Effective GC-MS procedure for detecting iso-LSD in urine after base-catalyzed conversion to LSD

Effective GC-MS procedure for detecting iso-LSD in urine after base-catalyzed conversion to LSD.

A sensitive method is described to detect isolysergic acid diethylamide (iso-LSD) in urine. The compound was extracted from urine and converted to a C-8 carbanion by sodium ethoxide in ethanol. Protonation of the carbanion by water selectively produced LSD. The conversion of iso-LSD to LSD was almost quantitative (98%). The product was purified by solid-phase fractionation and acid-base separat...

Lsd - Vl98

App © 19 for c obta Abstract Languages used for design activities in CAD software are usually textual languages akin to standard procedural programming languages such as Basic or C++. This creates a discontinuity between the drafting and solid modelling aspects of design, and the programming aspects which are becoming increasingly important as designers attempt to economise on their activities ...

Laboratory for Simulation Develpment - LSD∗

LSD is one of many programming languages designed to develop agent-based models. LSD implements time-driven models expressed in formats equivalent to discrete systems of equations, where each equation computes the value of a generic instance of a variable at a generic time step. LSD models are therefore extremely parsimonious in terms of details that users must provide to the system. When a mod...

LSD: a Line Segment Detector

LSD is a linear-time Line Segment Detector giving subpixel accurate results. It is designed to work on any digital image without parameter tuning. It controls its own number of false detections: on average, one false alarm is allowed per image [1]. The method is based on Burns, Hanson, and Riseman’s method [2], and uses an a contrario validation approach according to Desolneux, Moisan, and More...
