How do you manually zero spectra with baseline spectrum?

Hi does anybody know how zeroing works mathematically? For instance if you have a blank spectrum and a sample.It is not simply subtraction, as far as I understand but I can't find the process. If anybody could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.

Dear Sir,

please read the article found in this link:

A. Jirasek, G. Schulze, M.M.L. Yu, M.W. Blades, and R.F.B. Turner, "Accuracy and Precision of Manual Baseline Determination," Appl. Spectrosc. 58, 1488-1499 (2004)

Perhaps something will be useful for you.

Good luck

If a tumor stops growing for a certain amount of time (hours for example), would the fluid pressure inside decrease?

I would expect less pressure to be generated. Does the cell growth lead to significant amounts of pressure or is it just the speed of the plasma flowing through a tumor? Thanks!
