Body Mass Bias Mitigation for Females in Military Physical Readiness Testing through Load Carriage Implementation
… test currently being used has been shown to have bias towards heavier mass individuals of up to 20%. Prior research has been completed and several recommendations have been made to eliminate mass bias, but this has been conducted almost exclusively on males. There is very little data and research …

Oxygen and hydrogen isotopic analysis of tourmaline by secondary ion mass spectrometry
… correct for both matrix effects and instrumental mass fractionation (IMF), collectively termed instrumental mass bias (IMB). For certain mineral groups (e.g. tourmalines), there are large variations in major element composition between species. This study uses three of these tourmaline species …

Fundamental Studies of Femtosecond Laser Interactions with Solids and Their Applications to Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry for Environmental Analysis
Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) has been successfully applied in many research areas. Compared to conventional analytical techniques, it has the advantages of minimum sample preparation and high spatial resolution capabilities. Elemental and isotopic …

Galactic dynamics : multiple tracers and gravitational lensing
… galaxy gravitational lenses are devised and the mass-bias underliying some common assumptions in the literature is quantified. Second, when studying the Globular Cluster (GC) system of the nearby Elliptical M87, this new approach yields information on the GC subpopulations, the luminous mass and …

Cosmology from galaxy clusters with cosmic microwave background lensing mass calibration
… (CMB) lensing calibration of the cluster masses. As demonstrated by Planck, galaxy clusters detected through their SZ signature offer a powerful way to constrain cosmological parameters such as Ωm, which parametrises the mean matter density of the Universe, and σ8, which characterises the …

UNCERTAINTY CONTRIBUTIONS TO SPECIES SPECIFIC ISOTOPE DILUTION ANALYSIS
… and quadrupole (Q) inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) for species specific isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS). 199Hg enriched methylmercurychloride has been synthesised and recovered in the solid form for use as a spike material. The stability of methylmercury during …

On the evolution of gaseous haloes in cosmological simulations of galaxy formation
… resolution in gaseous haloes. Applied to a massive cluster progenitor, I found significant increases in cold gas mass in filaments and clumps, leading to more widespread star formation. In the hot halo there is a notable boost in turbulent velocities, leading to a doubling of non-thermal …
