ABSTRACT
A magnet system is used in the SPERF to create the magnetic field configuration for simulating the space plasma environment. In this paper, the parameters of the system are designed to achieve the target fields needed by the scaling laws, and the electromagnetic analysis has been performed to validate the results. A procedure to obtain the parameters is proposed based on the investigation into the physical and technological constraints. The vacuum magnetic fields for studying the 3D magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause, Earth's magnetosphere, and 3D magnetic reconnection driven by a plasma gun are computed. In addition, the engineering complexity is reviewed in brief. This research is crucial to the construction of the SPERF, and it is valuable to designing the magnets applied in other fields.
ABSTRACT
An atmospheric pressure laserspray ionization mass spectrometry (AP-LSI mini MS) has been developed and employed in the fast analysis of bacteria. Without using surfactants or any extracting methods, 21 foodborne bacteria from 12 genera were directly analyzed. Typical fingerprints of small molecules and lipids were detected and recognized in the mass spectra with high reproducibility. Furthermore, a supervised multivariate statistics method, orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS), was applied, and these bacteria could be differentiated at both genus and species levels. With improved performance in the future, AP-LSI mini MS could be a simple, effective, and fast approach for direct bacteria analysis on the field.
