Data-independent acquisition (DIA) in liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) provides more comprehensive untargeted acquisition of molecular data. Here we provide an open-source software pipeline, MS-DIAL, to demonstrate how DIA improves simultaneous identification and quantification of small molecules by mass spectral deconvolution. For reversed phase LC-MS/MS, our program with an enriched LipidBlast library identified total 1,023 lipid compounds from nine algal strains to highlight their chemotaxonomic relationships.
Stability of two superposed fluids of different viscosity in plane Poiseuille flow is studied numerically. Conditions for the growth of an interfacial wave are identified. The analysis extends Yih’s results [J. Fluid Mech. 27, 337 (1967)] for small wavenumbers to large wavenumbers and accounts for differences in density and thickness ratios, as well as the effects of interfacial tension and gravity. Neutral stability diagrams for the interfacial mode are reported for a wide range of the physical parameters describing the flow. The analysis shows also that the flow is linearly unstable to a shear mode instability. The dependence of the critical Reynolds number for the shear mode on the viscosity ratio is reported. Theoretical predictions of critical Reynolds numbers for both modes of instability are compared with available experimental data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
