Abstract
The activation of natural gas nuclei to induce larger bubbles is possible using short ultrasonic excitations of high amplitude, and is required for ultrasound cavitation therapies. However, little is known about the distribution of nuclei in tissues. Therefore, the acoustic pressure...

Abstract
The detection of bacterial signaling molecules in liquid or gaseous environments has been occurring in nature for billions of years. More recently, man-made materials and systems has also allowed for the detection of small molecules in liquid or gaseous environments. This chapter will outline some e...

Abstract
We show, using a general circulation model, that substantially more sea-ice habitat would be retained if greenhouse gas rise is mitigated. We also show, with Bayesian network model outcomes, that increased habitat retention under greenhouse gas mitigation means that polar bears could persist through...

Abstract
A new series of 4-aryl-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridines, characterized by ester or ketone functions at positions 3 and 5, has been synthesized. Structural and conformational properties, concerning the dihydropyridine ring and the orientation (synplanar/antiperiplanar) of the substituents have been...

Abstract
We have identified the added importance of conformational changes in the excited state, relative to the initial geometry, on the resulting decay pathways. The ground-state structure and photodynamics of free-base and Cu(ii) complexes of protoporphyrin IX, laser desorbed into a cold supersonic expans...

Abstract
We show that intact neutral molecules of guanosine 5'-monophosphate can be vaporized by laser desorption when its phosphate group is esterified. The UV and IR spectroscopic measurements of this nucleotide reveal the existence of a novel internal hydrogen-bonding conformation of the phosphate group a...

Abstract
We used IRMPD spectroscopy and ion mobility spectrometry to assess whether i-motif structures were preserved in the gas phase. We first investigated the IRMPD spectral signature of the tetramer [dC(6)](4), which can only be formed via C-H(+)-C base pairing, compared to the single strand dC(6). The I...

Abstract
We investigate whether "supercharging" reagents able to shift the charge state distributions (CSDs) of electrosprayed protein ions upward also influence gas-phase protein structure. A differential mobility analyzer and a mass spectrometer are combined in series (DMA-MS) to measure the mass and mobil...

Abstract
In this study, an anaerobic sequencing batch reactor (ASBR) was operated with leachate from Brady Road Municipal Landfill in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Leachate was collected twice from the same cell at the landfill, during the first and 70th day of the study, and then fed into the ASBR. The ASBR w...

The "hydrophobic hydration processes" can be satisfactorily interpreted on the basis of a common molecular model for water, consisting of two types of clusters, namely W(I) and W(II) accompanied by free molecules W(III). The principle of thermal equivalent dilution (TED) is the potent tool (Ergodic...

Abstract
The mean rectal area was: 13.5 cm(2) at MRI-BL, 12.7 cm(2) at MRI-CT, and 12.3 cm(2) at MRI-RT (MRI-BL vs. MRI-CT, p = 0.11; MRI-BL vs. MRI-CT, p = 0.07). Moving rectal gas alone (56%) and moving gas and stool (18%) caused 74% of intrafraction prostate motion. The PTPM3 was 11.3% at MRI-BL, 4.8% at...
