see
