In the early days of this technology, there were many who saw the potential of these new instruments for environmental measurements and how this technology could be integrated into emissions and ambient air monitoring for the measurement of flux. However, the monitoring community did not embrace ORS as quickly as anticipated. Several factors contributing to delayed ORS use were: • Cost: The cost of these instruments made it prohibitive to purchase, operate and maintain. • Utility: Since these instruments were perceived as “black boxes.” Many instrument specialists were wary of how they worked and how the instruments generated the values. • Ease of use: Many of the early instruments required a well-trained spectroscopist who would have to spend a large amount of time to setup, operate, collect, validate and verify the data. • Data Utilization: Results from path integrated units were different from point source data which presented challenges for data use and interpretation.

  • Federico Capasso “Physics by Design: Engineering Our Way out of the Thz Gap” Peter H
    6 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON TERAHERTZ SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, VOL. 3, NO. 1, JANUARY 2013 Terahertz Pioneer: Federico Capasso “Physics by Design: Engineering Our Way Out of the THz Gap” Peter H. Siegel, Fellow, IEEE EDERICO CAPASSO1credits his father, an economist F and business man, for nourishing his early interest in science, and his mother for making sure he stuck it out, despite some tough moments. However, he confesses his real attraction to science came from a well read children’s book—Our Friend the Atom [1], which he received at the age of 7, and recalls fondly to this day. I read it myself, but it did not do me nearly as much good as it seems to have done for Federico! Capasso grew up in Rome, Italy, and appropriately studied Latin and Greek in his pre-university days. He recalls that his father wisely insisted that he and his sister become fluent in English at an early age, noting that this would be a more im- portant opportunity builder in later years. In the 1950s and early 1960s, Capasso remembers that for his family of friends at least, physics was the king of sciences in Italy. There was a strong push into nuclear energy, and Italy had a revered first son in En- rico Fermi. When Capasso enrolled at University of Rome in FREDERICO CAPASSO 1969, it was with the intent of becoming a nuclear physicist. The first two years were extremely difficult. University of exams, lack of grade inflation and rigorous course load, had Rome had very high standards—there were at least three faculty Capasso rethinking his career choice after two years.

  • Seebeck Coefficient in Organic Semiconductors
    Seebeck coefficient in organic semiconductors A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deepak Venkateshvaran Fitzwilliam College & Optoelectronics Group, Cavendish Laboratory University of Cambridge February 2014 \The end of education is good character" SRI SATHYA SAI BABA To my parents, Bhanu and Venkatesh, for being there...always Acknowledgements I remain ever grateful to Prof. Henning Sirringhaus for having accepted me into his research group at the Cavendish Laboratory. Henning is an intelligent and composed individual who left me feeling positively enriched after each and every discussion. I received much encouragement and was given complete freedom. I honestly cannot envision a better intellectually stimulating atmosphere compared to the one he created for me. During the last three years, Henning has played a pivotal role in my growth, both personally and professionally and if I ever succeed at being an academic in future, I know just the sort of individual I would like to develop into. Few are aware that I came to Cambridge after having had a rather intense and difficult experience in Germany as a researcher. In my first meeting with Henning, I took off on an unsolicited monologue about why I was so unhappy with my time in Germany. To this he said, \Deepak, now that you are here with us, we will try our best to make the situation better for you". Henning lived up to this word in every possible way. Three years later, I feel reinvented. I feel a constant sense of happiness and contentment in my life together with a renewed sense of confidence in the pursuit of academia.

A Google search will demonstrate nocturne paintings by many other well-known painters throughout history. More recently, with the improvement in plein air gear and portable lights, nocturne painting has become extremely popular. James Abbott McNeill Whistler (1834-1903), Nocturne in Black and Gold, the Falling Rocket, 1875, oil on panel, 23-3/4 x 18-3/8 inches, Detroit Institute of Fine Arts, Gift of Dexter M. Ferry, Jr. 02 I became excited about night paintings after visiting a gallery in Carmel several years ago. The gallery featured historic California artists and was showing a nocturne by Rollo Peters (1862-1928). The painting was leaning against the wall in a dark corner of the gallery, and at first glance it looked almost totally black. To my delight, when placed under the light, a mysterious and surprisingly colorful image emerged. Interestingly, Peters was known as the “poet of the night.” I still study his work for clues about color saturation in the dark.

  • Design of Near-Infrared Fluorescent Bioactive Conjugated Functional Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Optical Detection of Colon Cancer
    International Journal of Nanomedicine Dovepress open access to scientific and medical research Open Access Full Text Article Original RESEARCH Design of near-infrared fluorescent bioactive conjugated functional iron oxide nanoparticles for optical detection of colon cancer Enav Corem-Salkmon Background: Colon cancer is one of the major causes of death in the Western world. Benny Perlstein Early detection significantly improves long-term survival for patients with the disease. Shlomo Margel Near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanoparticles hold great promise as contrast agents for tumor detection. NIR offers several advantages for bioimaging compared with fluorescence in the The Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials, Department visible spectrum, ie, lower autofluorescence of biological tissues, lower absorbance, and of Chemistry, Bar-Ilan University, consequently deeper penetration into biomatrices. Ramat-Gan, Israel Methods and results: NIR fluorescent iron oxide nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution were prepared by nucleation, followed by controlled growth of thin iron oxide films onto cyanine NIR dye conjugated gelatin-iron oxide nuclei. For functionalization, and in order to increase the NIR fluorescence intensity, the NIR fluorescent iron oxide nanoparticles obtained were coated with human serum albumin containing cyanine NIR dye. Leakage of the NIR dye from these nanoparticles into phosphate-buffered saline solution containing 4% albumin was not detected. The work presented here is a feasibility study to test the suitability of iron oxide-human serum albumin NIR fluorescent nanoparticles for optical detection of colon cancer. It demonstrates that encapsulation of NIR fluorescent dye within these nanoparticles significantly reduces photobleaching of the dye. Tumor-targeting ligands, peanut agglutinin and anticarcinoembryonic antigen antibodies (αCEA), were covalently conjugated with the NIR fluorescent iron oxide- human serum albumin nanoparticles via a poly(ethylene glycol) spacer.
