There are well over 500 registered pesticides worldwide for use in agricultural regions and new agrochemicals are introduced to the marketplace continuously. This chapter deals with the chemical analysis methods for the main pesticide chemical classes that are most frequently analyzed with gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to mass spectrometry (MS). GC amenable pesti...

the aim of this study was to determine the monthly dtr mass load of amphetamine-type compounds in poland as well as an investigation of cyclical behaviour by using time series analysis and especially trends analysis.amphetamine, methamphetamine and mdma (ecstasy) were detected in wastewater samples collected from the main wastewater treatment plant in the city of poznan using liquid chromatogra...

the chemical components in the decoctions of chinese herbal medicines are not always the same as those in the crude herbs because of the insolubility or instability of some compounds. in this work, a high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc) coupled with electrospray ionization (esi) tandem mass spectrometry method was developed to explore dynamic variation patterns of aconitum alkaloids in...

high performance liquid chromatography (hplc) with diode array detection (dad) and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (esi/ms/ms) was used to analyze the main components in the methanol extract of fructus aurantii (fa) and the metabolites in rat biological samples after oral administration of the methanol extract of fa. there were 31 constituents identified in the extract of fa in...

for the first time, a multi-residue methodfor simultaneous determination of 41lc-amenable pesticides in rice, belonging to different chemical classes has been developed in iran by lc-ms/ms. the pesticides were analyzed simultaneously in a single run using positive electrospray ionization with multiple reaction monitoring (mrm) after extraction with slightly modified quechers method. the calibra...

Multi-stream automatic speech recognition (MSASR) has been confirmed to boost the recognition performance in noisy conditions. In this system, the generation and the fusion of the streams are the essential parts and need to be designed in such a way to reduce the effect of noise on the final decision. This paper shows how to improve the performance of the MS-ASR by targeting two questions; (1) ...
