This chapter describes approaches to understanding the physics of the interaction of
polarized beams with natural scenes and to searching for informative and useful polarimetric …

Polarized light scattering was used to determine the size distribution and composition of the
undiluted exhaust particulate stream from a one-cylinder, direct-injection diesel generator …

A 56-year-old man with confirmed sickle-cell trait AS underwent successful triple-vessel
myocardial revascularization with internal mammary artery and vein conduits. Variations in …

The re-equilibration rate of carbon monoxide binding to hemoglobin S polymers is
determined by time-resolved measurements of linear dichroism spectra. Linear dichroism is …

The polarization state of a beam of light is fully described by the four elements of the Stokes
vector. How the Stokes vector is transformed upon scattering is described by the sixteen …

Time-resolved linear dichroism (TRLD) measurements are conducted on gels of sickle cell
hemoglobin following laser photolysis of the carbonyl adduct to monitor religation kinetics to …

The Mueller scattering matrix for sickle cell hemoglobin polymers is calculated using the
coupled-dipole approximation method. The complex polarizability of the fiber is calculated …

Spectro-polarimetric light-scattering, or merging spectral and polarimetric light-scattering
information, is a growing interest in a wide range of scientific fields. Recently, it has been …

Scattering of light is one of major pathways that biological cells interact with optical radiation
in a wide spectral region from ultraviolet to near-infrared. In this region the size parameters …

Measurements and calculations of polarized light scattering are applied to chromosomes.
Calculations of the Mueller matrix, which completely describes how the polarization state of …
