Direct observation of resonant energy transfer in lanthanide complexes from multidisciplinary perspectives by Chen, Xuebo

“…However, in special case incorrect arguments and formulae were often employed by ignoring energy resonance conditions and selection rules of state-to-state transition, especially for the sensitive intramolecular EnT of lanthanide complexes bearing a uniform donor-acceptor distance. Herein, we proposed an innovative model of energy degeneracy crossing controlled EnT, which can be experimentally confirmed by a bi-exponential decay using the time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. …”

Identification of FGF receptor-binding peptides for cancer gene therapy by Maruta, F, Parker, AL, Fisher, KD, Hallissey, MT, Ismail, T, Rowlands, DC, Chandler, LA, Kerr, DJ, Seymour, LW

“…The consensus motif MXXP was iterated after four to five rounds and the peptide MQLPLAT was studied in depth. Phage bearing MQLPLAT showed high levels of binding to FGF receptor positive cells, with over 90% of phage bound being eluted competitively by adding free FGF2. …”

Linear A libation tables : a semitic connection explored by Eu Min, Niki Cassandra, Perono Cacciafoco, Francesco, Cavallaro, Francesco Paolo

“…Unlike the Linear B language (Mycenaean Greek), Minoan, the language hidden behind Linear A and still undeciphered, bears no apparent similarity to Greek, and any ‘translation’ of Linear A based provisionally on Linear B phonetic values has not produced any tangible result. …”

Secure image encryption based on an ideal new nonlinear discrete dynamical system by Lin, M. Rongming, Ng, Teng Yong

“…Extensive numerical experiment results have revealed that the proposed image encryption algorithm offers advantages of unlimited key space and high-level security, since those problematic periodic windows are no longer present within the key space, and it is extremely robust against known-plain-text attack, since the chaotic sequence generated bears no correlation whatsoever due to the folding effect of modulo operation. …”
