The characteristic neutral and ionic spectral lines of various elements and molecular signatures of CN violet and C2 Swan band systems were observed. The relative hardness of all drug samples was measured as well. Principal component analysis, a multivariate method, was applied in the data analysis for demarcation purposes of the drug samples. The CN violet and C2 Swan spectral radiances were investigated for evaluation of a possible correlation of the chemical and molecular structures of the pharmaceuticals. Complementary Raman and Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopies were used to record the molecular spectra of the drug samples. The application of the above techniques for drug screening are important for the identification and mitigation of drugs that contain additives that may cause adverse side-effects. Keywords: paracetamol; laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy; cyanide; carbon swan bands; principal component analysis; Raman spectroscopy; Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy 1.

  • Atomic Spectroscopy
    Atomic Spectroscopy Reference Books: 1) Analytical Chemistry by Gary D. Christian 2) Principles of instrumental Analysis by Skoog, Holler, Crouch 3) Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry by Skoog 4) Basic Concepts of analytical Chemistry by S. M. Khopkar We consider two types of optical atomic spectrometric methods that use similar techniques for sample introduction and atomization. The first is atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), which for half a century has been the most widely used method for the determination of single elements in analytical samples. The second is atomic fluorescence spectrometry (AFS), which since the mid-1960s has been studied extensively. By contrast to the absorption method, atomic fluorescence has not gained widespread general use for routine elemental analysis. Thus, although several instrument makers have in recent years begun to offer special- purpose atomic fluorescence spectrometers, the vast majority of instruments are still of the atomic absorption type. Sample Atomization Techniques We first describe the two most common methods of sample atomization encountered in AAS and AFS, flame atomization, and electrothermal atomization. We then turn to three specialized atomization procedures used in both types of spectrometry. Flame Atomization In a flame atomizer, a solution of the sample is nebulized by a flow of gaseous oxidant, mixed with a gaseous fuel, and carried into a flame where atomization occurs. As shown in Figure, a complex set of interconnected processes then occur in the flame. The first step is desolvation, in which the solvent evaporates to produce a finely divided solid molecular aerosol. The aerosol is then volatilized to form gaseous molecules. Dissociation of most of these molecules produces an atomic gas.

The proposal is to calculate the excitation temperature (Texc), electronic temperature (Te) and electron density (ne) for several plasma techniques used in the growth of thin films. Some of these tech- niques include magnetron sputtering and arc discharges. Initially, some fundamental physical principles that support the Optical Emission Spec- troscopy (OES) technique are described; then, some rules to consider dur- ing the spectral analysis to avoid ambiguities are listed. Finally, some of the more frequently used spectroscopic methods for determining the phy- sical properties of plasma are described.

Analysis of observed data of γ Equulei 2. Identification of another bright star and observations of selected star: γ Cygni Both were observed with SONG telescope. SONG SONG • Stellar Observations Network Group • Launched in 2006 • Fully robotic • Aim: Global network of 8 telescopes assuring continous data collection • Scientific goals of SONG are: - study the internal structure and evolution of stars using asteroseismology - to search for and characterize planets with masses comparable to the Earth in orbit around other stars. Telescope is 1m in diameter • Currently building a telescope in China -> located at the Observatorio testing phase del Teide on Tenerife SONG Lucky Imaging It's a technique to remove the smearing effect the atmosphere causes of stars on images. SONG Spectrograph Separates the light into its different colours allowing us to study them individually which can be used to determine the mass, size and chemical composition of stars. Picture shows the output spectrum from this spectrograph.

  • CONSTELLATION EQUULEUS the Little Horse Or the Foal Equuleus Is the Head of a Horse with a Flowing Mane Which the Arabs Called A
    CONSTELLATION EQUULEUS The Little Horse or The Foal Equuleus is the head of a horse with a flowing mane which the Arabs called Al Faras al Awwal, 'the First Horse', in reference to its rising before Pegasus. Equuleus is the second smallest of the modern constellations (after Crux), spanning only 72 square degrees. It is tucked between the head of Pegasus and the dolphin, Delphinus. It is also very faint, having no stars brighter than the fourth magnitude. Its name is Latin for 'little horse', a foal. It was one of the 48 constellations listed by the 2nd century astronomer Ptolemy, and remains one of the 88 modern constellations. The actual inventor is unknown; it may have been Ptolemy himself, or one of his predecessors, such as Hipparchus, the Greek astronomer who lived around 190-120 B.C. Hipparchus mapped the position of 850 stars in the earliest known star chart. His observations of the heavens form the basis of Ptolemy's geocentric cosmology. Ptolemy called the constellation Protomé Hippou, the forepart of a horse, perhaps Ptolemy had in mind the story of Hippe and her daughter Melanippe: Hippe, daughter of Chiron the centaur, one day was seduced by Aeolus, grandson of Deucalion.

When her father came looking for her, Hippe appealed to the gods who changed her into a mare.
