Experiments on hydrogen negative ions production in the large radio-frequency negative ion source with cesium seed are described. The system of directed cesium deposition to the plasma grid periphery was used. The small cesium seed (∼0.5 G) provides an enhanced H(-) production during a 2 month long experimental cycle. The gradual increase of negative ion yield during the long-term source runs was observed after cesium addition to the source. The degraded H(-) production was recorded after air filling to the source or after the cesium washing away from the driver and plasma chamber walls. The following source conditioning by beam shots produces the gradual recovery of H(-) yield to the high value. The effect of H(-) yield recovery after cesium coverage passivation by air fill was studied. The concept of cesium coverage replenishment and of H(-) yield recovery due to sputtering of cesium from the deteriorated layers is discussed.

Nanoparticles (approximately 100 nm in diameter) composed of lipid layers containing drugs or biologically active substances are attracting increasing attention in various fields, including medicine, as well as for signal transduction between cells. However, the separation of such nanoparticles conventional HPLC is challenging, often resulting in the clogging and collapse of nanoparticles, as well as a low separation efficiency. Thus far, no HPLC column capable of efficiently separating two types of 100 nm-sized nanoparticles in a short time has been reported.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, with uterine atony accounting for approximately 70% of PPH cases. However, there is currently no effective prediction method to promote early management of PPH. In this study, we aimed to screen for potential predictive biomarkers for atonic PPH using combined omics approaches.

Obtaining high-quality matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) images and the reproducibility of the technique depend strongly on the sample preparation protocol. The most crucial part is the application of the MALDI matrix, which often relies on expensive spraying or sublimation coaters. In this work, we present a new dual-polarity matrix for MALDI mass spectrometry imaging (MSI): Basic Blue 7 (BB7), which belongs to the group of triarylmethane dyes.

The need for stringent phosphorus removal from domestic wastewater is increasing to mitigate eutrophication, while efficient phosphate reuse is critical due to the global phosphate crisis. Combining aluminum sulfate (ALS) with high molecular weight organic polymers achieved 95-99% removal of particles, turbidity, and phosphates, reducing ALS usage by 40%. We propose mechanisms to explain the enhanced treatment efficiency.
