RNA-Mediated interference of a cdc25 homolog in Caenorhabditis elegans results in defects in the embryonic cortical membrane, meiosis, and mitosis

Infrared spectra of a carbon dioxide sample enriched with oxygen-17 have been recorded with a resolution of about 0.0025 cm-1 in the region of the laser bands near 10 and 9 μm, using the long path difference Fourier Transform Spectrometer of the LPMA in Paris. The two laser bands of the 16O12C17O and 17O12C18O species have been analyzed for the first time. Line intensities for several isotopic species have been measured in this region and the rotationless transition dipole moments and Herman-Wallis coefficients of the corresponding bands have been reported. In particular intensities, alternation in the spectra of 17O12C17O has been analyzed. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
