Insoluble organic matter (IOM) in primitive carbonaceous meteorites has preserved its chemical composition and isotopic heterogeneity since the solar system formed similar to 4.567 billion years ago. We have identified the carrier moieties of isotopically ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy can be applied in vivo to measure static or dynamic biochemical information, e.g., concentrations of metabolites and metabolic fluxes, using various nuclei such as 1H, 13C, 31P and 15N. The work of this thesis ...
Modeling groundwater flow and contaminant transport in industrialized and urbanized alluvial plains is challenging because of the dynamic nature of the strongly interacting river – groundwater system and the scarcity of data. An original combined regional ...
The gas push−pull test (GPPT) is a single-well gas-tracer method to quantify in situ rates of CH4 oxidation in soils. To improve the design and interpretation of GPPT field experiments, gas component transport during GPPTs was examined in abiotic porous me ...
The Baltic coast of Northern Poland is a region of considerable potential interest for paleoclimatic studies because this region is under the influence of both oceanic and continental climates and that these two influences have likely changed through time. ...
The only currently available method to measure brain glycogen in vivo is C-13 NMR spectroscopy. Incorporation of C-13-labeled glucose (Glc) is necessary to allow glycogen measurement, but might be affected by turnover changes. Our aim was to measure glycog ...
‘Little Ice Age’ (LIA) climatic deteriorations have been abundantly documented in various archives such as ice, lake sediments and peat bog deposits. Palaeoecological analyses of peat samples have identified these climatic deteriorations using a range of t ...
Non-destructive and destructive methods have been compared to validate their corresponding assessed accuracies in the measurement of 134Cs/137Cs and 154Eu/137Cs isotopic concentration ratios in four spent UO2 fuel samples with very high (52 and 71 GWd/t) a ...
A field method called gas push–pull test (GPPT) was previously developed for in-situ quantification of methane (CH4) oxidation by soil microorganisms. We examined whether natural-abundance stable carbon-isotope analysis of CH4, a common approach used to me ...
The modulation of spin echoes by homonuclear scalar couplings render the determination of transverse relaxation rates of individual spins difficult, in particular for molecules that are isotopically enriched in 13C or 15N, and for all molecules with scalar ...
