I am a bit confusing to decide to calculate the concentration of heavy
metals on the basis of wet weight or dry weight. For me, it seems that
dry weight is more appropriate than wet weight basis because it is
less variable and less depend on water content. However, my supervisor
had different opinion. Anyone out there can help me to solve this
problem? Please tell me which standard book should I also read to
clarify this. Thank so so so much for your time and kind help!

Cheers,
Hund

CML (Chemical Markup Language) is a new approach to managing molecular
information using recently developed Internet tools such as XML and
Java. It is based strictly on SGML, the most robust and widely used
system for precise information management in many areas. It has been
developed over several years and has been tested in many areas and on
a variety of machines.

that recent criticism of McCain by the Sierra Club and others has been
