ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
2. Introduction
MS is an analytical technique that provides qualitative &
quantitative information, including the mass of molecules &
atoms in samples as well as the molecular structure of
organic and inorganic cpds
– It is an instrument that separates gas phase ionized
atoms, molecules, & fragments of molecules by the
difference in their mass-to-charge ratios.
In MS, a substance is converted into fragment ions.
2
3. Introduction…
The fragments (usually cations) are sorted on the basis of
mass-to-charge ratio, m/z.
The bulk of the ions usually carry a unit positive charge, thus
m/z is equivalent to the MW of the fragment.
The analysis of MS information involves the re-assembling of
fragments, working backwards to generate the original
molecule.
3
4. A MS needs to perform three functions:
• Creation of ions – e.g. the sample molecules are
subjected to a high energy beam of electrons,
converting some of them to ions
• Separation of ions – as they are accelerated in an
electric field, the ions are separated according to mass-
to-charge ratio (m/z)
• Detection of ions – as each separated population of
ions is generated, the spectrometer needs to qualify
and quantify them
Mass Spectrometer
4
7. 7
Inlet System:
To introduce a very small amount of sample (mol or less) into
the MS that converted to gaseous ions. ( a means for
volatilizing solid or liquid samples is presents).
Ion sources:
Convert the components of a sample into ions.
Mass analyzer
Analogous to grating in an optical spectrometer.
Dispersion is based upon the mass/charge ratios of the analyte
ions rather than upon the wavelength of photons.
Mass Spectrometer…
8. Detectors:
Convert the beam of ions into an electrical signal that can
then be processed, stored in the memory of a computer
and displayed or recorded in a variety ways.
Vacuum System:
To create low pressure (10-4 to 10-8 torr) in all the instrument
components except the signal processor and readout.
To prevent the ions of interest from colliding with
air molecules.
Mass Spectrometer…

Ion sources
Starting point: Formation of gaseous analyte Ions.
Methods of ion formation: Two major categories:
1- Gas-phase sources
-The sample is first vaporized and then ionized.
-Restricted to thermally stable compounds of B.pt. < 500 0C.
-Limited to Compounds of MWt’s <103dalton .
2- Desorption sources
The sample in a solid or liquid state is converted directly into
gaseous ions (not require volatilization of analyte molecules)
Applicable to nonvolatile and thermally unstable samples
Applicable to analytes having of 105 dalton or larger.

11. In a mass spectrometer, molecules in the gaseous state under low pressure are
bombarded with a beam of high energy electrons (about 70 electron-volts; eV)
This bombardment can first dislodge one of the electrons of the molecule and
produce a positively charged ion called “The molecular ion”
M + e’ M+• + 2 e’
Molecule high-energy electron molecular ion
The molecular ion contains also an odd number of electrons, thus it is a Free
radical, or generally “Radical Cation”
Electron Ionization

12. • This is done by adding a reagent gas into the ion
source.
• Electrons ionize the reagent gas (e.g. methane).
• These ions are highly reactive and react with the
analyte (XH).

flowing along the tip of the capillary.
• Because the mobile phase is volatile, the liquid droplets evaporate by
electrical potential & are flushed away by adrying gas.
• The analyte molecules remain charged & are extracted into the
vacuum area of MS.
• Used for Acidic or

Mass Analyzers
Mass analyzers separate ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z)
– Several devices are available for separating ions with different m/z
ratios.
o magnetic-sector,
o quadrupole,
o time-of-flight and
o ion traps are most used.
Mass analyzer should be:
- Capable of distinguishing between minute mass differences.
- Allows passage of sufficient number of ions to yield measurable
currents.
- Key specifications are:
o resolution,
o mass measurement accuracy, and
o sensitivity.

Magnetic-sector
•Amount of deflection depends on m/z.
•The detector signal is proportional to the number of ions hitting it.
•By varying the magnetic field, ions of all masses are collected and counted.
19. • Analyzer tube is surrounded by a magnet whose magnetic field deflects
the positively charged fragments in a curved path.
• At a given magnetic field strength, the degree to which the path is
curved depends on the mass-to-charge ratio (m/e) of the fragment:
• Path of a fragment with a smaller m/e value will bend more than that of
a heavier fragment. In this way, the particles with the same m/z values
can be separated from all the others.
• If a fragment’s path matches the curvature of analyzer tube, the
fragment will pass through the tube and out the ion exit slit (These ions
are said to be in register).
• A collector records the relative number of fragments with a particular
m/e passing through the slit. The more stable the fragment, the more
likely it will make it to the collector.
• Strength of magnetic field is gradually increased, so fragments with
progressively larger m/e values are guided through tube and out the exit
slit.

and DC voltages to operate
as a mass filter.

