Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry(LC-MS, or alternatively HPLC-MS) isan analytical chemistry technique that combines the physical separation capabilities of liquid chromatography(or HPLC) with the mass analysis capabilities of mass spectrometry(MS). LC-MS is a powerfultechnique that has very high sensitivity and selectivity and so is useful in many applications. Its application is oriented towards the separation, general detection and potential identification of chemicals of particular masses in the presence of other chemicals[. ] 4, record 4, English, - quadrupole%20time%2Dof%2Dflight%20liquid%20chromatography%2Dmass%20spectrometry

A base in chemistry is a substance that can accept hydrogen ions or more generally, donate electron pairs. A soluble base is referred to as an alkali if it contains and releases hydroxide ions(OH−) quantitatively. The Brønsted-Lowry theory defines bases as proton(hydrogen ion) acceptors, while the more general Lewis theory defines bases as electron pair donors, allowing other Lewis acids than protons to be included. 3, record 5, English, - basic

L'adjectif basique est correctement utilisé en français pour désigner un sel basique qui peut formellement libérer un anion OH-. Il est fortement déconseillé de l'utiliser en français dans le cas d'un sel acide contenant un ou plusieurs cations H+; on doit donc éviter les noms tels que «phosphate de sodium dibasique» et «phosphate basique de disodium» qui sont des anglicismes de mauvais aloi. 3, record 5, French, - basique

Irradiation-Induced Stress Corrosion Cracking of Austenitic Stainless Steels. In recent years, failures of reactor internal components have been observed after the components have reached neutron fluence levels... The general pattern of the observed failures indicates that as nuclear plants age and fluence increases, various apparently nonsensitized austenitic stainless steels become susceptible to intergranular failure... Irradiation produces defects and defect clusters in grain matrices and alters the dislocation network, dislocation loop, and dislocation channel structures, leading to radiation-induced hardening. Irradiation also leads to changes in the stability of second-phase precipitates and the local chemistry near grain boundaries, precipitates, and defect clusters. 2, record 6, English, - irradiation%2Dassisted%20stress%20corrosion
