Wavelength modulation overcomes obstacles to in-situ and in-vivo use -- results published in Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging
Amsterdam, NL, 19 February 2013 Raman spectroscopy has enabled incredible advances in numerous scientific fields and is a powerful tool for tissue classification and disease recognition, although there have been considerable challenges to using the method in a clinical setting. Scientists have now demonstrated the advantages of wavelength-modulated Raman spectroscopy, opening the door to wider biomedical and clinical applications such as real-time assessment of tissues during surgery. This study is published in Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging.
The inelastic scattering of light from any sample is called the Raman effect, named for the Nobel prize-winner C.V. Raman. It yields a molecular fingerprint related to the intrinsic composition of the sample. With the advent of lasers for excitation, this analytical technique has been applied in many disciplines from mineral investigations to protein structure determination and single cell studies. The technique enables cancerous lesions, which are accompanied by changes in chemical composition compared to normal tissue, to be detected as a vibrational spectroscopic fingerprint. However, there are considerable challenges to using the method in a clinical setting because factors such as ambient light, background fluorescence, and 'etaloning' (a phenomenon that degrades the performance of thinned, back-illuminated charge-coupled devices) can hinder the interpretation of images. Pre-processing the data is prone to introduce artefacts and seriously hamper a classification.
Scientists from St. Andrews (UK) and Jena (Germany) have now demonstrated that wavelength-modulated Raman spectroscopy, an alternative to standard Raman spectroscopy with monochromatic excitation, overcomes these key problems. In this study they describe how to record Raman signals against a high auto-fluorescence background by studying liver tissue and record spectra of Paracetamol tablets in ambient light.
Corresponding author Christoph Krafft, PhD, of the Institute of Photonic Technology, Jena, Germany explains: 'The principle of our implementation of wavelength-modulated Raman spectroscopy is that fluorescence emission, ambient light, and system transmission function do not significantly vary, whereas the Raman signals do vary upon multiple wavelength excitation with small wavelength shifts. In turn this leads us to 'cleanly' extract the Raman signature even in the presence of such factors. In the current work, we developed a hardware-based approach to suppress confounding factors in Raman spectra that requires a minimum of pre-processing and offers further unsurpassed advantages."
Editor-in-Chief of Biomedical Spectroscopy and Imaging, Parvez Haris, CChem, FRSC, FRSPH, adds: "This work represents a significant step beyond current Raman microscopy that breaks completely new ground. Raman analysis for biomedicine is at a crucial juncture where there is worldwide recognition that it is on the verge of potential acceptance by the wider community and clinical practice if key issues, such as the ones the authors have raised, can be overcome.
"The straightforward nature of the technique means that biologists and researchers at the life sciences interface can benefit immediately from the advantages of the novel method," he concludes.

A statement issued by Apple on Tuesday reveals that "a limited number" of computers within the Cupertino-based company were infected by malware as part of an attack by hackers.
"The malware was employed in an attack against Apple and other companies, and was spread through a website for software developers," the statement explains. "We identified a small number of systems within Apple that were infected and isolated them from our network. There is no evidence that any data left Apple. We are working closely with law enforcement to find the source of the malware."
The malware took advantage of a vulnerability in the Java plug-in for browsers. Ironically enough, since OS X Lion, Macs have been shipping without Java installed (and OS X disables Java if it is unused for 35 days).
"To protect Mac users that have installed Java," read Apple's statement," we are releasing an updated Java malware removal tool that will check Mac systems and remove this malware if found."
Apple's description of the security breach echoes that of Facebook, which revealed on Friday that that several employee computers were infected with malware thanks to a similar-sounding Java exploit.

Social media marketing involves adopting various strategies, and techniques with the aim of gaining website traffic or some attention through the use of popular social media sites.
How It Works
The core of social marketing is creating content that attract attention or arouses curiosity in the internet visitors. The attention usually results to interest in the product or service been offered and continued sharing of the included information. The final result is that the shared message resonates all within the network, and finally seems to have been shared from a trusted third party source, instead of an attempt by the actual company to see a brand.
Most companies have resorted to social media to sell ideas, products and services, and build brand awareness. The information is freely available and effectively shared as people interact. These serves to increase customer service support and general marketing campaigns quite inexpensively.
How to Integrate Social Media in Business Marketing
After sending out paper ads, business cards, set up a fully working website and attractive billboards, modern corporations are taking to social media to attract more traffic. The common social media in use today include.
Facebook
Facebook, when used religiously and with discipline, offers one of the most effective avenues to build a brand. This is because of the potential reach of the market; Facebook had 1.01 billion users as of September 2012. The initial step is to set up an aptly named Facebook account then use it effectively. It is however recommended that the corporation seek SEO assistance to set up and maximize the age for maximum effectiveness. It is however important to note that, unlike a personal Facebook account, business account is professional, both in content and appearance.
Twitter
Twitter is another great forum to market a business. It also requires consulting an SEO company for maximum impact. It offers a fertile ground to share brief but fresh updates about your business, services and products offered. It is also one of the simplest and effective ways to improve customer service provision. This is due to ease of use, simple user interaction interface and real time interaction. However, ensure that personal posts are kept clear of the account.
Foursquare
Foursquare, a location based networking site, allows users to log in and check into their exact locations on their smart phones. It allows businesses to create pages or claims on a venue. Through the various posts and check in, a business is able to offer discounts and offers to loyal customers. In addition, footfalls into a business are increased through shared interests and preferences.
Other social platforms to use include Tumblr, Flickr, YouTube, MySpace, Reddit, LinkedIn and others. The key purpose is to reach as many potential clients as possible. If however, you feel that you lack the capacity and knowhow to implement this, it is highly recommended that you seek the services of a reputable seo and social marketing company to handle it.
Benefits of Social Media Marketing
Branding is faster and more effective when you use social media marketing. It hopes to keep the company name and their services in the minds of potential clients, and at a very affordable rate. It offers a consistency in reminding clients that other marketing tools and techniques cannot achieve.
Saving on advertising, marketing and expenses
It offer a platform for real-time customer interaction and support
Offers an avenue for lead generation
Easy integration of the different social networks for maximum coverage
Grand Junction, Colo. (KKCO) ? Monday was President's Day, and there are those who wanted to help make a very public display while celebrating the holiday.
For many who live in the Redlands celebrating President's Day by displaying our nation's flag has become a tradition. The Redlands Lions Club offers a flag service for several holidays throughout the year including Presiden't Day.
They put out American flags in front of their customer's homes and say the tradition is a way to display patriotism for our country. The club puts out the flags for 9 holidays each year for a donation of $30. "To drive down the streets and see the American flags being portrayed and demonstrated to the world that we are proud of what we have and what this country is about. The Lions Club uses this as a fundraiser but yet it also provides a show of support of patriotism to the United States," says David Mcilnay, who is with the Lions Club.
Club members started putting theflags up this morning at 7 and are taking them down that same night. They put flags out for about 600 customers.
