 In the result of  interaction of  the metabolic processes of the human organism and external factors free radicals are formed  in tissues including hair. An objective assessment of an intensity of this process is possible by means of electronic  paramagnetic resonance’s (EPR) signal and its intensity indices. The purpose of the survey was a comparative evaluation of the EPR spectrum’s specificity of black and brown hair and a study of a photo dynamic in the condition of a treating with blue light. The survey was conducted among young volunteers  of age 17-21  on the base of their informed consent and with adherence of all bioethical requirements established for this type of research. No single person’s hair  involved  in the survey  was treated with chemical dye or active, specific remedy for hair care. This article analyzes data of  young men donors. All measurements were carried out at standard conditions: room temperature (22-240C), humidity - 60-70%, the measurement error - ± 5%. EPR spectrum was determined at the Department of Biophysics,TSU by means of a radio-spectrometer TSR - V. Study  results have determined a uniform EPR spectrum and no difference in the intensity of the photoinduced EPR spectrum that indicates  the equal concentrations of eumelanin in black and brown hair.

The measurement of hemoglobin-nitric oxide (NO) adduct (HbNO) in whole blood by the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method seems relevant for the assessment of systemic NO levels. However, ceruloplasmin and unknown radical species overlap the same magnetic field as that of HbNO. To reveal the EPR spectrum of HbNO, we then introduced the EPR signal subtraction method, which is based on the computer-assisted subtraction of the digitized EPR spectrum of HbNO-depleted blood from that of sample blood using the software. Rats were treated with Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME; 120 mg · kg–1 · day–1) for 1 wk to obtain HbNO-depleted blood. When this method was applied to the analysis of untreated fresh whole blood, the five-coordinate state of HbNO was observed. HbNO concentration in pentobarbital-anesthetized rats was augmented (change in [HbNO] = 1.6–5.5 μM) by infusion of l-arginine (0.2–0.6 g/kg) but not d-arginine. Using this method, we attempted to evaluate the effects of temocapril on HbNO dynamics in an l-NAME-induced rat endothelial dysfunction model. The oral administration of l-NAME for 2 wk induced a serious hypertension, and the HbNO concentration was reduced (change in [HbNO] = 5.7 μM). Coadministration of temocapril dose dependently improved both changes in blood pressure and the systemic HbNO concentration. In this study, we succeeded in measuring the blood HbNO level as an index of NO by the EPR HbNO signal subtraction method. We also demonstrated that temocapril improves abnormalities of NO dynamics in l-NAME-induced endothelial dysfunction rats using the EPR HbNO signal subtraction method.

Regulation of the use of ionizing radiation for treating food products and agricultural raw materials in Russia in 2017 suggests a wide dissemination of radiation technologies in the food industry, but manufacturers of food products processed by ionizing radiation do not indicate on the label the relevant information. Because of this, the identification of the domestic consumer market of food products processed by ionizing radiation will reduce the number of violations of requirements of state standard State standards (GOST) 33800-2016 “Production of food irradiated. General labeling requirements”. To determine whether irradiation of food raw materials and foodstuff, used the method of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), with each of the food products treated by ionizing radiation has its own characteristic EPR spectrum. In this regard, the aim of the research is to identify the dependence of the parameters of the EPR spectrum from meat, fish and poultry treated with ionizing radiation. Samples of bone tissue (SBT) meat, fish and poultry were subjected to radiation treatment with a linear electron accelerator model UELR-10-10С2 with energies up to 10 MeV. Studies of samples were carried out on the portable automated EPR spectrometer brand Labrador Expert X-band. Found that despite treatment samples of bone tissue with the same dose of ionizing radiation (12 kGy), the EPR signal depends on the type of vertebrates, the structure of the tissue sample, and other factors. Bone samples of beef and pork have a higher sensitivity to irradiation. Recorded a steady correlation between increasing the area of the EPR signal parameters: amplitude is of 0.99, the width of the peak signal, respectively 0,979 (the degree of strength of statistical relationships Chedoke very high). Processing of the obtained results of the EPR spectrum provides a high degree of confidence (p≤0.05) to identify how previously non-irradiated and radiation-processed various meats, fish and poultry.

