The stability of Hg in an acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene disk certified reference material (ABS disk CRM, NMIJ CRM 8116-a) during measurements by wavelength dispersion X-ray fluorescence (WD-XRF) analysis was evaluated in this study. The XRF intensities of Hg (L(α)) and Pb (L(α)) as well as the XRF intensity ratios of Hg (L(α))/Pb (L(α)) observed under different X-ray tube current conditions a...

Micro-XRF is a significant tool for the analysis of small regions. A micro-X-ray beam can be created in the laboratory by various focusing X-ray optics. Previously, nondestructive 3D-XRF analysis had not been easy because of the high penetration of fluorescent X-rays emitted into the sample. A recently developed confocal micro-XRF technique combined with polycapillary X-ray lenses enables depth...

OBJECTIVES Biodegradable poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) fixators used in the repair of meniscal tears may cause adverse reactions inside the knee due to delayed degradation. This study was designed to determine the reasons for late degradation of PLLA fixators. METHODS Three unused and three used meniscal PLLA fixators (BioStinger) were analyzed. The latter were removed from three patients due to ...

Background and objective:FAM20A gene mutations result in enamel renal syndrome (ERS) associated with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI), nephrocalcinosis, gingival fibromatosis, and impaired tooth eruption. FAM20A would control the phosphorylation of enamel peptides and thus enamel mineralization. Here, we characterized the structure and chemical composition of unerupted tooth enamel from ERS patient...

Characterization and identification of Maitara Island clay have been carried out. This study aims to determine the types minerals contained in clay. The analytical methods used include X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) chemical composition clay, Diffraction (XRD) for mineralogical analysis Fourier Transmission Infra Red (FTIR) vibrations that exist between atoms from Island, Scanning Electron Microscopy...

X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry has been used by the oil industry since the 1950s. XRF can be found supporting activities in exploration, production, research as well as intellectual properties. Traditional applications for XRF were the analysis of single element or a limited range of multiple elements. Today, XRF encompasses high precision full spectral elemental profiles along with high...

This paper reports findings from an AHRC-funded project into the use of more than one language in research projects. Using 35 seminar presentations and 25 researcher profiles, we investigated how researchers from differing disciplines became aware of the possibilities, complexities, and emerging practices of researching where more than one language is used: for example, in initial research desi...

Variations of heavy metals concentrations (Pb, Zn, Ni and Cd) in suspended matter as well as the physical properties (temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and pH) at five coastal sites and one reference station (offshore) were measured on seasonal base of the year 2005. Seasonal variations of seawater temperature, salinity, pH and dissolved oxygen were significant different, meanwhile; spati...
