Fluorescent Whitening Masterbatch is a type of additive used in the plastic industry to improve the whiteness and brightness of plastic products. It is also known as Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs).

"A fine example of this emerged in January of this year, with release of a study by University of Western Ontario neuroscientist Daniel Ansari and Harvard's Aaron Berkowitz, who studies music cognition. They put Dartmouth music majors and nonmusicians in an fMRI scanner, giving participants a one-handed fiber-optic keyboard to play melodies on. Sometimes melodies were rehearsed; other times they were creatively improvised. During improvisation, the highly trained music majors used their brains in a way the nonmusicians could not: they deactivated their right-temporoparietal junction. Normally, the r-TPJ reads incoming stimuli, sorting the stream for relevance. By turning that off, the musicians blocked out all distraction. They hit an extra gear of concentration, allowing them to work with the notes and create music spontaneously."

Optical molecular imaging is a powerful tool in drug development, offering unique capabilities for visualizing and quantifying biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels. This non-invasive imaging technique uses light to detect and measure the presence of specific molecules, cells, or biological events in living organisms. 1. Target Identification and Validation Biomarker Discovery: Optical imaging can be used to identify and validate biomarkers that are indicative of disease states or therapeutic responses. Fluorescent and bioluminescent probes can highlight specific molecular targets, helping researchers understand their role in disease progression.

The game works by showing you a series of geometries that need to be adjusted a little bit to make them right. A square highlights the point that needs to be moved or adjusted. Use the mouse to drag the blue square or arrowhead where you feel it is 'right'. Once you let go of the mouse, the computer evaluates your move, so don't let up on the mouse button until you are sure. The 'correct' geometry is also shown in green, so you can see where you went wrong. You will be presented with each challenge three times. The table to the right shows how you did on each challenge each time.

View the Milky Way at 10 million light years from Earth. Then move through space towards the Earth until you reach a tall oak tree. Then move from the actual leaf into a microscopic world.

Micro-CT and optical molecular imaging are powerful tools in cardiovascular research, each offering unique capabilities that enhance our understanding of cardiovascular diseases, development, and treatment. Here are some key applications of these imaging modalities in cardiovascular research: 1. Micro-CT Imaging Vascular Morphology and Anatomy 3D Visualization: Micro-CT provides high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the vascular system, allowing detailed visualization of blood vessels, including small capillaries and complex vascular networks.
