The sampling methods are discussed as ...
This article provides a review of scientific and technical literature published in the past 5 yr pertaining to sampling and analytical methodologies for the determination and chemical speciation of TPM in ambient air. Sampling methods discussed include the conventional filtration method and the diffusion ...
4 Alternative methodologies for aerosol analysis Much of the previous discussion is focused on the statistical nature of discrete particles and how aerosol sampling couples to the finite laser-induced plasma volume. While successful strategies for direct aerosol analysis were enumerated, including single-...
analytical methodologies for the determination and chemical speciation of TPM in ambient air. Sampling methods discussed include the conventional filtration method and the diffusion denuder-based technique. Analytical techniques, such as gold-amalgamation/cold-vapor spectrometry, and nuclear methods, are ...
Episodes of high concentrations of VOCs lasting only a few minutes cannot be achieved due to limitations regarding the limit of detection (lod) of analytical methodologies. It has to take into account that these episodes are in the range of μg m−3, even for high VOC episodic events, as...

A number of traditional and novel Monte Carlo (MC) methodologies for configurational sampling in condensed phases are studied. The stochastic motion of a spherical solute molecule in a melt of short polyethylene chains is used as a model problem to assess the efficiency of the MC algorithms. ...

Although, descriptions of complete methodologies and procedures are often lacking, these data describe how sampling was conducted during the Soviet era and document a site with severe heavy metals contamination, especially lead, and the likelihood of related public health problems. They are relevant ...
For researchers, it is pertinent to find sampling methodologies which can derive relevant results in these conditions. High quality nationally representative surveys like the Demographic and Household Surveys (DHS) use sampling methods that are time-consuming and expensive, and thus, not suitable for ...
