Copper, iron and zinc in Alzheimer's disease senile plaques
TL;DR: Concentrations of copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) were measured in the rims and cores of senile plaques (SP) and in the neuropil of the amygdala of nine Alzheimer's disease patients and in that of five neurologically normal control subjects using micro particle-induced X-ray emission (micro-PIXE).

The Guelph PIXE software package IV
TL;DR: The GUPIXWIN program as discussed by the authors has been extended with a Monte Carlo code to provide detector efficiency values that are more accurate than those of the previous approximate analytical formula, and a new batch mode facility is designed to handle two-detector PIXE, with one detector measuring major elements and the other simultaneously measuring trace elements.

Chemical composition of aerosol particles from direct emissions of vegetation fires in the Amazon Basin: water-soluble species and trace elements
TL;DR: Aerosol particles were collected in plumes of tropical forest and cerrado biomass burning fires in the Amazon Basin during August-September, 1992 as discussed by the authors, which is an important global source of aerosol particles to the atmosphere.

Quantitative trace element imaging using PIXE and the nuclear microprobe
TL;DR: The matrix transform approach called dynamic analysis (DA), which enables on‐line real‐time imaging of major and trace elements using proton‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE), and provides off‐line iterative yield corrections to these images to compensate for changing sample composition across an image area.
