Human Keratinocyte ATP2C1 Localizes to the Golgi and Controls Golgi Ca2+ Stores

“…Data were reduced o¡-line so that X-ray spectra from subregions could be extracted from each irradiated region. X-ray spectra were analyzed with the PIXE spectrum ¢tting code (Antolak and Bench, 1994). Thin-¢lm calibration standards containing Ca 2 þ were used to measure the e⁄ciency of the X-ray.…”

Pass (Pixe Analysis Shell Software): A Computer Utility Program for the Evaluation of Pixe Spectra

“…PIXEF emulates GUPIX in its attention to detector lineshape, using Voigtians instead of Gaussians and adding low-energy tailing features. 4 The PIXAN package was developed 23 years ago in Australia for the purpose of determining X-ray spectral peak areas and hence elemental concentrations in samples undergoing analysis by the method of proton-induced X-ray emission. It has a spectrum fitting module (BATTY) 5 and a separate module (THICK) which computes X-ray yields from thick targets irradiated by proton.…”

“…PIXEF (for PIXE-fit): the Livermore PIXE spectrum analysis package has been developed by Antolak and Bench (1994). However, the procedure for analysis is the same as described earlier.…”
