The PACE instrument was composed of ion mass analyzer (IMA) and ion energy analyzer (IEA) for measuring ions below 28 keV/q, together with electron spectrum analyzer (ESA -S1 and ESA -S1for electrons below 15 keV (Sando et al. 2008a, 2008b).
The validation of the instrument was composed of a sequence of phases, as described in Fig. 2.
The original instrument was composed of 55 new Likert-type items intended to measure five constructs of interest: collaboration, discovery, relevance, iteration, and use of science practices.
The nonlinear microscopy instrument was composed of a home built femtosecond Cr:forsterite laser, a scanning unit (FV300, Olympus), an upright optical microscope, a 2D translation stage, three photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), a data acquisition card, and imaging reconstruction software.
7, 8 This instrument was composed of 14 items assessing whether or not CGs address treatment for older people and for people with several comorbid conditions, as well as patient-centered aspects, like patient preferences, for example.
The survey instrument was composed of previously validated measures, including emotional symptoms, peer problems and relationships, prosocial behaviour, other-group orientation, feelings of social inclusion and belonging and resilience.
The instrument is composed of commercial low-cost components in order to be competitive with the very expensive commercial devices.
This empirically based, self-reported instrument is composed of two independent scales that assess aggressive behaviors and reactions to peer aggression among children aged 6 to 13 years.
The instrument is composed of two differential electrostatic accelerometers, each of which is composed of two cylindrical and concentric test-masses.
The science instrument is composed of a low frequency radiometer, including electrically-short, tapered, bi-conical dipole antennas, a receiver, and a digital spectrometer.
The measuring instrument is composed of a micro-optical probe component for tool edge contour measurement and a Linnik microscope component for tool faces measurement.
