Job, sorely tried in both flesh and possessions, curses man's fate. It is great poetry. His friends arrive, and rending their garments, dissect Job's guilt before the Lord. Job cries [...]

Conceived on a mattress made of human hair. Gerda. Erika. Maybe Margarete. She doesn't know, no not a thing about it. This kind of knowledge isn't suited to being passed [...]

Reality demands we also state the following: life goes on. It does so at Cannae and Borodino, at Kosovo Polje and in Guernica. There is a gas station in a [...]

Modifications of phenylalanine amino acid after its exposure to near-infrared (NIR) radiation have been investigated using ATRFTIR (Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy). The process of amino acid aggregation alter its exposure to NIR has been observed. A possible mechanism of amino acid dimer formation has been proposed with the help of theoretical calculations of quantum mechanics (MP2 and B3LYP/6-31 G* level) using the GAUSSIAN 03 package. The usefulness of spectroscopy for biomedical engineering is discussed. ATR-FTIR appears to be a powerful tool for measuring tissue damage in aqueous environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
