CAMO Software Announces Planned Integration into ABB xPAT Platform
August 21st 2009CAMO Software, a leading supplier of multivariate analysis (MVA) and design of experiments (DoE) software, announced its planned integration into the ABB xPAT platform to further strengthen its position in the growing areas of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Quality by Design (QbD).
Pittcon 2010 Announces Plenary Lecturer
August 14th 2009Pittcon announced that Alan G. Marshall, Kasha Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at Florida State University (Tallahassee, Florida) and director of the Ion Cyclotron Resonance Program at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, will be the plenary lecturer during the opening session on March 1 at Pittcon 2010.
Near-IR Spectroscopy Used to Detect Disease in Cattle
August 3rd 2009Researchers at the Kansas State University Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service (Manhattan, Kansas) conducted a pilot study at a commercial feedyard in which they used near-infrared spectroscopy to identify cattle with undifferentiated bovine respiratory disease (BRD), a leading cause of post-weaning bovine illness and death.
Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Sleep Apnea
June 15th 2009Using magnetic resonance spectroscopy, researchers at the University of New South Wales Brain Sciences (Sydney, Australia) recently showed that the brain is damaged more severely by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and snoring than previously thought.
Infrared-Equipped Satellites Help Search for Missing Airplane
June 2nd 2009Data from the U.S. Air Force Defense Support Program (DSP) missile warning satellites collected early June 1 over the central Atlantic Ocean is being studied to see if it detected the impact or a fiery breakup of the Air France Airbus A330 that disappeared enroute to Paris, France, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil early on June 1.
The Waters Centre for BioMedical Mass Spectrometry at the University of Warwick
April 21st 2009Waters Corporation (Milford, Massachusetts) and the University of Warwick, Coventry and Warwickshire, England, signed a collaborative research agreement intended to support the growth, development and adoption of novel mass spectrometry (MS) technologies.
NIR Spectroscopy -- A Noninvasive Mind-Reader?
April 21st 2009Canadian researchers at the Bloorview Research Institute (Toronto, ON, Canada) and the University of Toronto have developed a way to use optical imaging to decode preference by measuring the intensity of near-infrared light absorbed in brain tissue.
Mass Spectrometry and Glial Cells
April 20th 2009Using a new mass spectrometry technique and stem cells that can be made to produce either neurons or glial cells, a team of researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies (La Jolla, California) identified a molecular signaling pathway that is required for the production of glial cells, yielding insight into the neurobiology of Down?s syndrome and several nervous system disorders characterized by too many glial cells.
