2D COS of Temperature-Dependent Raman Spectra of Amorphous, Nonoriented Polyethylene Terephthalate to Separate Molecular Conformational Changes from True Crystallization
Fran Adar
Because of the structural use of polymers, it is important to understand the origin of their strength, elongation to break, elasticity, flexibility, and so on. It is in the very low frequency region (the so called "terahertz" range) where it is believed that the real indicators for crystallinity appear.

Calibration Transfer Chemometrics, Part II: A Review of the Subject
Jerome Workman Jr. and Howard Mark
Carboxylates are made by reacting carboxylic acids with strong bases such as inorganic hydroxides. Carboxylates contain two unique carbon–oxygen "bond and half" linkages that coordinate with a metal ion to give two strong infrared peaks, which make them easy to see.

Exploring the Applicability of Quantitative Models Based on NIR Reflectance Spectroscopy of Plant Samples
Yuqing Yang, Li Ma, Guorong Du, Junhui Li, and Yanjun Ma
The establishment of quantitative models based on the near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic analysis of plant samples plays an important role in improving both the scope of the models and the accuracy of prediction. This technique could provide a new method for tobacco quality management and provide a new discriminant method for other agricultural products.

Single-Cell ICP-MS Analysis: Quantifying the Metal Concentration of Unicellular Organisms at the Cellular Level
Ruth Merrifield, Lauren Amable, and Chady Stephan
Single-cell ICP-MS can accurately quantify the metal concentrations within individual cells, providing new information about the mean metal content and the variation within a cell population. This method is shown to be a vital tool for assessing the specific uptake of metals by ovarian cancer cells and fresh water algae.
