Analysis of the Role of Clavata1 and Clavata2 in Shoot and Floral Meristem Development

这项来自学术研究基础设施计划的奖励将帮助乔治华盛顿大学化学系获得相位多普勒粒子分析仪。 拟支助的研究活动包括：（1）在用于元素分析的分析光谱法中研究新型雾化系统和高温氦等离子体，（2）研究由激光烧蚀金属、绝缘体和高转变温度超导体产生的羽流，（3）研究扩散火焰中污染物的产生和监测，这是气体工业感兴趣的领域，（4）发展有效实用的高阶计算方法，用于模拟非定常非线性三维偏微分方程描述的物理现象。 傅里叶变换质谱仪具有极高的质量分辨率，用于测量分子离子的精确分子量。 它也可以用来获得关于气相中离子分子反应的非常详细的信息。 这些信息可以用来帮助确定原子组成，有时还可以确定分子的分子几何形状。

This award from the Academic Research Infrastructure Program will help the Department of Chemistry at George Washington University acquire a Phase-Doppler Particle Analyzer. The research activity to be supported includes: (1) investigation of novel nebulization systems and high-temperature helium plasmas in analytical spectrometry for elemental analysis, (2) investigation of plumes generated by laser ablation from metals, insulators, and high-transition temperature superconductors, (3) investigations of the production and monitoring of pollutants in diffusion flames, an area of interest for the gas industry, (4) development of efficient practical high-order computational methods for the simulation of physical phenomena described by unsteady nonlinear three-dimensional partial differential equations. A Fourier transform mass spectrometer is capable of extremely high mass-resolution and is used to measure the precise molecular weight of a molecular ion. It may also be used to obtain highly detailed information about ion molecule reactions in the gas phase. This information may be used to help determine the atomic composition and, sometimes, the molecular geometry of a molecule.
