This article investigates maleic anhydride (C₂H₂(CO)₂O, Furan-2,5-dione) that is emitted into or formed in the atmosphere during bio-mass burning events as well as being a photochemical degradation product of some aromatic volatile organic compounds. The photochemical fate of maleic anhydride, however, is presently not well enough characterized to enable modeling of its impact on the environment and human health. In this study, the room temperature UV and infrared absorption spectra of maleic anhydride were measured and quantified using several complementary calibration methods.

Article describes the main surface activation and pretreatment techniques for substrates such as titanium and its alloys, stainless steel, magnesium alloys, and CoCrMo alloys.

Article presents the simulations of an electrostatic quadrupole quadruplet (EQQ) lens system that will be used in a new sub-micron multi-ion beam for radiobiological studies.

This article describes a proposed antihydrogen gravity experiment that could be conducted at the CERN Antiproton Decelerator facility to determine the directionality of the acceleration of antihydrogen in earth’s gravitational field.
