They are focusing on how the anthrax was processed, whether it comes from sophisticated processes known to only a few state-sponsored labs or from more elementary procedures that could have been performed by almost any microbiologist--or even by someone with less training.
Measuring the magnetic resonance of crystals first involved growing the crystals, a simple procedure often done by elementary school students.
This technical paper addresses an elementary analytic procedure for the approximate solution of the quasi-one-dimensional heat conduction equation (a generalized Bessel equation) that governs the temperature variation in annular fins of hyperbolic profile.
The determination scores were obtained through elementary arithmetic procedures, without inversion or transformation of values (range: 1 4), with a resulting midpoint of 2.5 for each item.
Another well-known positive finding is that of the Polish-American semanticist and logician Alfred Tarski, who developed a decision procedure for elementary geometry and elementary algebra (1951).

"PW India violated its most fundamental duty as a public watchdog by failing to comply with some of the most elementary auditing standards and procedures in conducting the Satyam audits," said Robert Khuzami, the commission's director of enforcement.
While for the general logic, our decision procedure is non-elementary, for the simple fragment that is used above we show that complexity is polynomial in the size of the game graph and optimal in the formula (ranging between 2EXPTIME and polynomial depending on the exact formulas).
