To simulate the vibrational progression, we obtain the Franck—Condon factors using the two-dimensional array method in ref 64. We consider 1 vibrational quantum v = 0) from the EC stationary point and 21 vibrational quanta (z/ = 0, 1,. .., 20) from the GC stationary point. The Franck— Condon factors are then calculated for every permutation up to 21 quanta over the vibrational modes. It is necessary in order to get all Franck—Condon factors of the EC stationary point with respect to each three alg vibrational state (Figure 6) of the GC to sum to one. One obtains a qualitative agreement between the calculated and the experimental emission profiles (Figure... 

The aim of the Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) is to facilitate the interpretation of the results of the inventory analysis. The result of the inventory analysis is an emission profile for each alternative system. In this study the emission profile is the total of all emissions to air, water and soil from the grave-to-cradle chain for the use of cushion vinyl floor covering, including the up chain processes, like electricity production and the down chain processes, like the incineration and landfill of the waste. Such an emission profile may consist of hundreds of emissions and extractions. In LCA impact assessment the total of interventions (emissions, extractions) of a process chain is evaluated in terms of environmental problems (impact categories). 

The photoemission spectra of the GFP in buffer solution and of the hybrid material GFP/SBA-15, are reported in Figure 4. All samples were excited at 475 nm and show a well resolved photoemission band at 502 nm with a shoulder at 536 nm. The shape of the emission profile for GFP/SBA-15 follows closely that of the GFP in buffer solution, but the intensity of the signal is higher in the case of the hybrid. This result evidences that the photoemission efficiency is enhanced by the protein confinement inside the mesoporous channels. 

In Figure 5, the normalized emission spectra of the two solid hybrid materials, GFP/SBA-15 and GFP/Aerosil , are reported. The shape of the emission profile for GFP/SBA-15 follows closely that of the GFP in buffer solution, whereas the photoemission intensity of GFP/Aerosil is one order of magnitude lower and slightly different in its tale shape (spectra at the actual intensities not reported). This reduction in intensity could be explained by a multilayer arrangement of the protein molecules on the amorphous nanoparticles, which would explain both the difference in emission spectra ("self-quenching effect") and the difference in adsorption amount shown above. 

Thermal radiation emitted by an object can be continuous, discontinuous or, in most cases, a mixture. A continuous radiation profile corresponds to an ideal black body, where only the temperature of the emitting object determines the emission profile. Discontinuous thermal emission spectra are caused by photons emitted during the relaxation of excited vibrational states. Since vibrational states are quantised, this results in emission bands at the wavelengths of the corresponding IR absorption bands. 

In contrast to Ag, these emission profiles are insensitive to variations of the excitation wavelength within the threefold structure of the 2P 2S absorption band. Simultaneous with the photolysis of any of the three 2P - 2S components, one observes gradual bleaching of all lines with concurrent formation of Ci where n =2-5 (34,56). A further intriguing observation concerns the appearance of a weak structured emission near 420 nm for excitations centered on the secondary atomic site band of Cu in all three rare gas films (Figure 4), which has been found from independent studies of the absorption and emission spectra of matrix entrapped CU2 to arise from the A-state of CU2 (34). 

Figure 6 CL emission profile with the time (a) after mixing of reagents, initiation of reaction, entrance and exit from the flow cell (FC) of the chemiluminescent solution (b) and typical peaks recorded after successive injections of the same analyte into the manifold (c).

When a reaction is under investigation to establish possible chemiluminogenic properties, a batch chemiluminometer is preferable to be used (Fig. 11). This system can reveal the emission profile of the reaction and provide useful information about the kinetics of the reaction. It is suitable for reactions of all rates even... 

Fundamental research How systems are not suitable for fundamental CL research, as they do not allow observation of the whole emission profile of a reaction. In addition, in cases of very fast or very slow CL reactions a flow system might lead to wrong conclusions. Therefore, a fast or a slow chemiluminogenic reaction might be missed if the flow system is not well established. 

Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy can be used to measure the binding dynamics of host-guest complexes when the fluorescence quantum yields for the free and bound hosts are different. Analysis of fluorescence correlation spectra depends on the profile for the excitation pulse, which impacts the shape of the emission profile and mechanistic assumptions are made with respect to the diffusion of the various species in solution.58 For each chemical system different assumptions are made. 

Can be translated relatively easily into emission profiles (reducing uncertainty in costs). 

