Statistics, Part I: First Foundation
Howard Mark and Jerome Workman Jr.
Modern statistics rests on three foundational principles. Here, we explain the first of these. But instead of getting involved in the nitty gritty of the equations, we approach this topic from the top down, concentrating on the core principles that apply to all major aspects of the use and application of statistical thought.

New ED-XRF White Paper
Mitigating Matrix Effects with Advanced Spectra Handling Functionality
A key advantage of high accuracy ED-XRF analysis is its ability to measure samples directly, with minimal preparation enabling rapid screening. For accuracy, this requires eliminating errors called matrix effects. But for consistently high-accuracy results, especially when sample contents are unknown, additional spectra handling functionality is required. This paper explains why this additional functionality is critical to ensure consistently high-accuracy results.

PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE
VT-DRIFTS Investigations of Interactions Between Benzoic Acid and Montmorillonite Clay
Dalia K. Maraoulaite, Tara M. Nickels, Audrey L. Ingram, and Robert L. White
This variable-temperature diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (VTDRIFTS) sample perturbation method is capable of providing detailed functional group–specific information regarding temperature-dependent sample composition changes. The technique should be useful for elucidating soil transport mechanisms for selected contaminants.

New Application Brief
At-Line Micronutrient Analysis Using ED-XRF Spectroscopy
The ability to conduct elemental analyses of materials at the production line is improving product quality and consistency while maximizing throughput. This is especially true in micronutrient analysis where traditional lab-based QC methods add costs and delays to processes already operating with thin margins. This paper explains how a new generation of portable lab-quality spectrometers designed to operate in a production environment is changing work processes.
