A pulsed power facility for studying the warm dense matter regime.

A pulsed power facility has been designed for studying the warm dense matter regime. It is based on the pulsed Joule heating technique, originally proposed by Korobenko and Rakhel [Int. J.

Cost-effectiveness of SARS-CoV-2 self-testing at routine gatherings to minimize community-level infections in lower-middle income countries: A mathematical modeling study.

Places of worship serve as a venue for both mass and routine gathering around the world, and therefore are associated with risk of large-scale SARS-CoV-2 transmission. However, such routine gatherings also offer an opportunity to distribute self-tests to members of the community to potentially help mitigate transmission and reduce broader community spread of SARS-CoV-2. Over the past four years, self-testing strategies have been an impactful tool for countries' response to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially early on to mitigate the spread when vaccination and treatment options were limited.

Detection of gluten peptides in human duodenal fluids with immuno-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Gluten proteins are storage proteins in wheat that exhibit a certain resistance to gastrointestinal digestion. To explore solutions to cope with accidental ingestion of gluten in individuals suffering from gluten-related disorders, it is essential to monitor the fate of gluten peptides in biological samples, , gastrointestinal juices, blood plasma or urine. In this work, we aimed at developing a mass spectrometry (MS)-based method for measuring gluten peptides in human duodenal fluids.
