Abstract

Polarized light that is reflected or transmitted through chiral specimens can be used to detect and identify biological and chemical materials including human tissue. The determination of the silent footprints of the chiral properties of the biological materials on scattered polarized light is the basis for these investigations. It is of primary importance to identify which combinations of the elements of the Mueller matrix for reflected or for transmitted light can be used to determine the optical activity of the biochemical materials. The optical activity of chiral materials is characterized by optical rotation and circular dichroism. The explicit analytical dependence of these specific elements of the Mueller matrix, upon the angles of incidence and scatter, upon the wavelength and upon the type of chirality has the potential to provide experimentalists with guidance in determining the optimum use of optical polarimetric scatterometers.

A new algorithm-the generalised singular value decomposition (GSVD)-is used in the field of identification and fault detection and localisation. By using the GSVD a simultaneous factorisation of two matrices A and B is possible. Therefore, a state space realisation of a structure can be established

Several methods have been described for the detection and quantification of polygalacturonase (PG) and pectin lyase (PL) activities. The most frequently used tests are the Nelson method using copper(II) and an arsenomolybdate reagent to detect PG activity, and the colorimetric method using thiobarbi

We describe a method for the detection of isoforms of several glycolytic enzymes by activity staining after native PAGE. The staining is based on coupled enzyme assays carried out on the gel after electrophoresis and is linked to the disappearance of NADH, which is visualized by fluorescence. This m
