Kato is the collaborative effort of eight laboratories, in which we treat the hierarchy of matter from hadrons to biomolecules with three underlying and interconnected key concepts: interaction, excitation, and heterogeneity. The project consists of experimental research conducted using cutting-edge technologies, including lasers, signal processing and data acquisition, and particle beams at RIKEN RI Beam Factory (RIBF) and RIKEN Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). • Physical and chemical views of matter lead to major discoveries Although this project is based on the physics and chemistry of non-living systems, we constantly keep all types of matter, including living matter, in our mind. The importance of analyzing matter from physical and chemical points of view was demonstrated in the case of DNA. The Watson-Crick model of DNA was developed based on the X-ray diffraction, which is a physical measurement. The key feature of this model is the hydrogen bonding that occurs between DNA base pairs. Watson and Crick learned about hydrogen bonding in the renowned book “The Nature of the Chemical Bond,” written by their competitor, L.

In the analysis of hadron reactions and their propertieds I emphasize similarities to the nuclear many body problem. 1. Introduction The vast majority of nuclear phenomena can be understood using protons and neutrons as elementary constituents and the nonrelativistic interactions among them. On the other hand, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), which is the underlying theory of nuclear forces, describes the relativistic quarks and gluons as the fundamental degrees of freedom.

Available from the National Technical Information Service, U.S. Department of Commerce, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield, Virginia 22161. * Ph.D. thesis ii Abstract This thesis consists of two independent parts; development of Cherenkov Ring Imaging Detector (GRID) system and analysis of high-statistics data of strange meson reactions from the LASS spectrometer. Part I: The CIUD system is devoted to charged particle identification in the SLAC Large Detector (SLD) to study e+e- collisions at ,/Z = mzo. By measuring the angles of emission of the Cherenkov photons inside liquid and gaseous radiators, r/K/p separation will be achieved up to N 30 GeV/c. The signals from CRID are read in three coordinates, one of which is measured by charge-division technique. To obtain a N 1% spatial resolution in the charge- division, low-noise CRID preamplifier prototypes were developed and tested re- sulting in < 1000 electrons noise for an average photoelectron signal with 2 x lo5 gain. To help ensure the long-term stability of CRID operation at high efficiency, a comprehensive monitoring and control system was developed. This system contin- uously monitors and/or controls various operating quantities such as temperatures, pressures, and flows, mixing and purity of the various fluids.

They are typically composed of thousands of atoms or more. The most common macromolecules in biochemistry are biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) and large non–polymeric molecules (such as lipids and macrocycles). Synthetic macromolecules include common plastics and synthetic fibers as well as experimental materials such as carbon nanotubes. Parameters such as FT –IR and Raman vibrational wavelengths and intensities for single crystal Nano polypeptide macromolecule are calculated using density functional theory and were compared with empirical results. The investigation about vibrational spectrum of cycle dimers in crystal with carboxyl groups from each molecule of acid was shown that it leads to create Hydrogen bonds for adjacent molecules. The current study aimed to investigate the possibility of simulating the empirical values. Analysis of vibrational spectrum of Nano polypeptide macromolecule is performed based on theoretical simulation and FT–IR empirical spectrum and Raman empirical spectrum using density functional theory in levels of HF/6–31G*, HF/6–31++G**, MP2/6–31G, MP2/6– 31++G**, BLYP/6–31G, BLYP/6–31++G**, B3LYP/6–31G and B3LYP6–31–HEG**.

  • Okadaic Acid Time-Resolved Absorption and Resonance FT-IR and Raman Biospectroscopy © 2019 Heidari A, Et Al
    InternationalJournal of VIBGYOR Analytical and Bioanalytical Methods Okadaic Acid Time-Resolved Absorption and Resonance FT-IR and Raman Biospectroscopy and Density Functional Theory (DFT) Investigation of Vibronic-Mode Original Article: Open Access Coupling Structure in Vibrational Spectra Analysis Alireza Heidari1,2*, Jennifer Esposito1 and Angela Caissutti1 1Faculty of Chemistry, California South University, USA 2American International Standards Institute, USA Abstract Okadaic acid, C44H68O13, is a toxin produced by several species of dinoflagellates, and is known to accumulate in both marine sponges and shellfish. One of the primary causes of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning, Okadaic acid is a potent inhibitor of specific protein phosphatases and is known to have a variety of negative effects on cells. A polyketide, polyether derivative of a C38 fatty acid, Okadaic acid and other members of its family have shined light upon many biological processes both with respect to dinoflagellate polyketide synthesis as well as the role of protein phosphatases in cell growth. Parameters such as FT -IR and Raman vibrational wavelengths and intensities for single crystal Okadaic Acid are calculated using density functional theory and were compared with empirical results. The investigation about vibrational spectrum of cycle dimers in crystal with carboxyl groups from each molecule of acid was shown that it leads to create Hydrogen bonds for adjacent molecules. The current study aimed to investigate the possibility of simulating the empirical values. Analysis of vibrational spectrum of Okadaic Acid is performed based on theoretical simulation and FT-IR empirical spectrum and Raman empirical spectrum using density functional theory in levels of HF/6-31G*, HF/6-31++G**, MP2/6-31G, MP2/6-31++G**, BLYP/6-31G, BLYP/6-31++G**, B3LYP/6-31G and B3LYP6-31-HEG**.

  • Experimental Techniques in Hadron Spectroscopy
    EPJ Web of Conferences 95, 0012(3 2015) DOI: 10.1051/epjconf/201595003 12 C Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2015 Experimental techniques in hadron spectroscopy P. Gianotti1,a 1INFN, Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, via E. Fermi 40, 00044 Frascati, Italy Abstract. Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction, but the properties of the hadrons cannot be directly calculated from the QCD Lagrangian and alternative approaches are then used. In order to test the different models, precise mea- surements of hadron properties are of extreme importance. This is the main motivation for the hadron spectroscopy experimental program carried out since many years with dif- ferent probes and different detectors. A survey of some recent results in the field is here presented and commented, together with the opportunities offered by the forthcoming experimental programs. 1 Introduction Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) is the theory of strong interaction that binds quarks and gluons to form hadrons. QCD is a non-linear theory that is not analytical. This implies that we are not able to solve the equations that derive from the QCD Lagrangian. At high energies, in order to describe strong interactions, perturbative approaches are successful, but in the low energy domain, to predict the properties of the hadrons, we have to use models. Strong interaction is under study since long time, but recent findings of new and unexpected resonances show that the hadron spectrum is not yet completely understood. This is also underlined by the ongoing discussion on multi-quark states, and other exotic states with gluonic degrees of freedom.
