Correction of errors in tandem mass spectrum extraction enhances phosphopeptide identification by Hao, Piliang, Ren, Yan, Sze, Siu Kwan, Tam, James P.

“…The tandem mass spectrum extraction of phosphopeptides is more difficult and error-prone than that of unmodified peptides due to their lower abundance, lower ionization efficiency, the cofragmentation with other high-abundance peptides, and the use of MS3 on MS2 fragments with neutral losses. However, there are still no established methods to evaluate its correctness. …”

Underground climate: infrastructure, Hollow Earth, and the Anthropocene by Lund, SE

“…Interrogating representations of subterranean infrastructure made by speculative authors, engineers, scientists, and painters it becomes apparent that the imaginative network concerning underground climate is developed across the century, peaking in Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s The Coming Race (1871), and Gabriel Tarde’s Fragment d’histoire future (1896). These works, both dealing explicitly with underground climate engineering, enact as antecedents to the core themes of the increasingly chaotic Anthropocene: either we upgrade the scope of scientific modernity, Prometheanly perfecting the planetary climate to suit our specific needs, or we start conserving nature by rewilding the planet, Soterianly freeing the environmental Other from humanity’s dire influence.…”
