Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction01:07

Electron Microscope Tomography and Single-particle Reconstruction

2.8K
Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used to determine the 3D structure of biological samples with the help of techniques such as electron microscope tomography and single-particle reconstruction. While single-particle reconstruction can examine macromolecules and macromolecular complexes in vitro conditions only, tomography permits the study of cell components or small cells in vivo.
Electron Tomography
Electron tomography can be performed either in TEM or STEM (scanning transmission...

Coefficient of Correlation01:12

Coefficient of Correlation

8.5K
The correlation coefficient, r, developed by Karl Pearson in the early 1900s, is numerical and provides a measure of strength and direction of the linear association between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y.
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the...

Confidence Coefficient01:24

Confidence Coefficient

10.5K
The confidence coefficient is also known as the confidence level or degree of confidence. It is the percent expression for the probability, 1-α, that the confidence interval contains the true population parameter assuming that the confidence interval is obtained after sufficient unbiased sampling; for example, if the CL = 90%, then in 90 out of 100 samples the interval estimate will enclose the true population parameter. Here α is the area under the curve, distributed equally under...

Coefficient of Variation01:10

Coefficient of Variation

8.2K
The coefficient of variation measures the dispersion of the data points or distribution around the mean. Using the coefficient of variation, we can compare two data series with drastically different means or different units of measurement. The coefficient of variation for a sample and a population is expressed as a percentage of the ratio of standard deviation to the mean.
The coefficient of variation is a practical statistical tool in finance. It allows investors to assess the volatility or...

Subatomic Particles03:37

Subatomic Particles

112.4K
Dalton was only partially correct about the particles that make up matter. All matter is composed of atoms, and atoms are composed of three smaller subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. These three particles account for the mass and the charge of an atom.

Factors Affecting Activity Coefficient01:17

Factors Affecting Activity Coefficient

1.5K
The extended Debye-Hückel equation indicates that the activity coefficient of an ion in an aqueous solution at 25°C depends on three partially interdependent properties: the ionic strength of the solution, the charge of the ion, and the ion size. 
The activity coefficient value for an ion is close to one when the solution has almost zero ionic strength, i.e., when the solution shows close to ideal behavior. As the ionic strength of the solution increases from 0 to 0.1 mol/L, a...

Area of Science:

  • Atmospheric Chemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Aerosol Science

Background:

  • Submicron particles (PM1) significantly degrade visibility in urban China.
  • Existing U.S. IMPROVE algorithms are unsuitable for PM1 extinction estimation.
  • A specific algorithm for PM1 extinction is urgently needed due to routine online measurements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore mass scattering efficiencies (MSE) of major PM1 species.
  • To develop and validate a PM1 extinction estimation algorithm for urban China.
  • To provide accurate formulas for ambient PM1 dry scattering apportionment.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted three-month in-situ measurements of PM1 species.
  • Investigated MSE variations of ammonium sulfate, nitrate, and organic matter.
  • Derived and validated a PM1 dry scattering coefficient reconstruction algorithm.

Main Results:

  • MSEs of ammonium sulfate and nitrate stabilize with mass accumulation.
  • Organic matter MSE remains stable around 5.5 m²/g with significant variation.
  • The derived algorithm showed good correlation (R² > 0.9) with measured dry scattering coefficients.

Conclusions:

  • The developed algorithm accurately predicts PM1 dry scattering coefficients based on chemical composition.
  • This study offers insights into MSE variations across a wide mass range.
  • The findings are crucial for improving visibility impact assessments in urban China.
