Diclofenac (DCF) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgetic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. The mechanism of action of diclofenac, like that of other NSAIDs, involves inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2). Another pharmacological effect is preventing of prostaglandin synthesis in vitro. Prostaglandins are mediators of inflammation, because diclofenac is an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis.
A method has been developed to analyse for diclofenac (DCF) in the milk.
The investigation of metabolic fluxes and metabolite distributions within cells by means of tracer molecules is a valuable tool to unravel the complexity of biological systems. Technological advances in mass spectrometry (MS) technology such as atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) coupled with high resolution (HR), not only allows for highly sensitive analyses but also broadens the usefulness of tracer‐based experiments, as interesting signals can be annotated de novo when not yet present in a compound library. However, several effects in the APCI ion source, i.e., fragmentation and rearrangement, lead to superimposed mass isotopologue distributions (MID) within the mass spectra, which need to be corrected during data evaluation as they will impair enrichment calculation otherwise. Here, we present and evaluate a novel software tool to automatically perform such corrections. We discuss the different effects, explain the implemented
algorithm, and show its application on several experimental datasets. This adjustable tool is available as an R package from CRAN.
The Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM) for prismatic structures is an efficient method for the simulation of acoustic behavior. Hence a further development of the method is of great interest. The wave propagation can be calculated for isotropic and anisotropic materials in solids. As for many applications the acoustic behavior in fluids and the behavior in case of fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is subject of research, the implementation of a fluid model in SBFEM for prismatic structures is needed. In case of FSI the coupling between fluid and solid domains can be performed without additional effort when describing both domains in the same variables. Hence a displacement-based fluid description is used. As the discretized formulation leads to spurious modes, a penalty method to suppress the unphysical behavior is chosen. To validate the derived model a comparison with analytical solutions of purely fluid domains is made. As to verify that in case of FSI the model shows the right behavior, dispersion curves of water-filled pipes are calculated and compared to results obtained with Comsol.
The Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method is known as an efficient method for the simulation of ultrasonic wave propagation. As to investigate acoustic wave behavior in case of fluid‐structure interaction, a fluid model is implemented in the SBFEM for prismatic structures. To omit coupling terms a displacement‐based formulation is used. Spurious modes, which occur in the solution, are suppressed using a penalty parameter. To verify this formulation dispersion curves obtained with Comsol Multiphysics are compared to results of SBFEM. The results of both methods are in very good agreement
A general method to carry out the fluorination of metal oxides with poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE, Teflon) waste by spark plasma sintering (SPS) on a minute scale with Teflon is reported. The potential of this new approach is highlighted by the following results. i) The tantalum oxyfluorides Ta3O7F and TaO2F are obtained from plastic scrap without using toxic or caustic chemicals for fluorination. ii) Short reaction times (minutes rather than days) reduce the process time the energy costs by almost three orders of magnitude. iii) The oxyfluorides Ta3O7F and TaO2F are produced in gram amounts of nanoparticles. Their synthesis can be upscaled to the kg range with industrial sintering equipment. iv) SPS processing changes the catalytic properties: while conventionally prepared Ta3O7F and TaO2F show little catalytic activity, SPS-prepared Ta3O7F and TaO2F exhibit high activity for photocatalytic oxygen evolution, reaching photoconversion efficiencies up to 24.7% and applied bias to photoconversion values of 0.86%. This study shows that the materials properties are dictated by the processing which poses new challenges to understand and predict the underlying factors.
Synthetic peptide pools are used in antigen-specific T-cell assays, which are an important part in vaccine and immunotherapeutic clinical trials. As the analytical characterization is challenging due to the similarity of the single peptides or is expensive due to isotope labeled standards, usually only a pre-characterization of the single peptides is performed. However, a regular quality control of the peptide mix would be highly desirable. Therefore, a cost-efficient high performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (HPLC-HRMS) method for quality control of a model peptide pool is developed.
