It is also used with online elemental coal analyzers and bulk material analyzers in the coal and cement industries.
After the chemical weapon terrorism with SARIN (methyphosphonofluoridic acid 1-methyl-ethyl ester), a nerve agent used in Tokyo, Japan in 1995, the Ministry of Health and Welfare set up the chemical material's analyzers for countermeasure immediately at 73 emergency centers in Japan.
Two levels of quality control (QC) material were analyzed with each run on the analyzer and standard Westgard rules applied.
All dried plant material was analyzed for δN on a PDZ Europa ANCA-GSL elemental analyzer and a PDZ Europa 20-20 isotope ratio mass spectrometer (Sercon Ltd., Cheshire, UK) at the UC Davis Stable Isotope Facility, USA.
There are many sources of noise (background) including the natural background, neutron activation of the detector, gamma-rays associated with the neutron source and prompt gamma-rays from the structural materials of the analyzer.
Since vf also affects the viscoelastic response of the material, a dynamic mechanical analyzer has been used to study the changes in the internal friction, tan δ, and viscosity, η, due to annealing.
The low molecular weight (LMW) or total RNA extracts were fractionated further at Illumina following their preparative protocol for SBS sequencing on the Illumina Genome Analyzer (see Materials and Methods).
In this article, the Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP) Transport Code and Evaluated Nuclear Data File (ENDF) database are used to optimize the neutron source term in PGNAA-based coal analyzer, including the material and shape of the moderator and neutron reflector.
Immunohistochemical studies were performed using the indirect immuno-peroxidase staining technique on the paraffin-embedded material with a Ventana ES automatic analyzer (Ventana Medical Systems) and with a hematoxylin counterstain.
C/N ratio analyses were carried out with 6 mg of dried powdered material per leaf using a HCN analyzer (Flash EA 1112 NC Soil Analyzer; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) measuring the percentage of nitrogen and carbon (Fischer and Fiedler 2000).
