Automated particle analysis of D.B. Cooper's tie
Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Automated particle analysis (APA) using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy‐dispersive x‐ray spectrometry (EDS) is a well‐known method in forensics, especially as it is applied to gunshot residue analysis. Here we describe the analysis of particles lifted from D.B. Cooper's tie, which was left on the hijacked plane in 1971.

Uranium-lead dating method at the Pará-Iso isotope geology laboratory, UFPA, Belém - Brazil
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2007 Analytical procedures for U-Pb isotope dilution analyses at the Pará-Iso isotope geology laboratory of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) are described in detail. The procedures are applied to zircon, titanite, rutile, apatite, columbite-tantalite and

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

New U-Pb zircon data for Maarianvaara granite and Tohmajärvi volcanic complex, eastern Finland: geologic implications [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of FinlandNew U-Pb zircon ages reported for samples from the Maarianvaara granite and Tohmajärvi volcanic complex (TVC) corroborate previous estimates of their magmatic emplacement at ca. 1.85 Ga and 2.11 Ga, respectively. The ca.

ReMoDe – Recursive modality detection in distributions of ordinal data
British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract The detection of the number of modes in distributions of ordinal data is relevant for applied researchers across disciplines, from uncovering polarization to detecting incidence groups in clinical symptom scales. Yet, established modality detection methods are either purely descriptive or not developed for ordinal data.

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.Key Points Measurement of 86Sr at count rates < 1500 cps can result in statistical bias. Non‐linear signals in analogue detection mode (e.g., Rb) present a challenge for accurately dating high 87Rb/86Sr mica (> 1000). Accounting for these considerations, high 87Rb/86Sr mica are dated here with accuracies of ∼ 1%.

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.Key Points 7 μm spot‐diameter LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS analyses yield accurate zircon U‐Pb ages. 1013 Ω amplifier resistors improve low‐signal Pb measurements. Saturn correction protocols minimise down‐hole fractionation effects. We present a systematic evaluation of high spatial‐resolution zircon U‐Pb dating using a Thermo Scientific Neoma multi‐collector ICP‐MS ...

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.Key Points Higher laser repetition rate, fluence and larger spot size increase signal intensity. Higher laser repetition rate produces overlaps in aerosolised particles, improving signal stability and precision. For Sr‐rich materials, moderate spot diameter (≤ 60 μm), 3 J cm‐2 fluence and ≥ 12 Hz repetition rate are recommended.
