Abstract

An electromagnetic valve for use in exercise rebreathing studies is described. This valve enables the investigator to connect a rebreathing system immediately after the onset of inspiration even at high breathing frequencies. The rapid switching causes minimal leakage; the rebreathing bag can be washed out and refilled without disconnection during exercise testing. For one year this valve has been used in measurements of functional residual capacity and diffusing capacity during exercise in volunteers as well as in patients.

Surface enhanced Raman optical activity of molecules on orientationally averaged substrates: theory of electromagnetic effects.

We present a model for electromagnetic enhancements in surface enhanced Raman optical activity (SEROA) spectroscopy. The model extends previous treatments of SEROA to substrates, such as metal nanoparticles in solution, that are orientationally averaged with respect to the laboratory frame. Our theoretical treatment combines analytical expressions for unenhanced Raman optical activity with molecular polarizability tensors that are dressed by the substrate's electromagnetic enhancements. We evaluate enhancements from model substrates to determine preliminary scaling laws and selection rules for SEROA. We find that dipolar substrates enhance Raman optical activity (ROA) scattering less than Raman scattering. Evanescent gradient contributions to orientationally averaged ROA scale to first or higher orders in the gradient of the incident plane-wave field. These evanescent gradient contributions may be large for substrates with quadrupolar responses to the plane-wave field gradient. Some substrates may also show a ROA contribution that depends only on the molecular electric dipole-electric dipole polarizability. These conclusions are illustrated via numerical calculations of surface enhanced Raman and ROA spectra from (R)-(-)-bromochlorofluoromethane on various model substrates.

A simple and accurate method for quantification of magnetosomes in magnetotactic bacteria by common spectrophotometer.

A simple apparatus for measuring the magnetism of magnetotactic bacteria was developed with a common laboratory spectrophotometer, which was based on measuring the change in light scattering resulting from cell alignment in a magnetic field. A multiple coils were built around the cuvette holder of the spectrophotometer to compensate geomagnetic field and to generate two mutually perpendicular magnetic fields. In addition, we defined a novel magnetism parameter, R(mag), by modifying the definition of C(mag) to a normalized parameter with the culture absorbance obtained without application of magnetic field. The number of magnetosomes in each cell was determined by transmission electron microscopy to assess the relationship between the two magnetism parameters and the distribution of magnetosomes in the cells. We found that both R(mag) and C(mag) were linearly correlated rather with the percentage of magnetosome-containing bacteria than with the average magnetosome numbers, and R(mag) exhibited a better linearity than C(mag) with respect to the percentage of magnetosome-containing bacteria.

Symmetry breaking in individual plasmonic nanoparticles.

The plasmon resonances of a concentric metallic nanoshell arise from the hybridization of primitive plasmon modes of the same angular momentum on its inner and outer surfaces. For a nanoshell with an offset core, the reduction in symmetry relaxes these selection rules, allowing for an admixture of dipolar components in all plasmon modes of the particle. This metallodielectric nanostructure with reduced symmetry exhibits a core offset-dependent multipeaked spectrum, seen in single-particle spectroscopic measurements, and exhibits significantly larger local-field enhancements on its external surface than the equivalent concentric spherical nanostructure.
