Soot Particle Agglomeration Inlet (SPAI) for Enabling Online Chemical Composition Measurement of Nanoparticles with the Aerosol Mass Spectrometer by Sampsa Martikainen, Sanna Saarikoski, Paxton Juuti, Hilkka Timonen, Jorma Keskinen, Panu Karjalainen

“…Abstract Nanoparticles are a topic of interest because of their effects on human health and the climate, but the current options for evaluating their chemical composition—one of the key properties that determine the mechanisms of these effects—remain very limited and often require long collection times. For example, the Soot Particle Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (SP-AMS) is an instrument that measures the chemical properties of particles in real time, but sampling loss fixes its lower particle size limit at 50 nm, thus excluding nanoparticles. …”

Emotional Stroop Test in online and offline experimental procedures: the comparison of two different modes of conducting studies by Adrianna Wielgopolan, Maciej Pastwa, Dawid Żuk, Kamil K. Imbir

“…While conducting experiments via the Internet has become quite popular recently, there is still an ongoing debate regarding the reliability of data obtained using this method, especially for subtle manipulations and measurements susceptible to minor changes (e.g., reaction times). In this series of two experiments employing the emotional Stroop task (using emotional word stimuli differing in their valence, arousal, and subjective significance levels), we compared the reaction times of participants taking part in experiments either in the laboratory (Experiment 1) or online (Experiment 2). …”
