To clear a mine, a worker waves a metal detector over the ground until it buzzes, then uses a metal rod to probe -- gently -- from the side, and then a trowel to uncover it.
This summer they moved farther down the road, using thin steel rods to probe the soil.
The results showed that the correlation between the apparent dielectric constant measured with a standard three-rod TDR probe and the zigzag-shaped TDR probe, both immersed in five different non-conductive fluids, was excellent (R2 = 0.99).
Most gum was dug from the ground using gum-spears (pointed rods to probe for gum) and "skeltons", defined as blade-edged spades for cutting through old wood and roots as well as soil.
Parallel two-rod TDR probes inserted horizontally at a depth of 10 cm were used to monitor the soil's impedance during transport of the KCl solute pulse.
The site was initially found with metal detectors and by using metal rods as probes.
The bones were found using metal detectors and metal rods as probes.
The herein introduced protocol of purifying SNAP tag modified septins from E.coli allowed us to derivatize the obtained septin rods with probes for the further in vitro characterization of this class of cytoskeletal elements.
The effects of nanoparticle geometry and assay platform on the protease assay were investigated and the best working combination of the parameters was selected as rod shaped SERS probe and gold-coated glass slide.
A 10-g weight was placed on top of the probe rod.
The samples softened as the temperature approached the well-established melting point, at around 170 °C, which was evidenced by a very distinct, rapid drop of the probe rod into sample as it melted.
