Unusual Regularity in GC Retention of Simple Amino Acid Derivatives

August 8, 2019
Author(s)
Anzor I. Mikaia, Nino G. Todua, Zenkevich G. Igor
Background. Application of simple regularities and the general principles along with direct use of reference retention index data is a useful approach for reliable structure determination of compounds by GC-MS. Objective. Interpretation of anomaly in

Ampoules for Radioactivity Standard Reference Materials

August 6, 2019
Author(s)
Ronald Colle
Standard-sized ampoules for radioactive solution standards have been employed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for nearly the past 70 years. This note briefly summarizes the origins and history of the five different batches of

Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry for the quantitation of steroid hormone profiles in blubber from stranded humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae)

July 30, 2019
Author(s)
Greta Dalle Luche, Susan Bengston Nash, John Kucklick, Fletcher M. Mingramm, Ashley Russell
Marine mammal blubber is known to have quantifiable concentrations of steroid hormones and is increasingly chosen as a matrix for the detection of these reproductive and stress biomarkers. Steroid hormones act through complex cascades, often in concert

Stability of gaseous volatile organic compounds contained in gas cylinders with different internal wall treatments

July 29, 2019
Author(s)
George C. Rhoderick, Christina Cecelski, Walter R. Miller Jr., David Worton, Sergi Moreno, Paul Brewer, Joele Viallon, Faraz Idrees, Philippe Moussay, Yong D. Kim, Dal H. Kim, Sangil Lee, Annarita Baldan, Jianrong Li
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a group of gas-phase compounds present in the atmosphere that affect air quality and Earth's climate. Halocarbons, a subset of this group, are strong greenhouse gases and are linked to stratospheric ozone depletion

Chemical Identification of Interlayer Contaminants within van der Waals Heterostructures

June 24, 2019
Author(s)
Jeffrey Schwartz, ?Hsun-Jen Chuang, Matthew R. Rosenberger, Saujan V. Sivaram, Kathleen M. McCreary, B.T. Jonker, Andrea Centrone
Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) leverage the characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) material building blocks to create a myriad of structures with unique and desirable properties. Several commonly employed fabrication strategies rely on polymeric

pyMCR: A Python Library for Multivariate Curve Resolution Analysis

June 24, 2019
Author(s)
Charles H. Camp
In this work, a new software library is presented for performing multivariate curve resolution (MCR)analysis, a chemometric method for elucidating signatures of analytes ("endmember extraction") and their relative abundance (regression) from a series of

Revealing the distribution of metal carboxylates in oil paint from the micro- to the nanoscale

June 21, 2019
Author(s)
Xiao Ma, Victoria Beltran, Georg Ramer, Georges Pavlidis, dilworth parkinson, Mathieu Thoury, Tyler Meldrum, Andrea Centrone, Barbara H. Berrie
Oil paints comprise pigments, drying oils, and additives that together confer desirable properties, but can react forming metal carboxylates (soaps) that, over time, may damage artworks. Despite substantial research to understand these phenomena, soap

The Art in Science of MicroTAS 2018

June 21, 2019
Author(s)
Gregory A. Cooksey
The 2018 MicroTAS conference (the 22nd International Conference of Miniaturized Systems for Chemistry and Life Sciences) took us to Kaohsiung, Taiwan, for an inspiring mix of science and culture. The Art in Science competition, sponsored by Lab on a Chip

Diaphragmless Single Pulse Shock Tube for High-Temperature Chemical Kinetics Studies

June 3, 2019
Author(s)
William Sean McGivern, Iftikhar A. Awan, Jeffrey A. Manion
Single pulse shock tubes are effective tools for measuring chemical kinetics at high temperatures, typically (900–1400) K. However, the use of a diaphragm for shock generation leads to significant shock-to- shock inconsistencies in temperature for a
