Monitoring of stable water isotopes (18O and 2H) in precipitation and surface waters in the Mackenzie River basin of northern Canada has created new opportunities for researchers to study the complex hydrology and hydroclimatology of this remote region. A number of prior studies have used stable isotope data to investigate aspects of the hydrological regime of the wetland-dominated terrain near...

It is widely recognized that lead (Pb) affects children's cognitive function, even at relatively low blood lead levels (<10 µg dL(-1)). The determination of the source of Pb in children is essential for effective risk management. The use of multi-collector ICPMS (MC-ICPMS) for isotope ratio measurements of Pb in environmental and biological samples was examined for this purpose. MC-ICPMS with a...

در این پژوهش، برای نخستین بار کشور، جداسازی لیزری ایزوتوپ C13 از راه گسست چندفوتونی ایزوتوپ- گزین مولکول‌های گاز HCl2CF مقیاس آزمایشگاهی به انجام رسید. کار، تپ‌های یک لیزر 2TEA CO کوک‌پذیر که با برش­گر پلاسمایی کوتاه‌سازی شده‌اند، شاریدگی 2J/cm 50 درون اتاقک تابش‌دهی کانونی شدند. تابش‌‌دهی نیز فشار mbar 10-20 نسبت‌های HCl: He2CF برابر 1:5 و 1:10 پر شده بود. نشان داده شد فراوانی فرآورده‌ی 4F2C ک...

Enriched isotopes are widely used in medicine, basic science and energy production, and the need will only grow in the future. The main method for enriching stable isotopes today, the calutron, dates back over eighty years and has an uncertain future, creating an urgent need, especially in nuclear medicine. We report here the experimental realization of a general and e cient method for isotope ...

11 A fast and simple method for authenticating raspberry flavors from food products was developed. The two enantiomers 12 of the compound (E)-α-ionone from raspberry flavor were separated on a chiral gas chromatographic column. Based on 13 the ratio of these two enantiomers the naturalness of a raspberry flavor can be evaluated due to the fact that a natural 14 flavor will consist almost exclus...

The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS), to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2008, is a cosmic ray detector with several subsystems, one of which is a proximity focusing Ring Imaging Čerenkov (RICH) detector. This detector will be equipped with a dual radiator (aerogel+NaF), a lateral conical mirror and a detection plane made of 680 photomultipliers and light guides, enabl...

We use nonlinear beam deflection to separate the bound-electronic and nuclearrotational responses in gas-phase CS2. This allows a direct comparison of the second hyperpolarizability to our liquid CS2 measurements considering local-field effects. OCIS codes: (190.0190) Nonlinear optics, (190.3270) Kerr effect, (190.5650) Raman effect, (350.3250) Isotope separation

We report a method for the chemical purification of Pt from geological materials by ion-exchange chromatography for subsequent Pt stable isotope analysis by multiple-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICPMS) using a 196Pt-198Pt double-spike to correct for instrumental mass bias. Double-spiking of samples was carried out prior to digestion and chemical separation to corre...
