Angewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 43, October 23, 2023., 2023 Raman spectroscopy is a great analysis tool but the spectra are sometimes difficult to interpret due to the occurrence of spectral artefacts. This paper dives into the details of many spurious signals and spectral artefacts that occur in Raman spectra, explains their origin, and provides the tools to identify and avoid them.

Gender and Artistic Creativity: The Perspectives and Experiences of Eminent Female Visual Artists
The Journal of Creative Behavior, Volume 57, Issue 4, Page 622-649, December 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT The historically male‐dominated discourse encompassing artistic creativity has often failed to acknowledge the voices and contributions of women. Female artists continue to face barriers in terms of accessing opportunities, attaining positions of prominence, and earning potential, in comparison with their male counterparts.

The Journal of Creative Behavior, Volume 56, Issue 3, Page 414-431, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Artistic creativity has long been associated with physical and psychological suffering. This phenomenon has also been the subject of empirical research. The anguished “artistic genius” stereotype is ubiquitous, and there is evidence to suggest that artists may have heightened susceptibility to psychopathology.

Raman studies on zoisite and tanzanite for gemmological applications
Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 550-562, March 2022., 2022 Raw zoisite and cut tanzanite samples were systematically analysed by Raman spectroscopy. Orientational effects were described to explain spectral variability. Portable and laboratory instruments with different lasers were tested to differentiate photoluminescence contributions and to evaluate the effectiveness of mobile devices for mounted tanzanite ...

Microstructure Characterization of High Explosives by Wavelet Transform
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 The key macro properties of high explosives including sensitivity to shock, the possibility of initiation, and the subsequent chemical reaction are known to be controlled by processes occurring at their microstructure level. However, there is a lack of an easy, effective, and accurate method to quantify the microstructure, termed as fabric, of high ...
