Psychophysical results from studies in humans have shown that when an auditory signal and noise are presented simultaneously, the threshold for signal detection decreases when the angular separation between the two sound ...

In this project, the potential of nitroxides as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been studied. The difficulties involved in using nitroxides as in vivo MRI contrast agents, such as premature metabolic ...

In this work we combined the ab initio methods, NMR and X-ray crystallography techniques to investigate the qualitative and quantitative relationships between chemical shift and geometry of amino acids in protein. First, ...

Photosystem II (PS II) is a polypeptide complex which operates in series with the cytochrome $b/f$ complex and photosystem I to perform light-driven transport of electrons from H$\sb2$O to NADP and of protons from the ...

This dissertation describes the process of optimizing a Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy (FLIM) system in order to observe the dynamics of enzymes in live cancer cells. The enzyme studied throughout this research ...

The intent of this research was the development and use of parallel instrumentation for the study of the bioenergetics of photosynthesis in in vitro and intact plant systems. To this end, three instruments have been developed ...

A core conductor analysis was applied to the passive relaxation of the transmembrane potential in response to 20 ms pulses of current in luminosity-type and chromaticity-type horizontal cells. The time course of the ...

This thesis aims to demonstrate the usefulness of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in understanding normal human placental and uterine metabolism as well as its application in the study of gestational and gynecological ...

Oxygenic photosynthesis converts light-energy into chemical free energy by reducing NADP$\sp+$ to NADPH and producing ATP. Eukaryotic plants and algae as well as prokaryotic cyanobacteria and prochlorophytes have a similar ...
