Details

In this work the concentrations of the major elements (as oxides) are given in wt%. The concentrations of all other elements are given in ug/g (ppm) or ng/g (ppb). For the sake of unity the values given in ppb where converted to ppm using ppm= ppb/1000.
The listed values for the major elements (oxides) are in wt% and all other elements are given in ppm. Heat production is given in mW/m^3.
