In order to track the decomposition reactions of the electrolyte components, the cells were run for a fixed number of cycles, after which they were opened and the remaining electrolyte was extracted with an excess amount of 1,4-dioxane.
Another tracked the decomposition of a Halloween jack-o'-lantern in a series of two dozen photos, the last depicting little more than a pile of mush.
The narrative then unfolds along several strands: one tracks the bodies' decomposition, another spools backward through the couple's final day and a third recalls their initial meeting on the same dunes 30 years earlier.
Using microbial community change to track the progression of decomposition may circumvent many of these limitations because microbes are ubiquitous in the environment, located on humans before death, and can be reliably quantified using high-throughput DNA sequencing.
While one strand of the narrative tracks the dead couple's decomposition, another spools back through the day of their death, dramatizing first their murder, then their trip to the dunes and so on, while another follows the progress of their initial meeting, 30 years earlier, on these same dunes while doing fieldwork.
Alkyl cadmium is air sensitive, pyrophoric, very reactive, and not easily observed directly, so to verify the thermal decomposition of cadmium octanoate (Fig. 4b), we tracked the formation of CO2.
Plus,Science's Emily Underwood wades into the muddled world of migraine research, and Jessica Metcalf talks about using modern microbial means to track mammalian decomposition.
The objective of this study was to track decomposition of 13C-labeled Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb).
By the decomposition, the proposed tracking control scheme avoids solving regulation equations and can tackle the tracking (rejection) problem in the presence of any external signal (except for the frequencies at±1) generated by a marginally stable autonomous LTI system.
The decomposition sub-model tracks turnover of soil organic matters that produce CO2 emitted from the soil as well as inorganic nitrogen released from mineralisation.
