Background Analysis of pollen grains reveals valuable information on biology, ecology, forensics, climate change, insect migration, food sources and aeroallergens. Vibrational (infrared and Raman) spectroscopies offer ...

Microbiological source tracking (MST) for food industry is a rapid growing area of research and technology development. In this paper, a new library-independent approach for MST is presented. It is based on a high-throughput ...

FTIR and Raman spectroscopy, and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry are emerging technologies for multidimensional phenotyping of microorganisms. While FTIR and Raman both represent a full metabolic fingerprint, MALDI spectra ...

Background: Oleaginous yeasts are considered as a potential lipid source for food, feed and biofuel production. In order to make the yeast-based lipid production environmentally and economically sustainable, there is a ...

The photogenerated current of solar cells can be enhanced by light management with surface structures. For solar cells with optically thin absorbing layers, it is especially important to take advantage of this fact through ...

During recent years, ray tracing has frequently been used to study the absorption characteristics of structured solar cells. However, wave properties such as absorption enhancement due to resonances in optically thin solar ...

There is a profound duality between rays and waves. In fact, 70 years ago, in the context of quantum mechanics, Feynman showed that rays, properly equipped with phases and correctly summed, provide exact solutions of the ...
