TL;DR: X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a technique that allows non-destructive imaging and quantification of internal features of objects as mentioned in this paper, which can be used for the study of porosity, the relative distribution of contrasting solid phases and the penetration of injected solutions.

TL;DR: The Porcupine Basin, southwest of Ireland, was one of the earliest sites from where the deep-water corals Lophelia sp. and Madrepora sp. were recovered as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of applications and the use of dual energy density and effective atomic number characterisations are presented. But, since polychromatic X-ray sources are used, the technique is not free of artefacts.

TL;DR: Two sequential extraction schemes were developed and compared for arsenic with the aim to establish a better fractionation and recovery rate than the BCR-scheme for this element in the SRM samples.

TL;DR: In this article, a review of the different approaches as well as the main normalization methods for heavy metal concentrations in sediments and soils is discussed, where both geochemical background concentrations and added risk level (maximum permissible addition) should be taken into account for setting up legal threshold limits.
