Abstract Infrared photoreflectance (PR) spectra of In(Ga,Al)As/GaAs metamorphic heterostructures have been obtained using a novel photomodulation FTIR spectroscopy technique. An analysis of the PR spectra features allowed us to estimate the critical point energies corresponding to the direct interband transitions in various regions of the In(Ga,Al)As heterostructures, and distinguish the PR signals originating from Fabry-Perot interference. Observation of Franz-Keldysh oscillations originating from the InAlAs virtual substrate and an InGaAs waveguide layer has enabled determination of the built-in electric field intensities within the heterostructures. The obtained results open up possibilities for contactless control of free carrier concentration in In(Ga,Al)As/GaAs metamorphic heterostructures developed for growth of emitters of mid-IR spectral range.

Gentiana rigescens Franch (Gentianaceae) is a famous medicinal plant for treatments of rheumatism, convulsion, and jaundice. Comprehensive investigation of different parts and cultivation years of this plant has not yet been conducted. This study presents the quantitative and qualitative characterization of iridoid glycosides from G. rigescens performed by HPLC and FTIR spectroscopy techniques. The accumulations of loganic acid, swertiamarin, gentiopicroside, and sweroside were determined. Results indicated that their content and distribution in different parts and cultivation years exhibit great variations. Gentiopicroside was identified as the most abundant compound among iridoid glycosides and its highest level was observed in the root of 2-year-old plant. With respect to qualitative variation of metabolic profile, the 1800–800 cm−1 band of FTIR spectra successfully discriminated different parts and cultivation years with the aid of PLS-DA. In addition, combined with PLSR, the feasibility of FTIR spectroscopy for determination of gentiopicroside was investigated by selecting characteristic wavelengths (1800–800 cm−1), which presented a good performance with a residual predictive deviation (RPD) of 3.646. Our results suggested that HPLC and FTIR techniques can complement each other and could be simultaneously applied for comparing and analyzing different parts and cultivation years of G. rigescens.

The technique of Z-contrast in STEM offers the possibility to determine the local concentration of macromolecules like lipids, proteins or DNA. Contrast formation depends on the atomic composition of the particular structure. In the case of DNA, its phosphorous content discriminates it from other biological macromolecules. In our studies, sections of E. coli, the dinoflagellate Amphidinium carterae and Euglena spec. cells were used which were obtained by cryofixation followed by freeze-substitution into acetone with 3% glutaraldehyde. The samples were then embedded either in Lowicryl HM20 at low temperature or in Epon at high temperature. Sections were coated on both sides with 30Å carbon.The DF- and the inelastic image have been recorded simultaneously with a Cryo-STEM. This Cryo-STEM is equipped with a highly dispersive Electron Energy Loss Spectrometer. With this instrument pure Z-contrast can be achieved either with a Filtered DF-image divided by the inelastic image or, as is used in this paper, by dividing the conventional DF-image by an inelastic image which has been recorded with an inelastic detector whose response is dependent on the total energy loss of the inelastically scattered electrons.

Corrosion of reinforcement is an important durability concern for the structures exposed to coastal regions. Since corrosion of reinforcement involves long periods of time, impressed current technique is usually used to accelerate the corrosion of reinforcement in laboratories. Characterization of impressed current technique was the main focus of this research,which involved determination of optimum chloride content and minimum immersion time of specimens for which the application of Faraday’s law could be efficient. To obtain optimum chloride content, the electrolytes in the corrosion cell were prepared similar to that of concrete pore solutions. Concrete prisms of 200 mm by 200 mm by 300 mm were used to determine the minimum immersion time for saturation. It was found that the optimum chloride content was 35 gm/L and the minimum immersion time for saturation was 140 hours. Accounting the results, a modified expression based on Faraday’s law was proposed to calculate weight loss due to corrosion. Journal of Engineering Science 11(1), 2020, 93-99

Eternal return is the paradox that accounts for the interplay between difference and repetition, a dynamic at the heart of Deleuze's philosophy, and Blanchot's approach to this paradox, even and especially through what it elides, further illuminates it. Deleuze draws on Blanchot's characterisations of difference, forgetting, and the unlivable to depict the ‘sense’ produced via eternal return, which, for Blanchot, is where repetition implicates or ‘carries’ pure difference. However, for Deleuze, difference and the unlivable are also developed by the living repetition or ‘contraction’ of habit, which results in his distinctive characterization of ‘force’, ‘levity’, and sense in eternal return.
