Enhancing the targeted and untargeted analysis of honey by vacuum-assisted SPME-GC × GC-MS. A green, practical, and highly informative approach by Damien Eggermont, Francesca Pardi, Giorgia Purcaro

“…The use of vacuum-assisted headspace (Vac-HS) coupled with solid-phase microextraction (SPME) is a technique that has been recently proven to be highly beneficial for enhancing the extraction of semi-volatile in shorter time and milder temperatures. This technique indeed increases the extraction kinetics by reducing the mass transfer resistance at the interface between the sample and headspace. …”

Development of Sr modified Al–Si–Mg–Fe based alloys for automotive components by H.R. Ammar, E. Samuel, A.M. Samuel, E. Elsharkawi, H.W. Doty, F.H. Samuel

“…The lack of an age hardening response of the ternary Al–12%Si-0.045%Sr alloy results in low alloy strength, making this alloy unsuitable for automotive components that may be exposed to high temperatures. The results of this study were supported by extensive tensile testing (about 1000 tensile bars). …”
