Silver-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry can be used for the analysis of small molecules. For example, adduct formation with silver cations enables the molecular analysis of long-chain hydrocarbons, which are difficult to ionize via conventional matrix-assisted laser desorption

Lipases play essential roles in digestion, transport, and processing of dietary lipids in insects. For parasitoid wasps with a unique life cycle, lipase functions could be multitudinous in particular. Pteromalus puparum is a pupal endoparasitoid of butterflies. The female adult deposits eggs

The feasibility of broadband proton decoupled in vivo 13C NMR spectroscopy of humans at 1.5 T was explored. A dual surface coil set-up was used, comprising a circular 13C coil and a butterfly 1H decoupling coil placed at one third of its width away from the body. A calibration procedure was
