Development of A Cryogenic Drift Cell Spectrometer and Methods for Improving the Analytical Figures of Merit for Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry Analysis
(2010-10-12)
A cryogenic (325-80 K) ion mobility-mass spectrometer was designed and
constructed in order to improve the analytical figures-of-merit for the chemical analysis
of small mass analytes using ion mobility-mass spectrometry. ...
Design for the Frail Old: Environmental and Perceptual Influences on Corridor Walking Behaviors of Assisted Living Residents
(2010-10-12)
Regular walking has several physical and psychological benefits for frail older
people. However, many residents in long-term care facilities are too sedentary to achieve
these benefits. Indoor walking appears to be a ...
