Correction of Matrix Effects for Reliable Non-target Screening LC–ESI–MS Analysis of Wastewater by Selina Tisler (6062354)

“…A new scaling (TiChri scale) of the matrix effect was introduced, which demonstrates that the total ion chromatogram (TIC) predicts the matrix effect as effectively as post-column infusion (PCI) approaches; thus, the average median matrix effect was improved from −65 to 1% for influent (REF 100) and from −46 to −2% for effluent extracts (REF 250). …”

data_share by Qi Zhu (9428795)

“…In contrast, for electrons at higher energies, the diffusion coefficients tend to increase at lower pitch angles and decrease at relatively higher pitch angles. We also find that decrease of <i>L</i>-shell and increase of <i>α</i>* and temperature anisotropy tend to weaken the hiss-driven pitch angle scattering efficiency of electrons at energies from tens to hundreds of keV with a dip at ~30 - 50 keV, while the scattering of higher energy electrons can be enhanced. …”
