Peak parking

There are four main modes of operation of LC-NMR instruments, in terms of how the compound/fraction of interest is dealt with post chromatographic separation. These methods are continuous-flow, stop-flow, peak parking and peak trapping. There are several different variations within each of these modes (e.g. peak-slicing). Each one of these modes will be described in turn and advantages and disadvantages will be discussed. See Fig. 19.20. 

Peak Parking Another approach to acquiring complete information in a narrow peak is to extend the analysis time over peaks of interest. In this approach, termed peak parking or variable-flow chromatography, the column head pressure, and hence the flow rate, are reduced instantaneously [3,4], With this approach, it is possible to perform higher-resolution narrow mass scans and acquire MS/MS scans on all coeluting components in a single narrow peak.

A recent review of the experimental situation has been given by Honig(1985). It is pointed out that the electrical properties, particularly near to the transition, are very sensitive to purity and specimen preparation, and that much of the extensive experimental work is therefore open to doubt. None the less, the broad features of the behaviour of this material are clear. The history of the so-called Verwey transition in this material goes back to 1926, when Parks and Kelly (1926) detected an anomalous peak near 120 K in the heat capacity of a natural crystal of magnetite. The first detailed investigations were those of Verwey and co-workers (Verwey 1939, Verwey and Haayman 1941, Verwey et al. 1947), who showed that there was a near discontinuity in the conductivity at about 160K. The conductivity as measured by Miles et al. (1957) is shown in Fig. 8.1. 

Pyrene shown a number of photophysical features that made it an attractive fluorophore to probe the microenvironment in micellar aggregates [19]. For the peaks of pyrene PL, two important peaks at about 373 nm and 390 nm among the five dominant peaks of pyrene fluorescence were numbered as 1 and III, respectively [20]. It has been known that intensity ratio of peak 111 to I (III/I) increased as the polarity at the solubilization site of pyrene decreases. Figure 6 shows fluorescence spectra (A.ex = 310 nm) of pyrene in precursor gel containing TPA and I-IV samples denoted as (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e), respectively. The value of 111/1 of pyrene does not change under silicalite-1 gel due to no formation of micelle. However, in the Fig. 6d (sample II), III/I ratio is rapidly increased, while sample III and IV are decreased slightly again. Previously, Park et al. have reported that 111/1 ratio of pyrene for... 

Environmental Problems in the Peak District National Park... 

Local residents have been protesting against proposals to site a new limestone quarry in the beautiful Derbyshire Peak District in the UK. However, limestone is such a useful and sought-after mineral that demand has encouraged mining in National Park areas.

Howdeshell and Hites [102] identified three aromatic fluorinated compounds associated with the production of 4-(trifluoromethyl)-chlorobenzene in sediment core samples from Lake Ontario in 1993. These compounds were specifically associated with the Hyde Park dumpsite near the Niagara River [97], which was also likely to be the main source of 2378-TeCDD (Fig. 9). The average maximum years for concentrations of these fluorinated compounds was 1969-1971 in the Niagara, Mississauga, and Rochester Basins, and 1975 in the Kingston Basin. Pearson et al. [19] noted that the peak PCDF concentration in Lake Ontario sediments corresponded to that of the fluorinated compounds, suggesting that Hyde Park may be the source of the unusual PCDF contamination of Lake Ontario as well as 2378-TeCDD.
