A radio frequency-free electromagnetostatic (EMS) cell devised for electron-capture dissociation
(ECD) of ions has been retrofitted into the collision-induced dissociation (CID) section of a triple
quadrupole mass spectrometer to enable recording of ECD product-ion mass spectra and
simultaneous recording of ECD-CID product-ion mass spectra. This modified instrument can be used...
The results presented in this dissertation address a number of questions regarding late Pleistocene and Holocene ice-sheet and climate interactions, spanning disciplines involving paleoclimatology and atmospheric science. These studies use various techniques in geochemistry, climate modeling, and ice-sheet modeling to address ice- sheet response to climate and the attendant interactions...
In the forest products business and management literature, one common categorization of different types of innovation is product innovation, process innovation and business systems innovation. Forest products companies have long placed high emphasis on process innovations, which are related to yield maximization, manufacturing efficiency and operating costs reduction. This is...
To improve storage/shipping quality of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.), the effect of calcium chloride (CaCl₂) added to hydro-cooling water on physiological and biochemical processes related to fruit and pedicel quality was investigated on two major cultivars. The fruit tissue Ca content increased up to 29% to 85% logarithmically for...
