We investigate the relationships between the peak fluxes of 18 solar energetic particle (SEP) events and associated coronal mass ejection (CME) 3D parameters (speed, angular width, and separation angle) obtained from SOHO, STEREO-A and/or B for the period from 2010 August to 2013 June. We apply the STEREO CME Analysis Tool (StereoCAT) to the SEP-associated CMEs to obtain 3D speeds and 3D angular widths. The separation angles are determined as the longitudinal angle between flaring regions and magnetic footpoints of the spacecraft, which are calculated by the assumption of Parker spiral field. The main results are as follows. 1) We find that the dependence of the SEP peak fluxes on CME 3D speed from multi-spacecraft is similar to that on 2D CME speed. 2) There is a positive correlation between SEP peak flux and 3D angular width from multi-spacecraft, which is much more evident than the relationship between SEP peak flux and 2D angular width. 3) There is a noticeable anti-correlation (r=-0.62) between SEP peak flux and separation angle. 4) The multiple regression method between SEP peak fluxes and CME parameters shows that the longitudinal separation angle is the most important parameter, and the CME 3D speed is secondary on SEP peak flux.

Method development for complex low molecular mass (LMM) samples using reversed-phase (RP) separation conditions presents significant challenges due to the presence of many unknown analytes over wide concentration ranges. This guide aims to optimize method parameters-column length (L), temperature (T), flow rate (F), and final mobile phase conditions (Øfinal)-to maximize separation peak capacity. Validated by prior research, this protocol benefits laboratories dealing with metabolomics, natural products, and contaminant screening. This practical guide provides a structured approach to maximizing peak capacity for complex LMM separations. It complements computational optimization strategies and offers a step-by-step method development process. The Snyder-Dolan test is highlighted as essential for determining the need for gradient or isocratic elution and guiding column length decisions. The decision tree framework helps analysts prioritize variable optimization to develop effective separation methods for complex samples.

Hg-Te-CdTe superlattices have received much interests over the last several years as a potential material for its applications for detecting devices and optoelectronics. We have grown the HgTe-CdTe superlattice using MBE. in our lab. We have carried out DCRC spectroscopy after growth of HgTe-CdTe superlattice with varying the superlattice periods and controlling the barrier thickness and we have that the presence of the main peak and the satellite peaks. We obtained 20 arcsec of FWHM over 100 periods of superlattice. We also note that high peak intensity shows the high quality of the sample and each layer of superlattice has abrupt interfaces. The angular separation between the main peak(m=0) and the first satellite peak(m=$\pm$1) is increased when the barrier layer thickness in superlatice layers are decreased. The separation between the first setellite peak(m=$\pm$1) and the second satellite peak(m$\pm$2) is increased similarly. The number of the satellite peak is a qualitative measure of the interfacial abruptness of the superlattice.

In the present study, we examine the dependence of solar proton peak flux at SOHO and STEREO on 3-D CME parameters (radial speed, angular width, and longitudinal angular separation between its source region and the magnetic footpoints of spacecraft). For this we consider 38 proton enhancements of 16 SEP events observed by SOHO, STEREO-A, and/or B from 2010 August to 2013 June. As a result, we find that the enhancements are strongly dependent on these three parameters. The correlation coefficient between proton peak flux and CME speed is about 0.42 for the cases the footpoints are located inside the lateral boundaries of angular widths, while there is no correlation for the events outside the boundaries. The correlation coefficient between peak flux and angular separation is -0.51. We find that most of strong proton events occur when their angular separations are closer to zero, supporting that most of the proton fluxes are generated near the CME noses rather than their flanks.

Various separation techniques of antimicrobial compounds from food materials have proven to be ineffective, involving liquid-liquid extraction and chromatography. We established efficient separation procedure for partially purifying antimicrobial compounds from Korean leek. Separation procedures consisted of ultrafiltration, liquid-liquid extraction, TLC and HPLC. Molecular weight of antimicrobial compounds were less than 5,000 dalton. Major compounds were propenyl methyl disulfide, S-methyl methylthiosulphonate and dimethyl disulfide.

