Result of the study on the exposure of imidacloprid on Lymnaea stagnails, have led to this study. The results indicate that imidacloprid might be metabolized to other components. Therefore the aim of the study was two folded: 1. To develop a method for the quantification of imidacloprid and its metabolites. …

Standard mass-production is a well-known manufacturing concept. To make small quantities or even single items of a product according to user specifications at an affordable price, alternative agile production paradigms should be investigated and developed. The system presented in this article is based …

We have investigated the photoionization and photodissociation of free coronene cations C24H12+ upon soft X-ray photoabsorption in the carbon K-edge region by means of a time-of-flight mass spectrometry approach. Core excitation into an unoccupied molecular orbital (below threshold) and core ionization …
