In this paper we propose a new approach to using reflectance spectrometry in connection with the Kramers-Kronig analysis for the determination of the complex refractive index of biological cells. Applying this procedure, the real and imaginary parts of the refractive index (refractive index and extinction coefficient) can be simultaneously determined. The accuracy of this procedure in the determination of the refractive index and extinction coefficient

Cytogenetic study was accomplished in order to investigate the radiation impact on the embryos of Triticum aestivum L. (bread wheat). VARIAN CLINAC 2100SC radiotherapy device was used to irradiate wheat caryopses with X-ray doses of 22.4 Gy, 33.6 Gy, 44.8 Gy, 56 Gy, 67.2 Gy. Before the irradiation, wheat caryopses were let to germinate in INCUCELL room in controlled environmental conditions. Radioprotective action of ethanol extracts from Hypericum

Experimental investigation focused on electromagnetic pollution influence on fungi degrading wood is presented in this paper. 970 MHz low power microwaves were used to irradiate Phanerochaete chrysosporum cells combining two exposure times and two specific absorption rates –experimentally determined by the scattering parameter method. Total protein content estimation and electrophoretic fractions assay have evidenced diminished biosynthesis with

Saccadic eye movements of normal subject were assessed through semi-quantitative analysis algorithms based on linear and non-linear test application in order to highlight the dynamics type characterizing saccadic neural system behavior. These movements were recorded during simple visually-guided saccade test and respectively, cognitive load ones – involving button pressing for certain decisions. Following the application of specific computational