Past earthquakes experience shows that serious damage or collapse of buildings have dramatically accrued when sufficient separation distance has not been provided between two adjacent structures. The majority of past studies related to the pounding topic indicate that obtaining the gap size between two buildings is able to prevent collision and impact hazards during seismic excitations. Considering minimization of building collisions, some relationships have been suggested to determine the separation distance between adjacent buildings. Commonly, peak lateral displacement, fundamental period and natural damping as well as structural height of two adjacent buildings are numerically considered to determine the critical distance. Hence, the aim of present study is to focus on all mentioned parameters and also utilizing the main characteristic of earthquake record i.e. PGA to examine the lateral displacement of irregular structures close to each other and also estimate the sufficient separation distance between them. Increasing and decreasing the separation distance is inherently caused economical problems due to the land ownership from a legal perspective and pounding hazard as well. Therefore, a new equation is proposed to determine the optimum critical distance. The accuracy of the proposed formula is validated by different models and various earthquake records.

This paper studied the probability of pounding occurred between decks and abutments of a long span high-pier continuous rigid fame bridge subjected to ground motions with local soil effect. A pounding probability analysis methodology has been proposed using peak acceleration at bedrock as intensity measure (IM) for multi-support seismic analysis. The bridge nonlinear finite element (FE) models was built with four different separation distances. Effect of actual site condition and non-uniform spatial soil profiles on seismic wave propagating from bedrock to ground surface is modelled. Pounding probability of the high-pier bridge under multi-support seismic excitations (MSSE) is analyzed based on the nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis (n-IDA). Pounding probability results under uniform excitations (UE) without actual local site effect are compared with that under MSSE with site effect. The study indicates that the required design separation length between deck and abutment under uniform excitations is larger than that under MSSE as the peak acceleration at bedrock increases. As the increase of both separation distance between deck and abutment and the peak acceleration, the probability of pounding occurred at a single abutment or at two abutments simultaneously under MSSE is less than that under UE. It is of great significance considering actual local site effect for determining the separation distance between deck and abutment through the probability pounding analysis of the high-pier bridge under MSSE.

To resolve the differentiation problem of acetone and acrolein in the analysis of carbonyls by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), we investigated the optimum analytical conditions for their separation. Carbonyl compounds were collected by 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH)-coated cartridges. We examined the influence of three experimental variables: temperature (25, 30, 40, 50 and 60 ${^{\circ}C}$), flow rate (1.0 and 1.2 mL/min), and relative mobile phase composition (among acetonitrile, water and tetrahydrofuran). The experimental results revealed the optimum analytical condition of a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min, temperature of 32 ${^{\circ}C}$ and mobile phase composition of acetonitrile: water: tetrahydrofuran = 34 : 52.8 : 13.2. The analysis of indoor air composition indicated that acrolein and acetone comprised 11% and 42% of all aldehydes, respectively.

In this study, sheathless electrospray from PDMS/glass microchips with conducting metal emitter tip is described. A chip-based capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry (CE/MS) system has advantages of the CE separation and on-line electrospray detection of peptide solution. We have fabricated a new electrospray ionization(ESI) device composed of the metal emitter tip and CE separation channel monolithically in a glass microchip. The separation channel and metal emitter tip are fabricated using a glass wet etching and gold electro plating process, respectively. The fabricated micro electrospray chip was tested by spraying peptide sample for mass spectrometric analysis. Singlely-charged peak and doublely-charged peak of peptide were detected and further MS/MS fragmentation was performed in each peak. Direct comparisons with conventional glass or fused silica emitters showed very similar performance with respect to signal strength and stability.

We have investigated photoluminescence(PL) spectra of four $In_xGa_{1-x}N(x=0.15)/GaN$ multiple quantum well(MQW) structures with different well widths in order to study a phenomenon on crystal phase separation. The asymmetic behavior of PL spectra becomes stronger with increase of the well width from 1.5 nm to 6.0 nm, which indicates dual-peak nature. Analyzing the dual-peak fit PL spectra, we have observed that the intensity of low-energy shoulder peak rapidly becomes stronger, compared to that of high-energy peak corresponding to a transition in InGaN QW. It suggests that InGaN QW has two phases with tiny different In compositions, and that In-rich(InN-like) phase forms more and more relatively than stoichiometric InGaN(x=0.15) phase by the InN phase separation mechanism as the QW width increases. PL spectrum of 6.0-nm sample shows an additional peak at low-energy lesion(${\sim}2.0\;eV$) whose energy position is almost the same as a defect band of yellow luminescence frequently observed in GaN epilayers. It may be due to a defect resulted from In deficiency formed with development of the phase separation.
