This paper presents a new computer code developed to solve the 1D magnetotelluric (MT) inverse problem using a Bayesian trans-dimensional Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. MT data are sensitive to the depth-distribution ...

A principal feature of electrospray ionization (ESI) is the transfer of ions in solution into the gas-phase for analysis by mass spectrometry. The electrospray process is intricate and therefore each stage of the process ...

The anions formed from methylalumoxane (MAO) and suitable donors (e.g. octamethyltrisiloxane) are amenable to mass spectrometric (MS) analysis. Their composition as deduced from this data allows direct insight into the ...

The applicability of droplet-based microfluidic systems to many research fields stems from the fact that droplets are generally considered individual and selfcontained reaction vessels. This study demonstrates that, more ...

Centrifugal microfluidic platforms have significant potential in commercial applications because of their operational flexibility and minimal external infrastructure requirements. However, the dynamic and real-time control ...

A new geospeedometer, based on diffusion modeling of Mg in plagioclase, is used to determine cooling rates of the upper section of the lower oceanic crust formed at fast-spreading mid-ocean ridges. The investigated natural ...

Off-axis hydrothermal systems are thought to carry globally significant chemical fluxes but different ocean crust sections show widely differing extents of alteration making the quantification of these fluxes complex. With ...

Combining Ph3SiF and fluoride ion under conditions used for the Hiyama coupling causes rapid formation of the expected [Ph3SiF2]−; however, real-time electrospray mass spectrometric analysis reveals that phenyl-fluoride ...

Hydrothermal vent communities are distributed along mid-ocean spreading ridges as isolated patches. While distance is a key factor influencing connectivity among sites, habitat characteristics are also critical. The Pescadero ...

We present new U-Pb zircon ages for heterogeneous mafic-felsic rocks of the West Coast complex, a midcrustal plutonic component of exposed Jurassic arc-crustal section on Vancouver Island. We examine the timing of juvenile ...
