Jeweled Couture Dress-2
With fast fashion taking control of the fashion staircase that’s always demanding and ever changing I wanted to do something that was unique yet at the same time commercially viable. My Idea of jeweled couture thrives on the concept of eveningwear dresses that come with induced jewelry that is vital component of the dress made out of same fabric as that of the dress
Sustainable Couture
Nature is to nurture and by designing garments that bring us a step closer to the eco friendly and safe environment we contribute towards a sustainable planet and in turn mankind. The Slow Fashion movement is a unified representation of all the sustainable , eco , green , and ethical fashion movements
Power Chic
Fashion is a mode of art created using combinations of forms, patterns and materials. I always use elements and principles of design like rhythm, balance and texture when I create my ensemble. I strongly believe as we move higher in the fashion chain, simplicity blends with exquisite wearable creativity. Fashion designers use subtle hints of styling elements with utmost delicacy
Continuous Diffraction of Molecules and Disordered Molecular Crystals
The diffraction pattern of a single non-periodic compact object, such as a
molecule, is continuous and is proportional to the square modulus of the
Fourier transform of that object. When arrayed in a crystal, the coherent sum
of the continuous diffracted wave-fields from all objects gives rise to strong
Bragg peaks that modulate the single-object transform. Wilson statistics
describe the distribution of continuous diffraction intensities to the same
extent that they apply to Bragg diffraction. The continuous diffraction
obtained from translationally-disordered molecular crystals consists of the
incoherent sum of the wave-fields from the individual rigid units (such as
molecules) in the crystal, which is proportional to the incoherent sum of the
diffraction from the rigid units in each of their crystallographic
orientations. This sum over orientations modifies the statistics in a similar
way that crystal twinning modifies the distribution of Bragg intensities. These
statistics are applied to determine parameters of continuous diffraction such
as its scaling, the beam coherence, and the number of independent wave-fields
or object orientations contributing. Continuous diffraction is generally much
weaker than Bragg diffraction and may be accompanied by a background that far
exceeds the strength of the signal. Instead of just relying upon the smallest
measured intensities to guide the subtraction of the background it is shown how
all measured values can be utilised to estimate the background, noise, and
signal, by employing a modified "noisy Wilson" distribution that explicitly
includes the background. Parameters relating to the background and signal
quantities can be estimated from the moments of the measured intensities. The
analysis method is demonstrated on previously-published continuous diffraction
data measured from imperfect crystals of photosystem II.Comment: 34 pages, 11 figures, 2 appendice
The room temperature crystal structure of a bacterial phytochrome determined by serial femtosecond crystallography
Phytochromes are a family of photoreceptors that control light responses of plants, fungi and bacteria. A sequence of structural changes, which is not yet fully understood, leads to activation of an output domain. Time-resolved serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) can potentially shine light on these conformational changes. Here we report the room temperature crystal structure of the chromophore-binding domains of the Deinococcus radiodurans phytochrome at 2.1 angstrom resolution. The structure was obtained by serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography from microcrystals at an X-ray free electron laser. We find overall good agreement compared to a crystal structure at 1.35 angstrom resolution derived from conventional crystallography at cryogenic temperatures, which we also report here. The thioether linkage between chromophore and protein is subject to positional ambiguity at the synchrotron, but is fully resolved with SFX. The study paves the way for time-resolved structural investigations of the phytochrome photocycle with time-resolved SFX.Peer reviewe
