A paradigm shift is underway in the field of quantitative liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis thanks to the arrival of recent high-resolution mass spectrometers (HRMS). The capability of HRMS to perform sensitive and reliable quantific ...
The efficiency of wastewater ozonation for the abatement of three nitrogen-containing pharmaceuticals, two antihistamine drugs, cetirizine (CTR) and fexofenadine (FXF), and the diuretic drug, hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ), was investigated. Species-specific s ...
Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical technique, which has become invaluable across a wide range of scientific fields, such as "omics" sciences (e.g., proteomics), doping control and forensic sciences, drug development, environmental analysis, geologi ...
Coupling of motion of the ion clouds with close m/z values is a well-established phenomenon for ion-trapping mass analyzers. In Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry it is known as ion coalescence. Recently, ion coalescence was demons ...
Nowadays, among the instrumentation park of mass spectrometry, Fourier transform mass spectrometers (FTMS), including ion cyclotron resonance (ICR) and Orbitrap FTMS, provide the highest analytical performance for accurate measurements and mass resolution. ...
Interest in microthrusters has grown significantly in the last two decades for possible applications in small satellites and deep space missions. This thesis is motivated by the need of experimental setup for characterization of microthrusters. In the firs ...
The measurement of the plasma isotopic composition is necessary in future burning plasma devices such as ITER and DEMO as a tool for optimizing the DT fusion performance. This paper reports on the results of experiments performed on the JET tokamak where T ...
This paper presents the development of a compact energy harvesting configuration to convert low frequency, mechanical oscillations into usable electrical energy using AFM-like MEMS piezoelectric cantilevers coupled to a rotating gear. In this approach, one ...
