a total of 40 samples from carbonates and 8 samples from silicate rocks were analyzed from the sangan iron skarn deposit to examine behavior of the oxygen and carbon isotopes. the higher values of ?18o are from metamorphic calcite and dolomite and lower ones are from granitic rocks. although the ?18o and ?13c values of calcite and dolomite in marble yield the highest values in the sangan deposi...

In general case, Chambers et al. (1976) introduced the following algorithm for simulating any stable random variables $ X/sim(alpha, beta, gamma, delta) $ with four parameters. They use a nonlinear transformation of two independent uniform random variables for simulating an stable random variable... (to continue, click here)

In this paper, we propose a new method for checking randomness of non-Gaussian stable data based on a characterization result. This method is more sensitive with respect to non-random data compared to the well-known non-parametric randomness tests.

Understanding the composition of paleodiets is crucially important for the archaeological investigation of lifeways and subsistence practices within ancient societies. Among the numerous research methods capable of investigating various elements of paleodiets, the use of stable isotope analysis has become increasingly popular. Advantages of this research technique include its ability to recogni...

The inherent sampling and preservational biases of the archaeological record make it difficult to quantify prehistoric human diets, especially in coastal settings, where populations had access to a wide range of marine and terrestrial food sources. In certain cases, geochemical proxies such as stable isotope ratios may be utilized to provide robust estimates on the relative proportions of vario...

An advantage of using LC-MS(WMS) for in vitro CYP inhibition screening is that it does not require extensive sample preparation and chromatographic separation. Attention must be paid, however, to ion suppression eŠects on analytes caused by the test compound as well as endogenous compounds. In this study, we have shown the ion suppression of 1?-hydroxymidazolam (analyte) and dextrorphan (IS) by...

Stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in bone have become increasingly frequent inclusions in archaeological reports over the past few decades. The majority of such studies has been done in North America, where the use of marine foods and the introduction of maize have been monitored. Similar questions have been addressed in Mesoamerica and South America. In Europe, stable isotope ratios...
