This work aims at improving the mapping of major mineral variability at regional scale using scale-dependent spatial variability observed in remote sensing data.
The unique capability of imaging spectrometry to produce detailed maps of the spatial distribution of specific minerals, mineral assemblages, and mineral variability on the surface of Earth makes it an ideal tool for enhanced geomorphic mapping.
Maps of mineral distributions, obtained by relating ASTER data to MICA analysis of field samples, were found to characterize major soil mineral variability (overall accuracies for mica, smectite and kaolinite were 76%, 89% and 86% respectively).
Variability of mineral elements in soybean grain is significant and it also depends on applied cultivation systems [16,17].
While pyrite samples were all derived from the same homogenized batch of ground and sieved mineral, the explanation for variability in the reactivity of pyrite was not determined, but hypothesized to have resulted from subtle differences in acid pretreatment conditions that affected the abundance of Fe(III) surface sites.
Secondary outcomes will evaluate changes in bone mineral density, blood glucose variability and health-related quality of life between GFD-treated and the regular diet group over a 1-year period.
It has been shown that many variables such as scanner type (e.g., 4 as compared with 16 channels), pitch, gantry rotation speed, table speed, table height, and X-ray tube temperature can affect the precision of bone mineral density measurements, and variability of 1.4 3.6% has been reported (Bligh et al, 2009).
In the subtropical gyres, where the spatial variability of mineral-associated POC export is reduced and the proportion of the POC flux associated with minerals is low, PEeff is moderate (0.05 0.15) [ Siegel et al., 2014].
Quantitative relative analysis of clay minerals displayed a large variability that was largely affected by leaching.
The differences in EC values shown here may be contributed by different amounts of minerals, organic acids, proteins, variability in floral origin, and the amount of plant pollen [ 19] for each type of honey.
Here we examine the variability in surface mineral ballast Ccs using Th-derived estimates of POC and mineral flux in the Arctic, Atlantic, and Southern Oceans (95 data points).
