All examined elements (H, C, O, Si) were above the detection limit (3 to 5 × 1016 at/cm3) of SIMS technique.
The technique is independent from the chemical state of the elements, but it doesn't give information about the chemical bonds (oxidation state) of the examined elements.
A comparison of load-carrying capacity of exposed and undamaged columns for all examined elements leads to statements about the effectiveness of each protective measure.
The actual condition of examined elements is evaluated as worn out or obsolete in case the equipment is damaged or has to be replaced in order to meet current needs/standards accordingly.
Working curves developed via pXRF measurement of a suite of geologic standard reference materials and well-characterized lavas permitted accurate quantitative measurements for many of the examined elements on both sample powders and rock surfaces.
For the two crystal samples, we observed that all the three examined elements of Gd, Y, and Yb are homogenously dispersed overlap the nanocrystals, and the labeled areas of Gd element were a little smaller than that of Y and Yb elements.
In spite of finding of specific regulatory elements, the majority of the examined elements do not show preference to specific core types (Table 1).
In an initial effort to determine whether and how frequently LTR retrotransposon sequences are associated with putative genes in the rice genome, we examined elements from all 19 families of copia-like elements and 5 representative families gypsy-like elements present in O. sativa.
We used XRF microprobe analysis to examine element distributions and concentrations in tissue sections at beamline 2-ID-E of the Advanced Photon Source.
