This paper builds on a collaborative pilot project Critical Multilingual Language Awareness (CMLA) in linguistically diverse Preparatory Class with migrant adolescents Sweden. Importantly, the approach involved Study Mentors (MSMs), whose role normally is to provide scaffolding strongest language of recently arrived students facilitate learning instruction. Previous research has shown that MSMs...

Please direct correspondence to James W. Jorgenson at [email protected]. Ultrahigh-pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) is a technique that is experiencing continued growth due to the benefits in separation power and speed of analysis over traditional HPLC. We attempt here to give an overview of some of the advances that have occurred in UHPLC since 2003, from the standpoint of both fund...

Ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) systems combined with state-of-the-art mass spectrometers have pushed the limit of deep proteome sequencing to new heights making it possible to identify thousands of proteins in a single LC-MS experiment within a few hours. The recently released EASY-spray technology allows one to implement nano-UHPLC with straightforwardness. In this work we i...

Zhengtian pills (ZTPs) are traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) which have been commonly used to treat headaches. Volatile components of ZTPs extracted by ethyl acetate with an ultrasonic method were analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Twenty-two components were identified, accounting for 78.884% of the total components of volatile oil. The three main volatile components inc...

Pharmaceutical analysis based on chromatographic separation is an important part of studies aimed at developing routine quality analysis of drugs. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is one of the main analytical techniques recommended for drug analysis. Although it meets many criteria vital for analysis, it is time-consuming and uses a relatively high amount of organic solvents compa...

We thank Robins et al. (1) for their thoughtful commentary on our article (2). Before responding, we wish to point out that they altered our notation slightly, using m rather than j to refer to the baseline time point. Robins et al. distinguish between two types of historyadjusted marginal structural models (HA-MSMs), those that consider an outcome at a fixed time point (‘‘group 1,’’ or those w...

BACKGROUND Dating apps play a major role in connecting men who are interested in meeting other men for sex. Besides finding a partner, these tools are also exploited for other activities such as encouraging people to get involved in the habit of illicit drug consumption (substance use). METHODS This study evaluated the overall usage of dating apps among Thai men who have sex with men (MSMs), ...

Markov state models (MSMs) have been widely used to analyze computer simulations of various biomolecular systems. They can capture conformational transitions much slower than an average or maximal length of a single molecular dynamics (MD) trajectory from the set of trajectories used to build the MSM. A rule of thumb claiming that the slowest implicit time scale captured by an MSM should be com...

The potential of ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC/MS) and ultrahigh-performance supercritical fluid chromatography (UHPSFC) coupled to negative-ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) for the analysis of 46 oxylipins and 2 fatty acid standards is compared in terms of their chromatographic resolution with the emphasis on distinguishing isobaric ...
