The five major components of the monomeric haemoglobin from Glycera dibranchiata were separated and characterized by absorption spectroscopy, isoelectric focusing, azide-binding affinities and nitrosyl autoreduction kinetics. The differences found among the components are discussed in terms of haem-pocket variations. In addition, the Fourier-transform i.r. spectra of pooled monomeric haemoglobin carbonyl (HbmCO) and the major component carbonyl are reported. The c.d. spectra of the carbonyl and azide derivatives of the five components are compared and found to be similar. The c.d. spectra of myoglobin(II) carbonyl [Mb(II)CO] and of apomyoglobin (apoMb) reconstituted with a symmetric synthetic iron porphyrin carbonyl, meso-tetra-(p-carboxyphenyl)porphinatoiron(II) carbonyl [TCPPFe(II)CO], are compared with the c.d. spectra of pooled HbmCO and its TCPPFe(II)CO analogue. HbmTCPPFe(II)CO shows a negative Soret c.d. band whereas MbTCPPFe(II)CO produces both a negative and a positive Soret c.d. band. Displacement of the symmetric porphyrin by 8-anilinonaphthalene-1-sulphonate and the resulting fluorescence emission are reported.

A method for the least-squares rigid-body refinement of a general electron density model is described. The present formulation is different from a previously reported one in the computation of the derivatives of the calculated Fourier coefficients, which are derived analytically here. This, together with a judicious choice of the Fourier transform search arrays, makes the procedure extremely fast and sufficiently accurate. Although originally designed simply to optimize the values of the positional parameters obtained by Patterson search techniques, the method proved to be extremely efficient as an aid for evaluation of the correctness of potential molecular-replacement solutions.

We study here a generalization of the time-fractional relativistic diffusion equation based on the application of Caputo fractional derivatives of a function with respect to another function. We find the Fourier transform of the fundamental solution and discuss the probabilistic meaning of the results obtained in relation to the time-scaled fractional relativistic stable process. We briefly consider also the application of fractional derivatives of a function with respect to another function in order to generalize fractional Riesz-Bessel equations, suggesting their stochastic meaning.

Temporal windowing is a valuable process, which can help us to focus on a specific event in a seismogram. However, applying the time window is difficult outside the time domain. We suggest a windowing method which is applicable in the Laplace-Fourier domain. The window function we adopt is defined as a product of a gain function and an exponential damping function. The Fourier transform of a seismogram windowed by this function is equivalent to the partial derivative of the Laplace-Fourier domain wavefield with respect to the complex damping constant. Therefore, we can obtain a windowed seismogram using the partial derivatives of the Laplace-Fourier domain wavefield. We exploit the time-windowed wavefield, which is modeled directly in the Laplace-Fourier domain, to reconstruct subsurface velocity model by waveform inversion in the Laplace-Fourier domain. We present the windowed seismograms by introducing an inverse Laplace-Fourier transform technique and demonstrate the effect of temporal windowing in a synthetic Laplace-Fourier domain waveform inversion example.

It is well known that Sobolev′s Lemma on the continuity of functions possessing L2 distributional derivatives of sufficiently high order is a simple consequence of elementary properties of the Fourier transform in L2 (e.g. [1, p. 174]). (In fact this statement remains true if 2 is replaced by p, 1 ≤ p ≤ 2). In this note we show that imbedding theorems of the type Wm, p ⊂Lq can also be obtained using Fourier transforms and an elementary lemma which reduces the cases p > 2 to the case p = 2. The simplicity of this approach is obtained at the expense of a slight loss of generality in the imbedding theorem.

The focused signal obtained by the time-reversal or the cross-correlation techniques of ultrasonic guided waves in plates changes when the medium is subject to strain, which can be used to monitor the medium strain level. In this paper, the sensitivity to strain of cross-correlated signals is enhanced by a post-processing filtering procedure aiming to preserve only strain-sensitive spectrum components. Two different strategies were adopted, based on the phase of either the Fourier transform or the short-time Fourier transform. Both use prior knowledge of the system impulse response at some strain level. The technique was evaluated in an aluminum plate, effectively providing up to twice higher sensitivity to strain. The sensitivity increase depends on a phase threshold parameter used in the filtering process. Its performance was assessed based on the sensitivity gain, the loss of energy concentration capability, and the value of the foreknown strain. Signals synthesized with the time–frequency representation, through the short-time Fourier transform, provided a better tradeoff between sensitivity gain and loss of energy concentration.
