Silver halide sensitized gelatin (SHSG) is an interesting technique for the production of holographic optical elements. It combines the high sensitivity of photographic emulsions with the well-known low scattering and high diffraction efficiency corresponding to dichromated gelatin. In this paper…

Oxidizing agents are powerful activators of factors responsible for the transcriptional activation of cytokine-encoding genes involved in tissue injury. In this study we show evidence that STAT3 is a transcription factor whose activity is modulated by H2O2 in human lymphocytes,…

This paper analyzes how public administration may improve the service it offers to citizens through a suitable organizational culture; for this purpose, it starts by studying the specific features of the culture of public administration. In this respect, it analyzes…

The electrochemical oxidation of serine and alanine was performed at Pt(100) and Pt(110) electrodes and analysed by means of FTIR spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The open circuit adsorption of both amino acids was also investigated. The oxidation of serine gives…

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Fourier transform infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS) have been combined to analyse the oxidation of methylamine and ethylamine on platinum single crystal electrodes in an acidic medium. The oxidation of both amines on Pt(hkl) electrodes gives rise…

The irreversible adsorption of methylamine at platinum single-crystal electrodes has been studied by a combination of electrochemical and in situ spectroscopic techniques. From purely electrochemical data, it has been stated that the adsorption of CH3NH2 molecules results in significant alteration…

The electroreflectance (ER) technique has been applied to the study of a Pt(111) electrode in different acidic and alkaline electrolytes. The variation in the normalised potential derivative of the reflectance signal, 1/R(dR/dE) is observed in sulphuric and perchloric acid media…

In this work, we have applied the fractional Fourier transform to obtain the Fresnel diffraction patterns in a theoretical eye. The FRT approach to Fresnel diffraction is easily implemented in a Gullstrand-Emsley theoretical eye, and it allows us to obtain…

In this work we have studied the influence of the gaze stabilizing movements of the eye on the quality of the retinal image of the human eye obtained by double pass methods. The results obtained agree with the expected differences…

Optical densities before bleaching and final Lin curves of planewave phase holograms recorded in Agfa—Gevaert 8E75HD emulsions were measured for various combinations of developers (AAC, Pyrogallol and Catechol) and bleaching agents (R-9 and EDTA). To characterize the processing, the square…
