Heterocorrelation Using Polarized Raman Spectra in the Characterization of Polymers
Fran Adar
Spectral changes revealed by two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy can be used to interpret structural changes in polymers determined by processing conditions, so that materials can be rationally engineered for particular applications with known mechanical requirements.

Pesky Passwords?
R.D. McDowall
The password paradox states that simple passwords are simple to remember but easy to break, but complex passwords that are difficult to hack are also difficult to remember. Is there a better way?

Characterization of Glitter Cosmetic Particles Using FT-IR Spectroscopy
Kandyss Najjar and Candice M. Bridge
Glitter particles from cosmetics may transfer during personal assaults, and thus glitter may be useful as a forensic tool. In this study, glitter samples were analyzed using ATR–FT-IR in an attempt to develop a characterization scheme to aid in the identification of these particles.
