Amino acid precursors from a simulated lower atmosphere of Titan: Experiments of cosmic ray energy source with 13 C- and 18 O-stable isotope probing mass spectrometry [PDF]
The organic haze of aerosols that shrouds the Saturnian moon Titan has previously been studied by both observations and laboratory simulation experiments. Here we report the abiotic formation of amino acid precursors in complex organic molecules during experimental simulation of the environment near Titan's surface with proton irradiation. Pyrolysis of

Generic sample preparation combined with high-resolution liquid chromatography- time-of-flight mass spectrometry for unification of urine screening in doping-control laboratories [PDF]
A unification of doping-control screening procedures of prohibited small molecule substances—including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, ß2-agonists and diuretics—is highly urgent in order to free resources for new classes such as banned proteins ...

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of chronic rheumatic immune disease, and the crucial point of AS treatment is identifying the correct stage of the disease. However, there is a lack of effective diagnostic methods for AS staging.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of fabricating free‐standing carbon paper electrodes by electroplating and galvanic replacement. Nanostructured AgM (M = Au, Pt, Pd) bimetallic catalysts are directly grown on the electrode substrate, which exhibit good performance for glycerol electrolysis, a sustainable approach for the co‐production of green ...

Silicon clusters produced by femtosecond laser ablation: Non-thermal emission and gas-phase condensation [PDF]
Neutral silicon clusters Si_n (up to n = 7) and their cations Si_n+ (up to n = 10) have been produced by femtosecond laser ablation of bulk silicon in vacuum and investigated using time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Two populations of the Si_n+ clusters with different velocity and abundance distributions in the ablation plume have been clearly ...

Isolation of $^{236}$U and $^{239,240}$Pu from seawater samples and its determination by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
In this work we present and evaluate a radiochemical procedure optimised for the analysis of $^{236}$U and $^{239,240}$Pu in seawater samples by Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS). The method is based on Fe(OH)$_3$ co-precipitation of actinides and uses TEVA and UTEVA extraction chromatography resins in a simplified way for the final U and Pu ...
