Propagation of a weak probe optical beam through a three-level medium pumped with a microwave strong beam is numerically modeled. Three various schemes of transitions under the conditions providing the amplification of the probe field without inversion are taken to calculate the atomic polarization, which enters the paraxial wave equations. Diffraction and self-action ofbeams due to nonlinear absorption and refraction are properly taken into account. These effects together with linear absorption and refraction form a complex distribution of gain across the beams. As a result the amplified beam acquires ring transverse patterns and slight asymmetry in the frequency characteristics.","PeriodicalId":205850,"journal":{"name":"International School on Spectroscopy of Molecules and Crystals","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133347148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the structural significance in the interacalation process of the phenanthridinium chromophore is well established, the role ofits side chains is still under discussion. The comparative analysis of complexation with DNA of phenanthridinium dyes - ethidium bormide (EB) and its two photosensitive analogues: 3-amino-8-azido-5-ethyl-6-phenyl phenanthridinium bormide (EMB) and 3,80diazido-5-ethyl-6-phenyl phenanthridinium chloride (EDC) has shown that they have different affinities of binding with nucleotide sequences in aqueous salt solution. In order to test the role of azido-groups in side chains of EB chromophore on the drug-DNA affinity, the self-association of EB and its two azido-analogues have been studied in this work by one- and two-dimensional 1H-NMR spectrosocpy. Self-association of the aromatic drug molecuels has been studied using concentration and temperature dependences of proton chemical shifts. The equilibrium reaction constants, cooperativity parameters, the limiting values of proton chemical shifts and thermodynamical parameters-enthalpy and entropy of drug self-association have been determined for all the molecular system studied.","PeriodicalId":205850,"journal":{"name":"International School on Spectroscopy of Molecules and Crystals","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130750785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In case when PVCN film is spin coated on the ITO electrodes the surface potential changes under irradiation in both PVCN aligning film and ITO coating. The measured increment of the surface potential changes under irradiation in both PVCN aligning film and ITO coating. The measured increment of the surface potential Δφs=400 mV is mainly cuased by the photoconductivity of ITO electrodes, whereas the part caused by PVCN substrate is at least one order of magnitude lower. The relaxation time of Δφs for the ITO-PVCN coatings was estimated to be about 1 h. The induced potential may substantially modify dielectric properties of the aligned LC layers and its anchoring characteristics when the freshly irradiated substrates are used. On the contrary, this influence is weak when the substrates are irradiated several hours before the use for LC alignment.","PeriodicalId":205850,"journal":{"name":"International School on Spectroscopy of Molecules and Crystals","volume":"134 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132905568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fluorescence spectra can depend on excitation wavelength, and the excited-state energy transfer, if present, fails at the 'red' excitation edge. These Red-Edge effects are observed due to the existence of excited-state distribution of fluorophores on their interaction energy with the environment and the slow rate of dielectric relaxations. In these conditions the site-selection can be provided by variation of energy of illuminating light quanta, and the behavior of selected species can be followed as a function of time and other variables. These observations foudn extensive application in different areas of research: colloid and polymer science, photophysics and molecular biophysics. Site-selection effects were discovered for electron-transfer and proton-transfer reactions if they depend on the dynamics of the environment. In this report we concentrate on fluroescence of 3-hydroxyflavone derivatives as the probes that exhibit the excited-state proton transfer reaction. The studies in polymer films, phospholipid membranes and in complexes with proteins allow characterizing the static and dynamic disorder in these systems.","PeriodicalId":205850,"journal":{"name":"International School on Spectroscopy of Molecules and Crystals","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128190093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MTE models are neuroparadigm of non-iterative type, which is a generalization of Hopfield and Hamming networks. The adaptive multi-layer networks, auto-associative and hetero-associative memory of 2-D images of high order can be built on the basis of MTEMs. The capacity of such networks in comparison with capacity of Hopfield networks is increased. The results of modeling show that the number of neurons in neural network MTEMs is 10-20 thousand and more. The problems of trailing of such networks, different modifications, including networks with double adaptive-equivalent autoweighing of weights, organization of computing process in different modes of network are discussed. The basic components of networks: matrix-tensor 'equivalentors' and variants of their realization on the basis of liquid-crystal structures and optical multipliers with spatial and time integration are considered. The efficiency of proposed optical neural networks on the basis of MTEMs is evaluated for both variants on the level of 109 connections per second. Modified optical connections are realized as liquid-crystal television screens.","PeriodicalId":205850,"journal":{"name":"International School on Spectroscopy of Molecules and Crystals","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117047432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