Today, different processes (steam reforming, autothermal reforming, partial oxidation, gasification) are available and commercially mature for hydrogen production from natural gas or coal. These processes would have to be combined with technologies for C02 capture and storage (CCS), to keep the emissions profile low. A power plant that combines electricity and hydrogen production can be more efficient than retrofitted C02 separation systems for conventional power plants. 

Squaraines 17a-17c were encapsulated in these macrocyles to form the corresponding pseudorotaxanes. Squaraine rotaxanes 14 and 15 with a phenylene tetralactam macrocycle have absorption/emission profiles (Table 3) that closely match those of Cy5, whereas squaraine rotaxanes 16 D 17 with an anthrylene macrocycle have a red-shifted absorption/emission that matches that of the homologous cyanine Cy5.5 (Table 4). These rotaxanes should be useful for fluorescence microscopy imaging applications. 

A similar approach for detecting the presence of specific proteins has also been reported by Nilsson and coworkers [26]. In this study, a complex between a calmodulin, a small calcium-binding protein, and the zwitter-ionic polythiophene POWT was used to detect the presence of calcineurin. The interaction between the POWT-camodulin complex and calcineurin changed the emission profile from POWT, and no observable changes were observed upon exposure of the complex human serum albumin, suggesting that the complex could be used for the specific detection of calcineurin. 

The replacement of timber products by nonrenewable materials is an unfortunate development, since it has been repeatedly shown that the use of timber does have associated environmental benefits compared with the use of nonrenewables (e.g. Marcea and Lau, 1992 Hillier and Murphy, 2000 Bowyer etal., 2003 Lippke etal., 2004). Timber has a lower embodied energy content (and hence a more favourable carbon emission profile) compared to most other building materials and can provide other benefits, such as improved thermal properties. It and the products made from it (in common with other renewable materials) can be used as a repository for atmospheric carbon dioxide. Wood is derived from a renewable resource, albeit potentially an exhaustible one unless it is managed correctly. Disposal of wood can be readily achieved with little environmental impact (subject to how the wood has been treated prior to disposal). 

With emission source chemical signatures and corresponding aerosol or rainwater sample measurements PLS can be used Co calculate a chemical element mass balance (CEB). Exact emission profiles for the copper smelter and for a power plant located further upwind were not available for calculation of source contributions to Western Washington rainwater composition. This type of calculation Is more difficult for rainwater Chan for aerosol samples due Co atmospheric gas to particle conversion of sulfur and nitrogen species and due Co variations In scavenging efficiencies among species. Gatz (14) has applied Che CEB to rainwater samples and discussed Che effect of variable solubility on the evaluation of Che soil or road dust factor. 

Plant oils were already used as a fuel by Rudolf Diesel in 1912, but more recent testing revealed that pure oils, even of fully refined quality, do not fit the modern fastrunning diesel engines with their high efficiency and with low emission profile. Methyl esters are the derivatives of choice, simple to produce and come very dose to diesel in their fuel properties (Table 10.1). 

There are slight but acceptable differences in density and viscosity the higher flash point is a beneficial safety feature and the absence of sulfur in plant oils is the reason for the excellent SO emission profile of biodiesel. 

Production of fluorescent LCs by dissolving fluorescent dyes in host materials has been an active area of smdy for many years. This is because it is the simplest method for producing fluorescent LCs and also because the absorption and emission profiles of the dyes can be altered by application of an electric field. Examples of potential applications include polarised organic lasers, but the main problem with the use of fluorescent dyes in guest-host systems is the limited solubility of the... 

In the first attempts to overcome the background problem using decay time, the variation of the fluorescence decay time as a function of wavelength across the entire emission profile for a variety of materials have been used (Measures 1985). For a variety of rocks and minerals, it was proved that this information represents a new kind of signature, the so called fluorescence decay spectrum, that possesses considerable discrimination power, being able to characterize the irradiated material with far superior precision than the normal luminescence spectrum (Fig. 7.2). 

More recently, Duval (15) estimated decay factors for the ambient PAH in Los Angeles using the same data. Following Gordon and co-workers, he assumed that PAH concentrations at a site in downtown Los Angeles were automobile dominated a site near to and downwind from the refineries had both automobile and refinery contributions. Using lead as a tracer for the automobile component at the refinery site, Duval determined the PAH emission profile for the refinery emissions.
