  2. Tuplet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuplet

    The most common tuplet [9] is the triplet (German Triole, French triolet, Italian terzina or tripletta, Spanish tresillo).Whereas normally two quarter notes (crotchets) are the same duration as a half note (minim), three triplet quarter notes have that same duration, so the duration of a triplet quarter note is 2 ⁄ 3 the duration of a standard quarter note.

  3. Non-photochemical quenching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-photochemical_quenching

    Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) is a mechanism employed by plants and algae to protect themselves from the adverse effects of high light intensity.It involves the quenching of singlet excited state chlorophylls (Chl) via enhanced internal conversion to the ground state (non-radiative decay), thus harmlessly dissipating excess excitation energy as heat through molecular vibrations.

  4. Intersystem crossing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersystem_crossing

    The radiative decay from an excited triplet state back to a singlet state is known as phosphorescence. Since a transition in spin multiplicity occurs, phosphorescence is a manifestation of intersystem crossing. The time scale of intersystem crossing is on the order of 10 −8 to 10 −3 s, one of the slowest forms of relaxation. [3]

    The triplet consists of three states with spin components +1, 0 and –1 along the direction of the total orbital angular momentum, which is also 1 as indicated by the letter P. The total angular momentum quantum number J can vary from L+S = 2 to L–S = 0 in integer steps, so that J = 2, 1 or 0.

    In biological organisms, amino acids appear almost exclusively in the left-handed form and sugars in the right-handed form. Homochirality is an obvious characteristic of life on Earth, yet extraterrestrial samples contain largely racemic compounds. [ 7 ]

  7. Singlet oxygen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singlet_oxygen

    The broad horizontal lines labelled π and π* each represent two molecular orbitals (for filling by up to 4 electrons in total). The three states only differ in the occupancy and spin states of electrons in the two degenerate π* antibonding orbitals. The 1 Δ g singlet state is 7882.4 cm −1 above the triplet 3 Σ −

  8. Reading frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_frame

    An open reading frame (ORF) is a reading frame that has the potential to be transcribed into RNA and translated into protein. It requires a continuous sequence of DNA which may include a start codon, through a subsequent region which has a length that is a multiple of 3 nucleotides, to a stop codon in the same reading frame.

    Figure 2: Pseudoscalar mesons of spin-0 form a nonet Figure 3: Vector mesons of spin-1 form a nonet. The Eightfold Way classification is named after the following fact: If we take three flavors of quarks, then the quarks lie in the fundamental representation, 3 (called the triplet) of flavor SU(3).