Time-of-flight (TOF) Mass Analyzer
•Ions are accelerated in pulses by means of an electric potential imposed
on a back plate right in the back of the ion source.
•The mass of each ion is thus determined based on its flight time to reach
the detector.
• Small ions reach the detector before large ones.
24. • GC-MS: the analytes are ionized under vacuum
conditions e.g. by EI, CI
• LC-MS: ionization is performed at atmospheric
pressure by ESI, APCI
• In both cases sample constituents are separated
by passage through a chromatographic column.
• Each cpd elutes into the mass spectrometer for mass
spectrometric analysis.
• MS - advanced chromatography detector.

27. The Mass Spectrum?
27
A mass spectrum is a presentation of the masses of the
positively charged ions (peaks) separated on the basis of
mass/charge (m/z) versus their relative concentrations.
28. Mass Spectrum (cont.)
28
Three types of peaks are observed in a MS Spectrum:
1. Base Peak
2. Molecular Ion Peak
3. Fragment Peaks
Base Peak
The most intense peak (most stable ion) in the mass spectrum
is called the Base Peak.
This Peak is assigned a value of 100%.
The intensities of the other peaks are reported as percentage
of the base peak.
29. Molecular Ion Peak
– In a Mass Spectrum Molecular Ion Peak is usually the peak
of highest mass number except for the isotope peak.
– It is important to note that there are possibilities and cases
where Base Peak and Molecular Ion Peak for a given
compound are same.

Fragment Peaks
All other peaks obtained and seen in the Mass Spectrum are derived
from Molecular Ion Peak or Base Peak and are thus called Fragment
Peaks.
*Base peak can be also fragment peak

31. Example: Pentane molecule:
Mass spectrum of pentane,
shown as a bar graph and in
tabular form.
Base peak represents fragment
that appears in greatest
abundance. Value of molecular
ion gives molecular mass of the
compound.
Note that:
The way by which the
molecular ion to be
fragmented depends
on the strength of its
bonds and stability of
the fragments.
31
32. Note that:
1- In some cases the base peak is the molecular ion peak, but in most cases it is
different from that of the molecular ion (according to the relative stability of ions
during fragmentation).
2- Peaks are commonly observed at m/e values one and two units less than the
m/e values of the carbocations because the carbocations can undergo further
fragmentation by losing one or two hydrogen atoms.
3- Small peak that occurs at m/e 73 (0.52%) is known as M+1 peak to indicate
that “It is one mass unit greater than the molecular ion(M+.),
The M+1 peak appear because most of elements have more than one naturally
occurring isotope.
32
33. Principal stable isotops of common elements:
From the table :
•For C, H, N and Si the principal heavier isotope is M+1.
•For O, Si, S, Cl and Br , the principal heavier isotope is the M+2
•For F and I, there is no heavier isotopes (not affect M+1 or M+2)
33
34. Some guides to determine molecular formula of
organic compounds:
Nitrogen rule:
– If molecular ion (M+) is even number, compound must contain an
even number of N atoms (zero is considered as even number)
Number of Carbon atoms:
– Relative abundance of M+1 peak can be used for determination of
number of carbons assuming that silicon and large number of
nitrogens (more than 3 N) are not present.
No of Carbons = Relative abundance of M+1/ 1.10
Relative abundance of M+2 peak indicates the presence (or
absence) of Oxygen (0.2), Silicon (3.35),Sulfer (4.4), Chlorine
(32.5) & Bromine (98.0)
34
35. Some guides to determine molecular formula of
organic compounds…
Molecular formula after this can be established by adding
the suitable number of hydrogens and oxygens if necessary.
The index of hydrogen deficiency (Due to double and triple
bonds and cyclization) can be calculated for the compounds
containing C, H, N, O, S & halogens from the formula:
Index = Carbons - Hydrogens/2 – Halogens/2 + Nitrogens/2 +1
– Divalent atoms like O and S are not counted in formula. The index
mainly used to indicate the number of double bonds.
35
36. High Resolution Mass Spectroscopy:
• Resolution: A measure of how well a mass
spectrometer separates ions of different mass.
– Low resolution: Refers to instruments capable of
separating only ions that differ in nominal mass;
that is ions that differ by at least 1 or more atomic
mass units (amu).
– High resolution: Refers to instruments capable of
separating ions that differ in mass by as little as
0.0001 amu.

37. High Resolution Mass Spectroscopy…
• Example:
– A molecule with mass of 44 could be C3H8, C2H4O, CO2, or
CN2H4.
– Thus, high resolution mass spectrometer is capable of
measuring mass with a high accuracy so can easily
distinguish among these 4 molecules.

38. Fragmentation rules in MS
1. Intensity of M.+ is Larger for linear chain than for branched compound
2. Intensity of M.+ decrease with Increasing M.W.
3. Cleavage is favored at branching
reflecting the Increased stability of the carbocations
This is a consequence of the increased stability of a 30 carbocation over a 20 ,
which in turn is more stable than a 10 one.
