Mass filter operation in higher stability zones is known to provide better resolution. Unfortunately, for sine driven instruments, higher stability zone operation reduces the accessible mass range and increases the degenerative effects of fringe fields. Conversely, digitally driven mass filters do not suffer from loss of mass range, and the fringe field effects do not increase significantly by switching stability zones because the AC voltage is always constant and the DC voltage is always zero. This work catalogues 12 stability zones that are accessible with the new digital waveform generation technology. These zones have theoretical baseline resolving powers that range from 22 to 1 300 000 with pseudopotential well depths that range from 3.5 to 43 V. Operation in higher stability zones also has the advantage of aligned axial stability wells. That alignment maximizes the pseudopotential well depth for each higher stability zone, making them more than an order of magnitude greater than the standard ∼0.2 V well of a sine filter operating in the first stability zone at unit resolution. Increased pseudopotential well depth correlates with better ion transmission and sensitivity. Our theoretical examination suggests that the digital mass filter can obtain both high resolution and high sensitivity with essentially unlimited mass range.

Background: Traditionally, dental implants require a healing period of 4 to 9 months for osseointegration, with longer recovery times considered when bone grafting is needed. This retrospective study evaluates the clinical efficacy of demineralized dentin matrix (DDM) combined with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) during dental implant placement to expedite the osseointegration period for early loading.
Methods: Thirty patients (17 male, 13 female; mean age 55.

Electrochemical nitrogen conversion for ammonia (NH) synthesis, driven by renewable electricity, offers a sustainable alternative to the traditional Haber-Bosch process. However, this conversion process remains limited by a low Faradaic efficiency (FE) and NH yield. Although transition metals have been widely studied as catalysts for NH synthesis through effective electron donation/back-donation mechanisms, there are challenges in electrochemical environments, including competitive hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and catalyst stability issues.

Efforts to understand and respond to the opioid crisis have focused on overdose fatalities. Overdose mortality rates (ratios of overdoses resulting in death) are rarely examined though they are important indicators of harm reduction effectiveness. Factors that vary across urban communities likely determine which community members are receiving the resources needed to reduce fatal overdose risk.

Glassphalt suffers from performance defects, especially against moisture damage and fatigue cracking. In this research, the performance of glassphalt modified with CF has been evaluated against moisture damage, fatigue cracking and rutting. Based on this, Modified Lottman, Wilhelmy Plate (WP), Indirect Tensile Stiffness Modulus (ITSM), Indirect Tensile Fatigue (ITF), and Repeated Load Axial (RLA) tests have been performed on glassphalt modified with CF.

Human β-defensin (HBD) has been recognized as a promising antimicrobial agent due to its broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against various pathogens. In our previous work, we engineered a chimeric human β-defensin, designated H4, by fusing human β-defensin 3 and human β-defensin 4, resulting in enhanced antimicrobial activity and salt stability. However, the high cost of chemical synthesis due to the relatively large number of amino acids in H4 has limited its applications.
