Determination of amitraz and its transformation products in pears by ethyl acetate extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
2008
A method has been developed for identification and quantification of the acaricide amitraz and its transformation products, 2,4-dimethylaniline (DMA), 2,4-dimethylformamidine (DMF) and N-2,4-dimethylphenyl-N-methylformamidine (DMPF) in pears. The analytes were extracted using ethyl acetate and anhydrous sodium sulphate. Analysis was performed by liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) in the positive ion mode using a triple quadrupole (QqQ) instrument. Two precursor-product ion transitions were monitored for each compound in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The method was validated with pears taken from the orchard before the amitraz treatment …
Determinación de residuos de paraquat en lechuga y repollo cultivados en Lepaterique mediante HPLC-DAD
2018
La determinación de residuos del herbicida paraquat en lechuga (Lactuca sativa) y repollo (Brassica oleracea) producidos en la comunidad de La Brea, Lepaterique y comercializados en la ciudad de Tegucigalpa fue llevada a cabo en los meses de octubre y noviembre de 2017, mediante la aplicación de cromatografía líquida de elevada resolución con detector de arreglo de diodos (HPLC-DAD) en menos de 6 minutos, con un mecanismo de separación de fase reversa empleando una columna superficialmente porosa C18 y una mezcla de ácido orto fosfórico al 0.1 M (pH 3,0) con acetonitrilo en proporción de 3:1 como fase móvil. El método se basa en la extracción con baño ultrasónico utilizando agua como solven…
An abstract doubly nonlinear equation with a measure as initial value
2007
Abstract The solvability of the abstract implicit nonlinear nonautonomous differential equation ( A ( t ) u ( t ) ) ′ + B ( t ) u ( t ) + C ( t ) u ( t ) ∋ f ( t ) will be investigated in the case of a measure as an initial value. It will be shown that this problem has a solution if the inner product of A ( t ) x and B ( t ) x + C ( t ) x is bounded below.
Extremal solutions and strong relaxation for nonlinear multivalued systems with maximal monotone terms
2018
Abstract We consider differential systems in R N driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous second order differential operator, a maximal monotone term and a multivalued perturbation F ( t , u , u ′ ) . For periodic systems we prove the existence of extremal trajectories, that is solutions of the system in which F ( t , u , u ′ ) is replaced by ext F ( t , u , u ′ ) (= the extreme points of F ( t , u , u ′ ) ). For Dirichlet systems we show that the extremal trajectories approximate the solutions of the “convex” problem in the C 1 ( T , R N ) -norm (strong relaxation).
Maximum entropy method : an unconventional approach to explore observables related to the electron density in phengites
2009
The maximum entropy method (MEM) is used here to get an insight into the electron density [rho(r)] of phengites 2M (1) and 3T, paying special attention to the M1-formally empty site and charge distribution. Room temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction data have been used as experimental input for MEM. The results obtained by MEM have been compared with those from conventional structure refinement which, in turn, has provided the prior-electron density to start the entropy maximization process. MEM reveals a comparatively non-committal approach, able to produce information related to the M1-site fractional occupancy, and yields results consistent with those from the difference Fourier s…
About the reliability of the Maximum Entropy Method in reconstructing electron density: the case of MgO
2006
Abstract The reliability of the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) to reconstruct finite temperature electron density (ED) is here discussed, investigating the case of periclase (MgO). A theoretical electron density has been generated by quantum mechanic calculations and folded with a function simulating atomic thermal motion, in order to produce a reference errorless ED [ρ(r)REF]. The Fourier coefficients of ρ(r)REF have been calculated, and used as “observed” diffraction intensities to reconstruct via MEM the original ED. The electron density attained by MEM [ρ(r)MEM] and ρ(r)REF have been compared with each other (pixel-by-pixel and critical points) to assess the ability of MEM to retrieve EDs…
High-pressure structural and lattice dynamical study ofHgWO4
2010
We have synthesized monoclinic mercury tungstate $({\text{HgWO}}_{4})$ and characterized its structural and vibrational properties at room conditions. Additionally, we report the structural and lattice dynamical behavior of ${\text{HgWO}}_{4}$ under high pressure studied by means of x-ray diffraction and Raman-scattering measurements up to 16 GPa and 25 GPa, respectively. The pressure dependence of the structural parameters and Raman-active first-order phonons of monoclinic $C2/c$ ${\text{HgWO}}_{4}$ are discussed in the light of our theoretical first-principles total-energy and lattice dynamics calculations. Our measurements show that the monoclinic phase of ${\text{HgWO}}_{4}$ is stable u…
Experimental realization of a pillared metasurface for flexural wave focusing
2021
International audience; A metasurface is an array of subwavelength units with modulated wave responses that show great potential for the control of refractive/reflective properties in compact functional devices. In this work, we propose an elastic metasurface consisting of a line of pillars with gradient heights, erected on a homogeneous plate. The change in the resonant frequencies associated with the height gradient allows us to achieve transmitted phase response covering a range of 2π, while the amplitude response remains at a relatively high level. We employ the pillared units to design a focusing metasurface and compare the properties of the focal spots through simulation and experimen…
High-energy X-ray diffraction and topography investigation of CdZnTe
2005
High-energy transmission x-ray diffraction techniques have been applied to investigate the crystal quality of CdZnTe (CZT). CdZnTe has shown excellent performance in hard x-ray and gamma detection; unfortunately, bulk nonuniformities still limit spectroscopic properties of CZT detectors. Collimated high-energy x-rays, produced by a superconducting wiggler at the National Synchrotron Light Source’s X17B1 beamline, allow for a nondestructive characterization of thick CZT samples (2–3 mm). In order to have complete information about the defect distribution and strains in the crystals, two series of experiments have been performed. First, a monochromatic 67 keV x-ray beam with the size of 300×3…
Versuche zur Lichtbeugung an Ultraschall in Quarz
1967
Diffraction of a continuous laser beam (He-Ne) by standing ultrasonic waves of 260 Mcs/s in quartz has been investigated. Besides the principal maximum at exact Bragg-incidence, the variation of intensity of first order diffraction pattern with tilt angle shows up to 15 secondary maxima. The effective depth of sound field and the maximum variation of refractive index were determined by comparison with the theory ofBhatia andNoble.
