Sentence examples for immobile elements from inspiring English sources

We present a general framework that links specific features of the morphogen profile in the clone vicinity to three basic morphogen properties: diffusion, degradation, and binding to immobile elements.

The Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) for clay and the Mineral Index of Alteration (MIA) for sand both quantify the loss of mobile elements and minerals relative to immobile elements and resistant minerals, respectively, during the in situ chemical weathering of bedrock (Data Repository)25,26.

Immobile elements and their ratios (e.g. the Nb/Y vs Zr/Ti plot) or trace elements (Co, Th) and rare earth elements (laser ablation ICP-MS analyses of glass particles, volcanic clasts and pumice-like materials) gave precious hints of the origin of the volcanic deposits.

Compared to the modern alluvial deposits in the active channel, the Quaternary terrace deposits in the Solimões River have a higher chemical index of alteration (CIA), higher SiO2/Al2O3 ratios, higher concentrations of immobile elements, higher radiogenic Sr isotopic compositions, more negative εNd(t = 0) values, and older Nd TDM ages.
