Modifications to the azide method for nitrate isotope analysis
Authors: Tu Ying , Fang Yunting , Liu Dongwei , Pan Yuepeng 
Published: May 2016

RationaleThe azide method for measuring the stable isotope ratios of nitrate (NO3−) is easy to set up. However, the method requires spongy cadmium (Cd) or activated Cd powder which are not easy to prepare, and a toxic azide buffer is used. We aimed to use Cd powder directly to simplify preparation and to substantially reduce the azide dose.MethodsThe reaction conditions were optimized in order to maximize the NO3− reduction yield. The original azide buffer was diluted by 10‐ to 10000‐fold with or without addition of sodium acetate to reduce O‐exchange between nitrite (NO2−) and H2O. The isotope ratios of the produced nitrous oxide (N2O), used to examine the overall reaction performance, were measured using a purge and cryogenic trap system coupled to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer.ResultsIt was found that Cd powder could be directly used to reduce NO3− to NO2−. A 100‐fold diluted azide buffer could be used to reduce NO2− to N2O when only the δ15N value was measured, and the diluted azide buffer with sodium acetate when both δ15N and δ18O values were measured. Using the modified method, the standard deviations of the δ15N and δ18O measurements of international NO3− standards were 0.1 to 1.0‰ and often better than 0.3‰ (3 replicates).ConclusionsCompared with the original azide method, the techniques described here can reduce preparation time by using Cd powder without activation in the first reaction step and substantially (by >60‐fold) reduce the dose of extremely toxic reagents containing azide by incorporating sodium acetate in the second reaction step. Our modified method is suitable for samples with small volume (5 mL), being different from previous methods in which 50 or 70 mL samples were used. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Dopant‐assisted direct analysis in real time mass spectrometry with argon gas
Authors: Cody Robert B. , Dane A. John 
Published: May 2016

RationaleDopants used with Atmospheric Pressure Photoionization (APPI) were examined with the Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART®) ion source operated with argon gas. Charge‐exchange and proton transfer reactions were observed by adding toluene, anisole, chlorobenzene and acetone to the DART gas stream, complementing the information obtained by helium DART.MethodsMass spectra were acquired with a time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer equipped with a DART ion source operated with argon gas. A syringe pump was used to introduce dopants directly into the DART gas stream through deactivated fused‐silica capillary tubing. Samples including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), diesel fuel, trinitrotoluene and cannabinoids were deposited onto the sealed end of melting tube, allowed to dry, and the tube was then suspended in the dopant‐enhanced DART gas stream.ResultsPAHs could be detected as molecular ions at concentrations in the low parts‐per‐billion range by using a solution of 0.5% anisole in toluene as a dopant. Argon DART analysis of a diesel fuel sample with the same dopant mixture showed a simpler mass spectrum than obtained by using helium DART. The argon DART mass spectrum was dominated by molecular ions for aromatic compounds, whereas the helium DART mass spectrum showed both molecular ions and protonated molecules. In contrast O2– attachment DART showed saturated hydrocarbons and oxygen‐containing species. Mass spectra for trinitrotoluene with argon DART in negative‐ion mode showed a prominent [M – H]– peak, whereas conventional helium DART showed both M– and [M – H]–. Lastly, in analogy to a report in the literature using APPI, positive ions produced by argon DART ionization for delta‐9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol showed distinctive product‐ion mass spectra.ConclusionsDopant‐assisted argon DART operates by a mechanism that is analogous to those proposed for dopant‐assisted atmospheric‐pressure photoionization.

The Value of the Humanities
Authors: Holm Poul , Jarrick Arne , Scott Dominic 
Published: May 2016

AbstractWhat is the value of the humanities? This is a question that guides us throughout this report as we seek conceptual clarity and credibility for practices in digital humanities, knowledge exchange, globalisation, interdisciplinarity, infrastructure and public policy In this chapter, however, we address the question head-on as we report on how humanities researchers themselves articulate the value of their work. This chapter reveals that humanists across the globe more often than not identify a social value to humanities research.
The Digital Humanities
Authors: Holm Poul , Jarrick Arne , Scott Dominic 
Published: May 2016

AbstractIn the last 25 years digital technologies have changed the humanities. The question is: by how much? Is the digital revolution transforming the humanities intellectually? Or has it just sped up processes and access in ways that are certainly faster but not essentially different? Are we asking new research questions or are we just using new tools? Furthermore, do the digital humanities require new skillsets, which could cause us to think of universities and research training in fundamentally new ways, or is it sufficient to rely on established ways? This chapter explores these questions.
Translating the Humanities
Authors: Holm Poul , Jarrick Arne , Scott Dominic 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThis chapter explores the different ways in which research’s insights and results are communicated and translated to beyond university boundaries. First we outline the flow of academic knowledge from researcher to end user. Second, we look into how this translation takes place, according to current national reports, and identify what senior academic researchers and academics in leading positions believe is happening and what they recommend. We find that the knowledge pool of the humanities is tapped in haphazard and entirely contingent ways. The way forward is to ensure that translational practices are valued and resourced adequately. The flip side of that coin is that problems of academic freedom and ethics must be addressed.
The Culture of Humanities Research
Authors: Holm Poul , Jarrick Arne , Scott Dominic 
Published: May 2016

AbstractThis chapter covers a cluster of issues to do with the culture of humanities research. We found broad institutional and technological changes are affecting the way the humanities operate:
Internationalisation: there are more global networks, international collaborations and funding opportunities; increasingly, research is happening outside national and regional boundaries.
Interdisciplinarity: there is an established trend for major funding bodies in Europe and the US to insist that projects be interdisciplinary, involving the collaboration of scholars from different fields.
