In this work, a commercially available autosampler was adapted to perform direct liquid microjunction (LMJ) surface sampling followed by a high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation of the extract components and detection with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). To illustrate the utility of coupling a separation with this direct liquid extraction based surface samplin...

Ambient ionization mass spectrometry techniques have recently become prevalent in natural product research due to their ability to examine secondary metabolites in situ. These techniques retain invaluable spatial and temporal details that are lost through traditional extraction processes. However, most ambient ionization techniques do not collect mutually supportive data, such as chromatographi...

Abstract In droplet-on-demand liquid metal jetting (DoD-LMJ) additive manufacturing, complex physical interactions govern the droplet characteristics, such as size, velocity, and shape. These in turn, determine functional quality of printed parts. Hence, to ensure repeatable reliable part it is necessary monitor control characteristics. Existing approaches for in-situ monitoring behavior DoD-LM...

In indirect drive scheme, the laser light is converted in X-rays in a hohlraum made of a high-Z material. Part of this radiation flux is absorbed by a microballoon, filled with DT, and placed in the center of the hohlraum, leading to its implosion, ignition and burn. The right control of radiation fluxes, spectrum and energy, is then an issue for the LMJ target design. The presentation will giv...

The use of anaerobic reactors for domestic sewage treatment has increased significantly since the UASB configuration started to be efficiently applied for this purpose in the beginning of the 1980s. Nowadays, hundreds of UASB reactors, or similar anaerobic units, are used in domestic sewage treatment systems, particularly in developing countries. These units have been operated at ambient temper...