Abstract Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurements have been made for two perpendicular planes in a LiYF4 crystal before and after x-ray irradiation at room temperature. Analysis of the EPR spectrum angular dependence shows the presence of two defects - an impurity ion, which was embedded during the crystal growth process, and an x-ray induced defect with the g-factor of approx. 2.0. Spectral parameters and possible defect models are discussed.

ABSTRACTThe effect of the ion implantation (Fe) on LiNbO3, MgO, and A12O3 crystals is studied using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). EPR measurements on these crystals were performed as a function of fluence at room temperature. The fluence was 1 × 1014 and 1 × 1016 ions/cm2. The unpaired carrier concentration increases with increasing fluence. The photosensitivity of these crystals was determined by observing in situ the effect of the laser illumination on the EPR signal and measuring the decay and the growth of the EPR signal. The EPR signal of Fe3+ was found to decrease in both MgO, and Al2O3; and was found to increase in LiNbO3. This indicated that in case of MgO, and A12O3 Fe3+ will transfer into Fe2+/Fe4+, but in case of LiNbO3 Fe2+/ Fe4+ will transfer into Fe3+; increasing the EPR signal. This was found primary due to some Fe2+ and Fe4+ ions, which is not intentionally doped on the LiNbO3 crystal but exist as a defect on the crystal.

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies of Mn2+ impurity in single crystals of diammonium hexaaqua magnesium(II) sulfate have been carried out at 9.3 GHz (X-band) at room temperature. The EPR spectra exhibit a group of five fine structure transitions. The spin-Hamiltonian parameters were determined. Mn2+ enters the lattice interstitially. The EPR spectrum of a powder sample supports the data obtained by single crystal studies. - PACS number: 76.30

Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) was used to study high-purity semi-insulating 4H-SiC irradiated with 2 MeV electrons at room temperature. The EPR signal of the EI4 defect was found to be dominating in samples irradiated and annealed at ~750°C. Additional large-splitting 29Si hyperfine (hf) lines and also other 13C and 29Si hf structures were observed. Based on the observed hf structures and annealing behaviour, the complex between a negative carbon vacancy-carbon antisite pair (VCCSi–) and a distance positive carbon vacancy ( ) is tentatively proposed as a possible model for the EI4 defect.

AbstractCadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe) is an emerging material for room-temperature x-ray and gamma ray detectors. The identification and control of point defects and charge compensators are currently important issues. Low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopies have been used to characterize point defects in CdZnTe crystals grown by the high-pressure Bridgman technique. Luminescence due to shallow donors, shallow acceptors, and deeper acceptors was monitored for a series of samples. An isotropic EPR signal attributed to shallow hydrogenic donors is observed in all samples, and the concentration of shallow donors has been determined. The nature of the defect centers (impurities, vacancies, vacancy-impurity complexes), and the correlation between defect concentration and device performance is discussed.

Thermally stimulated luminescence (TSL) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies were carried out on gamma-irradiated europium-doped yttrium borate samples in the temperature range 300–600 K. TSL studies showed the presence of two glow peaks, a relatively weaker one at 390 K and an intense one at around 550 K. Room-temperature EPR spectrum of irradiated samples revealed the formation of two hole trapped radicals, namely, BO32− and O2−. Temperature variation studies showed drastic reduction in the EPR signal intensities of these radicals around 390 and 550 K indicating thermal destruction of O2− and BO32− radicals, respectively. The observed TSL emission is caused by the recombination of thermally released holes from O2− and BO32− radical ions with electrons. The energy released in electron-hole recombination process is used for the excitation of Eu3+ ion resulting in TSL glow peaks. TSL emission studies confirmed that Eu3+ acts as luminescent center for both the peaks.
