Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide reduced (NADH) is a natural UV filter of certain bird lens
In this work, we for the first time report the identification of UV filters in the bird eye lens. We found that lenses of some raptors (black kite, common buzzard) and waterfowl (birds from Podicipedidae family) contain unusually high levels of reduced ...

Non-contrast quantitative study of brain perfusion changes in multiple sclerosis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Non-contrast magnetic resonance perfusion can identify areas of cerebral perfusion changes in patients with multiple sclerosis, even in the absence of focal lesions [1]. This technique offers several advantages, including non-invasiveness [2]

Kinetic Studies of Antioxidant Properties of Ovothiol A
Ovothiol A (OSH) is one of the strongest natural antioxidants. So far, its presence was found in tissues of marine invertebrates, algae and fish. Due to very low pKa value of the SH group, under physiological conditions, this compound is almost entirely ...

Stability of ZIF-8 Nanoparticles in Most Common Cell Culture Media
Zeolite imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) is a promising platform for drug delivery, and information regarding the stability of ZIF-8 nanoparticles in cell culture media is essential for proper interpretation of in vitro experimental results. In this work,

Finite quantum tomography via semidefinite programming [PDF]
Using the the convex semidefinite programming method and superoperator formalism we obtain the finite quantum tomography of some mixed quantum states such as: qudit tomography, N-qubit tomography, phase tomography and coherent spin state tomography, where that obtained results are in agreement with those of References \cite{schack,Pegg,Barnett,Buzek ...

Universal quantum data compression via gentle tomography [PDF]
Quantum state tomography--the practice of estimating a quantum state by performing measurements on it--is useful in a variety of contexts. We introduce "gentle tomography" as a version of tomography that preserves the measured quantum data. As an application of gentle tomography, we describe a simple polynomial-time method for universal source coding.
