Computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy (CCSEM) has been assessed for the determination of form and size distribution of heavy metals in urban contaminated soils. Metal distributions within individual particles were determined using X-ray element mapping. The sites selected for study were (1) around a landfill site, previously a colliery in Wolverhampton, UK and (2) a private garden adjacent to a railway in Nottingham, UK. Backscattered thresholding techniques were used to isolate the Pb-containing categories. The classification results for both Wolverhampton and Nottingham soils were generally similar but more Pb-containing classes were observed for the Nottingham samples when a comparison was made between results of the same size fractions. However, difficulties with the technique arose when particles showing chemically similar weathering crusts were assigned to the same class, despite having different internal compositions. The CCSEM data therefore need to be interpreted with caution and their application limited to situations in which particle internal complexity is not an issue.

AbstractMicrofossils are a powerful tool in earth sciences, and they have been widely used for the determination of geological age and in paleoenvironmental studies. However, the identification of fossil species requires considerable time and labor by experts with extensive knowledge and experience. In this study, we successfully automated the acquisition of microfossil data using an artificial intelligence system that employs a computer-controlled microscope and deep learning methods. The system was used to calculate changes in the relative abundance (%) of Cycladophora davisiana, a siliceous microfossil species (Radiolaria) that is widely used as a stratigraphic tool in studies on Pleistocene sediments in the Southern Ocean. The estimates obtained using this system were consistent with the results obtained by a human expert (< ± 3.2%). In terms of efficiency, the developed system was capable of performing the classification tasks approximately three times faster than a human expert performing the same task.

AbstractA computer-controlled high temperature Guinier diffractometer system for accurate determination of lattice thermal expansion is described. A critical test of the system using α-Al2O3 (0.3μ polishing alumina) showed close agreement with the single crystal expansion data of Wachtman et al. Lattice thermal expansion of cordierite doped with the following dopants: Ge+4, P+5, Zn+2, Li+1 and Ca+2 was investigated. Of these the Li+1 at the 5% level (5% of Si+4 replaced by Li+1 + Al+3) produced the largest decrease in mean lattice expansion.

A high temperature stage was designed for mounting onto a computer controlled four circle X-ray texture goniometer. This technique allowed to conduct in situ texture measurement, i.e. the determination of the texture evolution during rather than subsequent to annealing. The device was employed for temperatures up to 1000°C.The furnace consisted of a resistance wire of Pt30Rh, which was isolated against the specimen with Al2O3 glue. The furnace with the specimen was covered by a hemispherical KaptonTM foil. Inside the hemisphere a reducing gas atmosphere was used to avoid oxidation of the sample surface.
