Elemental analyses were performed on a Gmbe VarioEL Elemental Instrument.
The fungal extract subjected to elemental analysis instruments to determine hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur ratio (Elemental analysis CHNS elementary, Vario EL III, Germany).
Cu was measured using ICP-MS on a Thermo-elemental X5 instrument.
After air drying and sieving through a 2-mm sieve, the soil texture was measured using pipet method, and total organic carbon (TOC) was determined by an EA 1108 Elemental Analyzer (Fisons Instruments).
The instrument records elemental distribution images by scanning the instrument head in front of the panel using a motorized X-Y stage.
"Storytelling is an elemental communication tool.
For carbon and nitrogen determination, leaf powder was weighed into tin capsules and measured in a CNS-elemental analyser (Carlo Erba Instruments, Rodano, Italy).
Pt analysis was carried out by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), using a standard Plasma-Quad II instrument (VG Elemental, Winsford, UK), fitted with a standard autosampler and concentric nebuliser, using a method based on that developed by Christodoulou et al (1996).
Total nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) contents in soils were measured on the finely ground samples using elemental analyzer (Euro EA, EuroVector instruments and software).
The results of the elemental analysis of the musical instruments ash are compiled in Table 1, those of the commercial woods in Table 2, where the numbers represent wt% elements or oxides normalized to 100% total.
Samples were analyzed for C and N on a CE Instruments model NC2100 elemental analyzer.
