A novel approach for scalable length Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) in single Processing Element (single PE) architecture has been developed. Scalable length FFT design meets the different lengths requirement of FFT operation in OFDM system [1]. An efficient mechanism that named Interleaved Rotated Data Allocation (IRDA) to replace multiple-port memory with single-port memory has also been propos...

The continuous-flow fast atom bombardment probe performs equally well with or without a high-performance liquid chromatography column producing clean spectra containing little or no background noise. Its function as a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry interface for labile and involatile samples has been illustrated with reference to dansylated amino acids. The versatility of the new probe...

A sodium pump inhibitor has been isolated from human plasma and extensively purified. This material, endogenous digitalislike factor, was examined by a variety of mass spectrometric techniques. A low-resolution fast atom bombardment mass spectrometric analysis of a sample of purified endogenous digitalislike factor revealed a single unique molecular ion in the mass range 100-2,500. The accurate...

FABMS analysis of T-lb peptide before and after one cycle of Edman degradation indicated an unblocked N-terminal Thr residue for this tryptic peptide. In contrast , our data showed a molecular protonated ion, MH + for T- la peptide at 655 mass units (mu) which is 42 mu higher than the MH ion of T- 1b peptide. In addition, T- la peptide was not amenable to one cycle of manual Edman degrada...

Molecular dynamics simulations have been used to model the kiloelectronvolt particle bombardment of organic layers on metal substrates such as occurs in the analytical techniques of secondary ion mass spectrometry and fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. Vignettes of insights gained from the simulations along with comparisons to experimental data are presented in this Account. Topics includ...

Two new phenylethanoid glycosides integrifoliosides A (2) and B (3), along with a known phenylethanoid glycoside alyssonoside (1) and a flavone glucoside chrysoeriol-7-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4) were isolated from the aerial parts of Phlomis integrifolia. The structures of the new compounds were identified as 3,4-dihydroxy-beta-phenylethoxy-O-beta-D-apiofuranosyl-(1 --> 4)-alpha-L-rhamnopyran...

Electron-energy-loss spectra recorded for monolayer amounts of Li adsorbed on Cu~111! show a loss peak associated with Li vibrations perpendicular to the substrate. The loss energy shifts from 38 meV at low coverage to 43 meV at 0.3 ML and remains constant for coverages between 0.3 and 0.5 ML. The loss intensity passes a maximum at a Li coverage of 0.15 ML and gradually decreases such that it i...
