Sample Report

Any symbols used in a table should be defined previously in the text. In a column of numbers, align the decimal points and use a zero before the point for numbers less than 1 (i.e., use 0.39 rather than. 39). If the numerical values are very large or very small, use an appropriate multiple of 10 in the heading 10 (bar) or p (milhbar) are attractive for pressures such asp = 0.00872 bar, since the entry becomes 8.72. Or one would use 10 (bar) 

A general discussion of the graphical treatment of experimental data is given in Chapter II. As part of that discussion, the proper technique for plotting experimental data is fully described for both computer-generated plots and any that may be prepared manually. 

The vertical and horizontal axes must be labeled with the appropriate symbols or words and the units indicated in parentheses for example, T (°C), t(s), A (cm ), density (g cm ). Often it is appropriate to add a smooth curve representing an equation arising from theory. The equation itself (if simple) or the number by which it is designated in the text must be given beside the theory crave. It is good practice to indicate directly on the figrrre the ntrmerical values of any slopes, intercepts, areas, maxima, or other featrrres that are important in the calcrrlatiorrs. 

If a figrrre has been computer generated, many of the above concerrts may have been resolved automatically by the software plotting package. The user shotrld, however, be aware that the default plot scales are often not ideal. Most plot programs allow the user to control the aspect ratio, the scale ranges, and the shape of the symbols. You must also make sure that the plotted variables are correctly specified and their units clearly indicated. 

Each figure must have a figure number and a short legend prominently displayed, and it should be referred to by number iu the body of the report.

Approximate Values in Units of Percent The particle size distribution in a total dust sample is unknown and error in the XRD analysis may be greater than for respirable samples. Therefore, for total dust samples, an approximate result is given. (4) Nondetected A sample reported as nondetected indicates that the quantity of quartz (or cristobalite) present in the sample is not greater than the... 

The visual field inspection of derrick or mast and substructure procedure is recommended for use by operating personnel (or a designated representative) to the extent that its use satisfies conditions for which an inspection is intended. A sample report form for this inspection procedure can be found in API Standard 4F. Forms are also available from International Association of Drilling Contractors (lADC). 

Copies of the final sampling reports must be submitted to the headquarters of JPPA and two analytical laboratories, immediately after the trial is finished. The original of the final sampling report should be archived at the trial site. 

The applicants will submit the reports of the final sampling and the analytical result to MAFF. The final sampling report must contain the following items ...

The samples reported in Table II carried a very low residue level of selenium on and in the peel. The average value of 0.001 p.p.m. for the thirty samples was less than the variation within varieties and less than the variation between duplicates. The selenium residue of 0.001 p.p.m., the average, can be considered as a possible trace of selenium on and in the peel. 

To establish the level of selenium on and in the peel of selenium-sprayed apples, samples were collected from five commercial Jonathan apple orchards and eight commercial Delicious apple orchards by representatives of the packing warehouses and submitted to the laboratory for analysis. The sampling and analytical procedure used for these samples was identical to that used for the samples reported in Table II. Sufficient fruit was available for duplicate analysis of most of the samples. 

The mass balance for carbon during dry oxidation of bitumen in our calorimeter can be calculated from the above results in combination with some of our chemical results for oxidized samples reported elsewhere ( 2). This mass balance is summarized in Table IV, where the following relationships have been used ... 

The primary attraction of CL detection of inorganic compounds is the excellent sensitivity that can be obtained over a wide dynamic range using simple instruments. A detection limit of 40 pg/mL gold in ore samples reported by us is a striking example to indicate the advantage of CL detection [1],... 

Fig. 2 represents the variation of pH in refrigeration conditions (4°C) and at 20°C (average regional temperature). The samples had initial pH in the range 2.7-3.2. For both situations, the samples reported a decrease in pH. Nevertheless, pH was more stable with refrigeration, except for samples with initial pH between 3.0 and 3.1. In fact these were the more unstable samples in both conditions.

Hexachloroethane was detectable in 2.0% of 1,253 effluent samples reported in the storage and retrieval (STORET) database maintained by EPA from 1980 to 1982 (Staples et al. 1985). The median concentration for all samples, including nondetects, was <10 gg/L. 

Hexachloroethane has not generally been reported in foods. Hexachloroethane was not detected in 116 fish samples reported in the STORET database (Staples et al. 1985), nor was it detected in 28 fish samples from 14 Lake Michigan tributaries (Camanzo et al. 1987). However, hexachloroethane was detected in 10 of 10 Lake Ontario rainbow trout at an average concentration of 0.03 ng/g (Oliver and Niimi 1983). No information was located regarding hexachloroethane in other foods. 

The results can be reported in the conventional delta notation of stable isotopes, which is the relative deviation in parts per one thousand of a given isotopic ratio in a sample with respect to the same ratio in a standard sample. Reporting results in the epsilon notation (in parts per 10,000 as in Zhu et al. 2000, 2002) may seem legitimate, but so far stable isotope data have overwhelmingly been reported in per mil and competing notations are a source of confusion. 

Biotoxins, mainly of the spirolide family, have been principally monitored in shellfish samples. Reported toxin levels vary from 2-585 ng/g [206] to 11-7,950 ng/g [205] in shellfish from France and Italy, respectively, whereas reported values for Spanish mussels were in the range of 13-20 ng/g [82]. This study employed the use of different MS modes of operation, enhanced MS (EMS) and MS3 experiments in order to confirm the first occurrence of spirolides in Spanish shellfish. Okadaic acids were the principal toxin contaminants found in shellfish samples from Galicia, Spain, with levels reaching 2,012 ng/g [204]. Putative palytoxin was for the first time detected in Italian waters at levels of 1,350 ng for plankton pellet) and 1,950 ng for butanol extract thus, it was suggested to be the causative agent responsible for the Genoa 2005 outbreak showing respiratory Ulness in people exposed to marine aerosols [31]. 

The median concentrations of MEP in urine samples reported by China and Taiwan are much lower than the median concentration reported in the US population [148]. Concentrations of MiBP reported by the US [148] are about 16-fold lower than those reported by Germany [28] and China [16]. The exposure to DEHP appears nearly similar in the US, Germany, and China, while the exposure to DiNP is higher in US [146] than in German populations [28, 150].

Hexachlorobutadiene adsorbs to sediments in contaminated water. Sediments from the Niagara River were found to contain 2.9-11 ig/kg (Oliver and Charlton 1984). Sediments from the Great Lakes were reported to contains levels of hexachlorobutadiene typically ranging from 0.08 to 120 i g/kg (Fox et al. 1983 Oliver and Bourbonniere 1985 Oliver and Charlton 1984). Data regarding the levels of hexachlorobutadiene in soils were not located. Hexachlorobutadiene was not detectable in any of 196 sediment samples reported on the STORE database (Staples et al. 1985). The median detection limit was <500 ppb. 

Samples reported by Schellmann (1969) from the sediments in the Gulf of Guinea were analyzed at grain edges and centers. These pellets have not completed the evolution toward a single-phase 7 8 mineral.