Peptides were synthesized using peptides&elephants proprietary libraries of individual peptides (LIPS) technology and purified by reversed-phase chromatography to > 90% each. The lyophilized single peptides were combined to a model peptide pool and analyzed by reversed-phase high-performance capillary liquid chromatography coupled to an orbitrap mass spectrometer. Separation was performed on a capillary reversed phase column (2 μm, ID x L 300 μm x 150 mm) with a linear gradient of acetonitrile + 0,05% trifluoroacetic acid.
After optimizing the injection mode, the gradient elution, the temperature and the additives a model peptide pool was separated. The extracted ion chromatogram (XIC) was studied to confirm the exact masses.
By combination of capillary HPLC and HRMS a new cost-efficient quality control method could be developed for the separation and identification of complex synthetic peptide pools.
The common characterization and identification of pollen is a time-consuming task that mainly relies on microscopic determination of the genus-specific pollen morphology. A variety of spectroscopic and spectrometric approaches have been proposed to develop a fast and reliable pollen identification using specific molecular information. Amongst them, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) shows a high potential for the successful investigation of such complex biological samples. Based on optimized MALDI sample preparation using conductive carbon tape, the application of multivariate statistics (e.g. principal components analysis, PCA) yields an enormous improvement concerning taxonomic classification of pollen species compared to common microscopic techniques.
Since multivariate evaluation of the recorded mass spectra is of vital importance for classification, it’s helpful to implement the applied sequence of standard Matlab functions into a graphical user interface (GUI). In this presentation, a stand-alone application (GUI) is shown, which provides multiple functions to perform fast multivariate analysis on multiple datasets. The use of a GUI enables a first overview on the measured dataset, conducts spectral pretreatment and can give classification information based on HCA and PCA evaluation. Moreover, it can be used to improve fast spectral classification and supports the development of a simple routine method to identify pollen based on mass spectrometry.
The very strong Lewis acid aluminium chlorofluo-ride (ACF) was loaded with anhydrous HF. The interactionbetween the surface of the catalyst and HF was investigatedusing a variety of characterization methods, which revealed he formation of polyfluorides. Moreover, the reactivity ofthe HF-loaded ACF towards the hydrofluorination of alkyneswas studied.
This paper presents an approach to the automatic enrichment of finite elements in the vicinity of a stress singularity. The enrichment consists of semi-analytical singular modes constructed using the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM).
In contrast to analytical methods, the SBFEM provides modes for inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials without additional effort. The finite element basis can be of arbitrary order and remains unaltered by the enrichment. The approach requires enrichment in only one layer of elements around a node. Due to the compatibility of SBFEM with FEM, there is no Need for transitional elements, and there are no parasitic terms. The approach is tested for several benchmark problems. The stress intensity factors are computed based on techniques inspired by the SBFEM. The proposed procedure is compared to a Standard finite element implementation and shows a significant improvement in the error of the displacement field for problems involving singular stresses.
In our (dramatically understaffed) X-ray scattering laboratory, developing a systematic, holistic methodology1 let us provide scattering and diffraction information for more than 2100 samples for 200+ projects led by 120+ collaborators over the last five years. Combined with universal, automat-ed data correction pipelines, as well as our analysis and simulation software, this led to more than 40 papers2 in the last 5 years with just over 2 full-time staff members.
While this approach greatly improved the consistency of the results, the consistency of the samples and sample series provided by the users was less reliable nor necessarily reproducible. To address this issue, we built an EPICS-controlled, modular synthesis platform to add to our laboratory. To date, this has prepared over 1200 additional (Metal-Organic Framework) samples for us to meas-ure, analyse and catalogue. By virtue of the automation, the synthesis of these samples is automat-ically documented in excruciating detail, preparing them for upload and exploitation in large-scale materials databases alongside the morphological results obtained from the automated X-ray scat-tering analysis.
Having developed these proof-of-concepts, we find that the consistency of results are greatly im-proved by virtue of their reproducibility, hopefully adding to the reliability of the scientific findings as well. Additionally, the nature of the experiments has changed greatly, with much more emphasis on preparation and careful planning. This talk will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this highly integrated approach and will touch upon upcoming developments.
