As described above, successful MALDI sample preparation involves creating inti­ mate contact between the matrix (which may consist of a few different molecules) and the analyte. The experiment requires each of the matrix roles to be completed to obtain a usable mass spectrum. To demonstrate the importance of the matrix roles, Figures 6.7 and 6.8 show two examples where a specific role of the ma...

Automated carbon analyzers often are configured to provide estimates of both total organic carbon (TOC) and nonpurgeable organic carbon (NPOC). We show there can be an overestimation of total carbon in the presence of moderate to large quantities of dissolved inorganic carbon. This leads to overestimates of TOC, which is measured as the difference between total carbon and inorganic carbon. Wate...

Aim and Objective: To compare and evaluate the effect of ultraviolet (UV) stabilizers (UV absorbers [UVA] and hindered amine light stabilizers [HALS]) on the color change of a commonly used silicone elastomer subjected to aging by three different methods. Materials and Methodology: Four groups of 30 samples each were studied; Group A-Control, Group B-Silicone + UVA (Chimassorb 81), Group C-Sili...

Torsade de points (TdP), a life-threatening arrhythmia that can increase the risk of sudden cardiac death, is associated with drug-induced QT-interval prolongation on electrocardiogram (ECG). While many modern ECG machines provide automated measurements QT-interval, these QT values are usually correct only for noise-free normal sinus rhythm, in which T-wave morphology well defined. As QT-prolon...

Abstract Background Geographic differences and background therapy have not been explored in the global VICTORIA trial, which enrolled high-risk patients with recent worsening heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods results Among 5050 5 pre-specified geographic regions, 34% were from Eastern Europe, 18% Western 23% Asia Pacific, 14% Latin South America, 11% North America (Table ...

We report spectroscopic and interferometric observations of the high-proper motion double-lined binary system HD 9939, with an orbital period of approximately 25 days. By combining our radial-velocity and visibility measurements we estimate the system physical orbit and derive dynamical masses for the components of MA = 1.072 ± 0.014 M⊙ and MB = 0.8383 ± 0.0081 M⊙; fractional errors of 1.3% and...

We monitored the chemical and isotopic compositions of wet depositions, at the Pyramid International Laboratory (5050 ma.s.l.), and surrounding surface waters, in the Khumbu basin, to understand precipitation chemistry and to obtain insights regarding ecosystem responses to atmospheric inputs. The major cations in the precipitation were NH4(+) and Ca(2+), whereas the main anion was HCO3(-), whi...
