A high fidelity distributed plant simulation technique includes a plurality of separate simulation modules that may be stored and executed separately in different drops or computing devices. The simulation modules communicate directly with one another to perform accurate simulation of a plant, without requiring a centralized coordinator to coordinate the operation of the simulation system. In particular, numerous simulation modules are created, with each simulation module including a model of an associated plant element and these simulation modules are stored in different drops of a computer network to perform distributed simulation of a plant or a portion of a plant. At least some of the simulation modules, when executing, perform mass flow balances taking into account process variables associated with adjacent simulation modules to thereby assure pressure, temperature and flow balancing (i.e., conservation of mass flow) through the entire simulation system. In a dynamic situation, a transient mass storage relay technique is used to account for transient changes in mass flow through any non-storage devices being simulated by the simulation modules. Moreover, adjacent simulation modules located in different drops communicate directly with one another using a background processing task, which simplifies communications between adjacent simulation modules without the need for a central coordinator.

A measure of abundance is determined for an element or element combination within a sample, the element or element combination having at least one isotopic variant. An isotopic mass spectral pattern is identified for the element or element combination that indicates an expected abundance and expected mass-to-charge ratio difference for each isotopic variant. These are identified relative to the respective abundance and mass-to-charge ratio of a principal isotope. The isotopic mass spectral pattern is compared with mass spectral data from a molecular mass analysis of the sample to identify peak groups, each matching the isotopic mass spectral pattern. A measure of abundance is determined for the element or element combination as a function of the intensity measurement of one or more peaks from each of the identified peak groups.
