Organic compounds in atmospheric particulate matterabove Maribor were analysed in 120 samples of PM10 sampled according to the EN 12341:2014 reference method. Organic compounds compositions were investigated together with the primary and secondary sources of air pollution. Silylation as derivatisation method was used for the GC/MS determination of volatile and semi-volatile polar organic compou...

Although current collectors take up more weight than active materials in most lithium ion battery cells, so far research has been focused mainly on improving gravimetric capacities of active materials. To address this issue of improving gravimetric capacities based on overall cell components, we develop freestanding nanocomposites made of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and silicon nanowires (SiNWs) a...

Without doubt the most satisfactory procedure for the quantitative determination of small amounts of sodium is that involving its precipitation as uranyl zinc sodium acetate, (UO&ZnNa(CH,C00)9.6Hz0, first introduced by Barber and Kolthoff (2). Applications of this method to biological material have been numerous, since the triple salt is readily estimated by a variet,y of gravimetric, calorimet...

The measurements of temporal change to indoor contaminant concentrations are critical understanding pollution characteristics. As commercial sensors becoming increasingly commonplace, concentration accuracy is still a issue. most common methods for measuring particulate pollutants based on filter-based gravimetric methods. However, the method expensive, time-consuming, and often provides little...

Abstract The numerical approach for solving the fixed gravimetric boundary value problem (FGBVP) based on finite element method (FEM) with mapped infinite elements is developed and implemented. In this approach, 3D semi-infinite domain outside Earth bounded by triangular discretization of whole Earth’s surface extends to infinity. Then FGBVP consists Laplace equation unknown disturbing potentia...

Interactions between an immobilized, heparin-derived octasaccharide and growth factors have been observed using a quartz crystal microbalance-dissipation (QCM-D). This device can measure the amount of growth factors binding to the octasaccharide surface and also the change of dissipation of the surface. Dissipation is a measure of how the adhered material 'damps' the surface vibrations. The oct...

In view of the increased importance attached to the gravimetric sampling of airborne dust in mines and other working places, it was recently decided to start regular gravimetric sampling in the experimental animal dusting rooms in this Unit. As no suitable sampling instrument was available, a Hexhlet dust sampler was modified by fitting it with a probe in place of the elutriator. This instrumen...
