Correlation function profile analysis of polydisperse, macromolecular solutions and colloidal suspensions
Benjamin Chu, James R. Ford PhD, and H S. Dhadwal
Chapter 15 of Methods in Enzymology Volume 117: Enzyme Structure Part J; edited by C.H.W. Hirs, Serge N. Timashef.
Chapter summary:
This chapter presents the detailed descriptions of five methods of obtaining information about the characteristic linewidth distribution function G(F) from measured photocount autocorrelation functions, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The cumulants and nonlinear double exponential approaches require no a priori information about G(F), but are severely limited in the form of the distribution functions they can adequately represents. Both the methods discussed in the chapter are useful in providing starting estimates for the other techniques. The linear multiexponential and histogram approaches with singular value decomposition, and the regularized inversion, address the ill conditioning and may therefore be capable of more detailed description of G(F). The singular value decomposition methods requires a value for the range of G(F) in order to set up the model, are not constrained to physically reasonable distributions, and requires an interactive rank reduction stop to achieve a meaningful solution. The results of the histogram and multiexponential singular value decomposition and regularization techniques are illustrated in the chapter.

Correlation Function Profile Analysis in Laser Light Scattering. III. An Iterative Procedure
James R. Ford PhD and Benjamin Chu
Chapter in Photon Correlation Techniques in Fluid Mechanics: Proceedings of the 5th International Conference at Kiel-Damp, Fed. Rep. of Germany, May 23–26, 1982: edited by Erich O. Schulz-DuBois
Chapter Abstract:
In photoelectron correlation function profile analysis, the inversion of the Laplace transform ∣∣g(l)(τ)∣∣=∫0∞G(Γ)e−ΓτdΓ (1) to obtain the normalized linewidth distribution function G(Γ) from the net electric field correlation function g(l)(τ) is essentially an unresolved ill-conditioned problem, where Γ and τ are, respectively, the characteristic linewidth and the delay time. In practice, g(l)(τ) contains noise and the integral has upper (b) and lower (a) bounds. Consequently, in order to remove the ill-conditioning, we need to have estimates of both the signal-to-noise ratio and the width, in terms of the support ratio γ(≡ b/a), of the linewidth distribution function. However, asg(l)(τ) depends upon the delay time range of our experiment, we now encounter a problem whereby our experimental conditions and the results we hope to obtain are interactive. Then, the success of a laser light scattering experiment depends upon (1) a proper choice of experimental conditions, as well as (2) appropriate inversion of the measured g(l)(τ) to obtain G(Γ). Thirdly, further analysis of G (Γ) is often required to obtain the desired information, such as molecular weight distribution, internal motions, etc. These three requirements are highly interdependent and the experimenter must be aware of the uncertainties introduced at each step. In this article, we propose an iterative procedure that tries to meet the above requirements.
About the book:
Photon correlation is a kind of spectroscopy designed to identify optical frequency shifts and line-broadening effects in the range of many MHz down to a few Hz. The optical intensity is measured in terms of single photon detection events which result in current pulses at the output of photomulti plier tubes. This signal is processed in real time in a special-purpose paral lel processor known as a correlator. The resulting photon correlation func tion, a function in the time domain, contains the desired spectral informa tion, which may be extracted by a suitable algorithm. Due to the non-intrusive nature and the sound theoretical basis of photon correlation, the phenomena under study are not disturbed, and the parameters in question can be precisely evaluated. For these reasons photon correlation has become a valuable and in many instances indispensable technique in two distinct fields. One of these is velocimetry in fluid flow. This includes hydro- and aerodynamic processes in liquids, gases, or flames where the velo city field may be stationary, time periodic, or turbulent, and may range from micrometers per second for motion inside biological cells to one kilometer per second for supersonic flow. The other major field is stochastic particle propagation due to Brownian motion.

Light Scattering Studies of the Internal Structure of Emulsion Polymer Particles
James R. Ford PhD
Chapter 17 of Emulsion Polymers and Emulsion Polymerization; edited by David R. Bassett and Alvin E. Hamielec.
Chapter abstract:
Wide angle light scattering is used as the principal probe to examine the core-shell structure proposed for certain acrylic acid acrylate ester copolymer latexes. Additional techniques were sedimentation and photon correlation spectroscopy. The work represents an application of core-shell light scattering theory to polymer latex suspensions and addresses the separate identification of light scattering by dust, latex particles and low molecular weight solutes. Core-Shell Theory and Model The exact electromagnetic scattering theory of the concentric shell model was first solved by Aden and Kerker (1) and shortly thereafter by Güttler (2). The problem has been extensively studied both theoretically and experimentally for aerosols by Kerker and co-workers and is reviewed in Kerker's book (3). The aerosol system had a core of relative refractive index m1=2.105 and a shell of m2=1.482 corresponding to silver chloride coated with linolenic acid. The results indicated that for a smooth variation in the refractive index.

Samuel Hopkins and the New Divinity Movement: Calvinism, the Congregational Ministry, and Reform in New England between the Great Awakenings
Joseph A. Conforti
Samuel Hopkins was the closest friend and disciple of the man generally considered to be the greatest religious thinker America has produced—Jonathan Edwards. Hopkins was also a founder and leading spokesman of the New Divinity Movement, a major religious movement in New England congregationalism from 1740 to 1800.The author here combines biographical detail with a balanced and scholarly assessment of the historical and theological significance of this influential Calvinist thinker.

Voice and Audience: The Emotional World of the Cantigas de Amigo
Kathleen M. Ashley PhD
Chapter in Vox Feminae: Studies in Medieval Woman's Song.
It is the artistic use of the female voice (as role, persona, or rhetorical stance) in particular lyrical traditions or by particular poets, that is of interest here. Woman's songs are found in all parts and periods of medieval Europe; the study of medieval woman's song is primarily the study of the image of a voice. This is not an attempt to completely cover the field but to offer an introduction and guide to those who are not familiar with woman's song, and a stimulation to those who are.

Wide Angle Light Scattering Investigation of the Internal Structure of Polymer Latexes
R L. Rowell, James R. Ford PhD, J W. Parsons, and D R. Bassett
Chapter 2 of Polymer Colloids II; edited by Robert M. Fitch.
Chapter abstract:
A new apparatus has been developed for the measurement of wide-angle and low-angle scattering from colloidal suspensions. The in strument employs an argon ion laser source, single photon counting detection, data acquisition by minicomputer and has an easily accessible angular resolution of 0.6°. The accuracy of the light scattering apparatus along with the reliability of the data-inversion procedure has been tested by comparison of measurements on a standard polystyrene latex by four independent methods on the same sample as well as comparison with numerous reports in the literature. An improvement of the inversion procedure of Rowell and Levit has been used in a double blind analysis of a control latex with no shell structure and the subject latex of pH-dependent shell structure. Both control and subject latex were analyzed using both homogeneous sphere theory and concentric sphere theory. The results conclusively established the existence of a concentric-shell structured latex and were in agreement with an independent study of the system by sedimentation methods, which is reported elsewhere in this book.
