Article Abstract
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a simple nondestructive technique that allows the user to obtain quick and accurate information about the structure of the constituents of wood. Spectra deconvolution is a computational technique, complementary to FTIR analysis, which improves the resolution of overlapped or unobserved bands in the raw spectra. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is an analytical technique useful to determine the ratio of the lignin monomers obtained by the alkaline nitrobenzene oxidation method. Furthermore, lignin content has been commonly determined by wet chemical methods; Klason lignin determination is a quick and accessible method. Here, we detail the procedures for chemical analysis of the wood lignin using these techniques. Additionally, the deconvolution process of FTIR spectra for the determination of the S/G ratio, in lignin isolated by this or other methods, is explained in detail.

This research study investigates the relationship between the structural characteristics, water solubility, and protein digestibility of quinoa proteins (QPs) during fermentation. The fermentation process induces structural modifications in QPs, thereby enhancing their surface properties and functional attributes. Using advanced analytical techniques, such as ultraviolet, fluorescence, and FT-IR spectra, it has been demonstrated that fermented QPs exhibit significant structural changes (P < 0.

In this study, we describe the synthesis and characterization of the mononuclear complexes [ )], [ ], and [ ], where = (2-((2-hydroxybenzylidene)-amino)-phenol). The structural analysis of these complexes was carried out utilizing mass spectrometry, H NMR, C NMR, P NMR, UV-visible, and FT-IR. All three complexes were investigated as corrosion inhibitors for mild steel in 1 M HCl.

For the first time, we examined the catalytic performance of a NiB/SiO catalyst with 10 wt % NiB in model hydrodesulfurization of 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) also together with a competing nitrogen compound, that is, carbazole. The NiB/SiO catalyst (fresh, reduced, and spent) was characterized using the following techniques: N sorption, ICP, XRD, CO chemisorption, XPS, and elemental analysis. The results of XRD, XPS, and elemental analysis indicated the partial decomposition of the NiB phase into metallic nickel (accompanied by boron atoms) and partial sulfidation into NiS species under reaction conditions.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic stilbene derivative found in grapes, red wine, and other plants, possesses anti-cancer properties. Various studies have reported the potential of different nanomaterials to act as radiosensitizers against tumor cells.

Background: Endometriosis diagnosis is challenging due to non-specific symptoms that overlap with other gynaecological conditions. This study proposes a non-invasive Machine Learning (ML) ‒ based urine test using Attenuated Total Reflection Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy for rapid, high-throughput screening.
Methods: A total of 302 symptomatic patients presenting with pelvic pain and MRI referral indications were recruited.
