The FRS Ion Catcher

2013

At the FRS Ion Catcher at GSI, projectile and fission fragments are produced at relativistic energies, separated in-flight, range-focused, slowed down and thermalized in a cryogenic stopping cell. A multiple-reflection time-of-flight mass spectrometer (MR-TOF-MS) is used to perform direct mass measurements and to provide an isobarically clean beam for further experiments, such as mass-selected decay spectroscopy. A versatile RF quadrupole transport and diagnostics unit guides the ions from the stopping cell to the MR-TOF-MS, provides differential pumping, ion identification and includes reference ion sources. The FRS Ion Catcher serves as a test facility for the Low-Energy Branch of the Sup…

Rapid Radiochemical Separation Procedures from Aqueous Solutions

1992

The state-of-the-art in the field of rapid radiochemical separation procedures is illustrated by two systems using aqueous solutions as input: ARCA, an apparatus for repetitive separations, and SISAK, a centrifuge system for continuous separations. Applications presented are: Solvent extraction of element 105 investigated with 34-s 262105 using ARCA, and decay scheme studies of the fission product 1.0-s 110Tc by means of SISAK.

Tiger nut and its by-products valorization: From extraction of oil and valuable compounds to development of new healthy products

2018

Abstract Consumer's growing demand for consumption of “Horchata de chufa”, a Spanish beverage produced from tiger nut tubers, has led to large-scale production of tiger nuts, and its subsequent processing for the food industry. Recent investigations clearly show that tiger nut is a valuable source of stable vegetable oils, rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, and phytosterols as well as high-added value compounds (proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and bioactive compounds). Several conventional (Soxhlet) and alternative innovative (SC-CO2, enzyme, high pressure, etc.) extraction methods have been developed for the efficient recovery of tiger nut oil and high-added value compounds. …

From ‘green’ technologies to ‘red’ antioxidant compounds extraction of purple corn: a combined ultrasound-ultrafiltration-purification approach

2018

A pilot scale process consisting of ultrasound-assisted extraction, ammonium sulfate precipitation, cross-flow ultrafiltration and AB-8 macroporous resins purification aiming to recover anthocyanins and zein from purple corn (PC) was optimized and scaled-up. The effects of five independent variables (ethanol concentration, liquid to solid ratio, ultrasound temperature, time and power) were discussed and the most influential factors were optimized.; Results: The highest total anthocyanin (0.45 ± 0.01 g kg-1 ) and zein (17.14 ± 1.73 g kg-1 ) contents from purple corn were obtained using an ultrasound power of 105 W, an extraction time of 90 min, an ethanol concentration of 74% and a liquid to…

Strategie preventive e management odontoiatrico nel paziente a rischio di osteonecrosi delle ossa mascellari associata a farmaco

2017

Osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) drug related is an uncommon but serious and debilitating disease, whose epidemiology and pathogenesis are still unclear. However, in the recent years, knowledge regarding ONJ risk factors has lead to substantial progress in ONJ prevention. Anti-resorptive medicines (e.g. bisphosphonates, denosumab) and anti-angiogenic medicines (e.g bevacizumab, sunitinib) are being used in the treatment of various cancers and in the treatment of several non-oncological conditions, mainly for the osteoporosis. Despite the higher frequencies of ONJ cases in cancer patients, ONJ is becoming more frequent in everyday practice in osteometabolic patients. This due to the higher num…

ONJ in osteometabolic patients: NO guilty verdict for teeth extraction

2018

The aim of this study is to evaluate retrospectively the impact of some variables on the risk of oNJ onset in osteometabolic non-cancer patients by logistic regression analyses.

Occurrence of fourteen mycotoxins in tiger-nuts

2012

Abstract A previous developed matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction method was applied for the routine analysis of aflatoxins (AFs), ochratoxin A (OTA), fumonisins (FB 1 and FB 2 ), beauvericin (BEA), nivalenol (NIV), deoxynivalenol (DON), the toxin T-2 (T-2), toxin HT-2 (HT-2), diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS) and zearalenone (ZEN) in tiger-nuts by liquid chromatography–triple-quadrupole linear ion trap (HPLC–QTRAP ® ). The extraction solid support used was C 18 , while the elution solvent was acetonitrile/methanol (50/50, v/v) 1 mM ammonium formate. Using matrix-matched calibration, recoveries and repeatabilities were in the range 67–89% and 2–11% relative standard deviation (RSD), resp…

Evaluation of matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) extraction for multi-mycotoxin determination in different flours using LC-MS/MS

2011

An existing matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) method for aflatoxins (AFs) and ochratoxin A (OTA) extraction was extended by further 14 mycotoxins. After it careful optimization, this method was applied to determine the occurrence of these mycotoxins on commercial flour samples (with different cereals composition) collected from local markets. In a total of 49 samples investigated, 9 mycotoxins were identified. Nivalenol (NIV) and Beauvericin (BEA) were the mycotoxins found most frequently. The samples that presented major contamination were wheat flours and bakery preparations. Despite of the great number of positives finding, only one wheat flour sample exceeded the maximum limits (ML) …

Application of hybrid linear ion trap-high resolution mass spectrometry to the analysis of mycotoxins in beer

2011

This paper reports the application of liquid chromatography electrospray ionization ion trap-orbitrap mass spectrometry for the determination of 18 mycotoxins (aflatoxins, fumonisins, trichothecenes, ochratoxin A, sterogmatocystin, beauvaricin, zearalenone and zearalenol) in beer. The extraction procedure was carried out by solid phase extraction (SPE): SPE columns were conditioned with acetonitrile/methanol and water. Beer was loaded onto the column which was washed with water. In these conditions, the recoveries were more than 65% and the relative standard deviation (RSD) were below 18%. The lowest limits of quantification (LLOQ) ranged from 9 to 155 ng ml(-1). Matrix-matched calibration …
