Measurements have been made of the sputtering yields, the mass spectra of ejected molecules, and ejection rates for various kiloelectronvolt ions incident on sodium sulfide (Na2S). The sputtering yields were small compared to those measured earlier for the more volatile sulfur ($8) and SO2 due to the strong ionic bonding in the solid. The mechanism of sputtering for the corotating sulfur and ox...

Inorganic compounds in biomass, often referred to as ash, are known to be problematic in the thermochemical conversion of biomass to bio-oil or syngas and, ultimately, hydrocarbon fuels because they negatively influence reaction pathways, contribute to fouling and corrosion, poison catalysts, and impact waste streams. The most common ash-analysis methods, such as inductively coupled plasma-opti...

BACKGROUND Chronic pulmonary disease and skin/soft tissue infections due to non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) of the Mycobacterium chelonae-abscessus-massiliense group is an emerging health problem worldwide. Moreover, the cure rate for the infections this group causes is low despite aggressive treatment. Post-surgical outbreaks that reached epidemic proportions in Brazil recently were caused ...
