HIGH ENERGY DOUBLE PEAK PULSE LASER INDUCED PLASMA SPECTROSCOPY FOR METAL CHARACTERIZATION USING A PASSIVELY Q-SWITCHED LASER SOURCE AND CCD DETECTOR

High Energy Double Peak Pulse Laser Induced Plasma Spectroscopy for Metal Characterization Using a Passively Q-Switched Laser Source and CCD Detector

Here, the development and testing of a portable double peak pulse laser induced plasma spectroscopy (DPP-LIPS) based on passively Q-switched Nd:YAG (Neodymium-doped Yttrium Aluminum coleman powermate air tool set Garnet) laser excitation is reported.The latter delivered structured laser pulses at a repetition rate of up to 20 Hz, including two ener

Helicobacter pylori in Health and Disease: Its Contribution to Gastrointestinal Disorders and Systemic Metabolic Effects

Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common human infections worldwide and it is estimated that more than half of global population is affected.This microorganism induces oxidative stress in gastric mucosa and causes chronic gastritis, duodenal peptic ulcer, gastric cancer, and as reasonably suspected a number of extragastric diseases [1,2].Our r
