X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) techniques probe short- and medium-range order‚ yielding information on bond lengths‚ coordination numbers‚ local coordination geometry and the oxidation state of atoms for a wide range of solid and liquid systems. XAS experiments require an intense‚ tunable photon source only available at synchrotrons. Features • medium and high energy (from atomic number Z=20 upwards) XAS‚ XANES (x-ray absorption near-edge structure)

1. With which of the international competitors listed in the case is it most interesting to compare Inditex’s financial results? What do comparisons indicate about Inditex’s relative operating economics? Its relative capital efficiency? Even though H&M follows a strategy which differs significantly from Inditex’s approach it is the closest competitor from the financial point of view. H&M differs from Zara because it outsources all of the production‚ it is more price oriented and spends

Micro-Raman Spectroscopy Raman spectroscopy is a micro-analytical method that showed many advantages in analysis of cultural heritage materials. It is a form of vibrational spectroscopy that allows the identification of particles in homogeneous materials in the micron order. The identification is employed on the basis of the molecular vibrational spectra of samples‚ obtained by excitation with visible laser light. In micro-Raman spectroscopy‚ the laser beam is focused by means of a microscope

CC Bright red blood per rectum. Sinus pressure‚ sore throat. S The patient is a 62-year-old female who tells me that about a week ago she noticed bright red blood per rectum. She states she had a fairly normal stool‚ which was brown in color followed by drops of bright red blood into the toilet. She is quite certain this came from her rectum and not her vagina. She states the next day there was even a little bit more blood‚ and the third day continued. She then had several days where she did

Green Technology: Future of power generation NEED FOR GREEN TECHNOLOGY Recently concluded Copenhagen conference on climate change and green house emission expressed concern over the amount of CO2 being released. This would in turn heat up the atmosphere and cause global warming that will result in the melting of glaciers and hence the sea level will rise that is a threat to several coastal cities of the world. So one can imagine how the amount of CO2 emissions can cause problems of displacing

Mass Determination of Ca‚ Fe and Zn in a multivitamin using Atomic Absorbance Spectroscopy (AAS) and X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy (XRF) ABSTRACT: The purpose of this project was to determine the amount of calcium‚ iron and zinc present in an over the counter multivitamin. This mass was determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF). For both analytical techniques‚ the method of standard additions was used to compensate for matrix effects.

this essay‚ I will briefly review the history‚ definition of Green IT‚ approaches to implement green IT with examples‚ benefits and costs of Green IT. History and Definition of Green IT History of Green IT started with energy star program in 1992 which was designed to encourage and recognize the energy efficiency in the monitors and printing product. Green IT was emerged shortly after the energy star program and the goals of green IT are to reduce the use of hazardous materials‚ maximize energy

What is green building? As the global climate warming‚ more and more people focus on building energy efficiency. There is more awareness that CO2 produced by building energy use is the main source of climate warming. Energy-saving buildings become inevitable trend of development‚ the green building also arises in time. Green building can be define as to the construction of the whole life cycle‚ for maximize resource conservation (epa.gov‚ 19/12/2012). It includes energy saving‚ land saving‚ water
