Investigating the effect of isotope substitution on equilibrium and kinetic properties of molecules has become an important tool for estimating the importance of nuclear quantum effects. In this work, we discuss calculating both equilibrium and kinetic iso ...
Pools of aquatic plants and benthic invertebrates were collected along with 47 individuals from three cyprinid fish species (Barbus barbus, Gobio gobio, Rutilus rutilus) at a site in the Rhone River (France). Carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios (delta C-13 ...
Urbanisation is known as a fundamental driver of actual land use change. A good understanding of how catchments are affected by urbanisation (particularly in terms of water quantity and quality) is necessary to be able to propose more sustainable approache ...
Oxic lake surface waters are frequently oversaturated with methane (CH4). The contribution to the global CH4 cycle is significant, thus leading to an increasing number of studies and stimulating debates. Here we show, using a mass balance, on a temperate, ...
Assessing the precursors and reactions leading to the carcinogenic N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) during drinking water disinfection is a major challenge. Here, we investigate whether changes of C-13/C-12,H-2/H-1, and N-15/N-14 ratios of NDMA give rise to i ...
The Isotope Separator OnLine (ISOL) technique is used at the ISOLDE - Isotope Separator OnLine DEvice facility at CERN, to produce radioactive ion beams for physics research. At CERN protons are accelerated to 1.4 GeV and made to collide with one of two ta ...
Lipidomes undergo permanent extensive remodeling, but how the turnover rate differs between lipid classes and molecular species is poorly understood. We employed metabolic N-15 labeling and shotgun ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometry (sUHR) to quantify ...
Foraminifera are ubiquitous eukaryotic protists inhabiting all types of marine environments. The chemical and isotopic compositions of their carbonate tests are commonly used as proxies for paleo-environmental conditions. However, while foraminifera repres ...
Ti-foils are currently used as a spallation target material to produce radioisotopes for physics research at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. However, radioisotope production rates often decrease over time due to material degradation from high operation temper ...
The proton double quantum-carbon single quantum correlation experiment has been applied to designed peptides in the solid state in natural isotopic abundance. Analogous to nOe studies in solution, through-space double-quantum connectivities have been explo ...
