The trans-cis isomerization of an excited molecule converts light energy into mechanical motion, which interacts cooperatively with its surroundings. To understand such a photodynamic process in solids, we investigated the internal twisting motion of 1,1'-diethyl-2,2'-cyanine iodide (DCI) in a series

Submicrometer diameter, light emitting fibers of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) doped with pseudoisocyanine (1,1'-diethyl-2,2'-cyanine bromide, PIC) dye were prepared by electrospinning. A horizontal setup was employed with a stationary collector consisting of two parallel-positioned metal strips separated by a void gap.

In addition to exerting actions via mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors, corticosteroids also act by inhibiting uptake(2), a high-capacity monoamine transport system originally described in peripheral tissues. Recent studies have demonstrated that uptake(2) transporters are expressed in the brain and play
