Source feature

Martian mantle noble gases. Martian meteorites contain components other than those derived directly from the atmosphere (see detailed discussion by Swindle (2002)). Information on the relative abundances of the heavier noble gases in the mantle (Ott, 1988 Mathew and Marti, 2001) suggests that the " Kr/ Xe ratio is at least 10 times lower than both the martian atmosphere and the solar composition. If this is truly a source feature, it indicates that heavy noble gases trapped within the planet suffered substantially different elemental fractionation than the atmosphere (see Chapter 4.12) and have not subsequently formed a dominant fraction of the atmosphere. However, it is not possible at present to conclusively determine whether the measured elemental abundance ratios reflect an interior reservoir that was initially different from atmospheric noble gases, rather than due either to planetary processing or transport and incorporation into the samples. 

The high- and low-pj signatures appear to have been maintained through the history of the different Archaean areas, and it has been argued above that these are source features. Their survival, at least until late Archaean time, implies that they existed in reservoirs protected from the effects of mantle convection (e.g. Davies 1992), and the two most obvious sites are the D" layer and shallow-level reservoirs such as the lithosphere. The former is often invoked as a source of mantle plrnnes, but to maintain particular isotope signatures within specific areas may require that the dominant contributions were from shallower levels. Moreover, these distinctive Pb isotope ratios are preserved in the felsic, as well... 

The source line will either have the common name for the organism or its scientific name. Older records may contain other soiuce information (see below) in this field. A concerted effort is now under way to assme that all other information present in the somce feature (as opposed to the somce line) and all lines in the taxonomy block (somce and organism lines) can be derived from what is in the source feature... 

The Source Feature. The source feature is the only feature that must be present on all GenBank records. All features have a series of legal qualifiers, some of which are mandatory (e.g., /organism for source). All DNA sequence records have some origin, even if synthetic in the extreme case. In most cases, there will be a single source feature, and it will contain the /organism. Flere is what we have in the example from Appendix 3.1 ...

Though cold FE sources feature a higher brightness and smaller spot size than a Schottky FE source, they are not as preferred due to their relatively noisy emissimi profile. This beam instability arises from the Brownian motion of adsorbed residual gases on the surface of the narrow tip. Though electron microscopes are operated... 

While the practical application of IRMPD spectroscopy to mass-selected molecular ions had thus been shown, its widespread use as a structural tool in irai chemistry was impeded by the limited tunability of the CO2 laser and the absence of other useful laser sources featuring a high power and wide tunability across the IR spectrum. The interest in IRMPD spectroscopy of gaseous ions revived around the mm of the millennium, when IR free electron lasers (FELs) as well as novel high pulse-energy OPOs were coupled with ion storage tandem mass spectrometers. 

Sources featuring good frequency and intensity stability are necessary to recover a reliable decay curve. The time resolution of the equipment is affected by time duration of the pulse and by time resolution of the oscilloscope. At present, a time resolution of about 20 ns can be achieved. 

This poses a special problem because the source of the electromagnetic field may lie outside the defined boundaries of the system. A detailed discussion of this is outside the scope of this section, but the basic features can be briefly sunnnarized. 

Depending on the relative phase difference between these temis, one may observe various experimental spectra, as illustrated in figure Bl.5.14. This type of behaviour, while potentially a source of confiision, is familiar for other types of nonlinear spectroscopy, such as CARS (coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering) [30. 31] and can be readily incorporated mto modelling of measured spectral features. 

A connnon feature of all mass spectrometers is the need to generate ions. Over the years a variety of ion sources have been developed. The physical chemistry and chemical physics communities have generally worked on gaseous and/or relatively volatile samples and thus have relied extensively on the two traditional ionization methods, electron ionization (El) and photoionization (PI). Other ionization sources, developed principally for analytical work, have recently started to be used in physical chemistry research. These include fast-atom bombardment (FAB), matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) and electrospray ionization (ES). 

It is regretted that the size of the volume has rendered the insertion of literature references impossible the Selected Bibliography (A,5) may partly compensate for this omission. Section numbers are now included in the headings of the pages—a feature introduced in response to requests by many readers. The volume comprises virtually at least three books under one cover, viz., experimental technique, preparations, and qualitative organic analysis. It should therefore continue to be of value as a one volume reference work in the laboratory. Students at all levels will find their requirements for laboratory work (excluding quantitative organic analysis) adequately provided for and, furthermore, the writer hopes that the book will be used as a source of information to supplement their theoretical studies.

The control chart is set up to answer the question of whether the data are in statistical control, that is, whether the data may be retarded as random samples from a single population of data. Because of this feature of testing for randomness, the control chart may be useful in searching out systematic sources of error in laboratory research data as well as in evaluating plant-production or control-analysis data. ... 

In principle, the relaxation spectrum H(r) describes the distribution of relaxation times which characterizes a sample. If such a distribution function can be determined from one type of deformation experiment, it can be used to evaluate the modulus or compliance in experiments involving other modes of deformation. In this sense it embodies the key features of the viscoelastic response of a spectrum. Methods for finding a function H(r) which is compatible with experimental results are discussed in Ferry s Viscoelastic Properties of Polymers. In Sec. 3.12 we shall see how a molecular model for viscoelasticity can be used as a source of information concerning the relaxation spectrum.
