The melt viscosity (η) of anhydrous and hydrous peridotite was investigated using a multipronged approach combining micropenetration viscometry, conventional DSC, flash DSC Brillouin spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy measurements were used to verify the absence crystallization and/or degassing during high-temperature these extremely reactive glasses melts, ensuring that data corresponded crystal...

Tungsten oxide is a widely used electrochromic material with important applications in variable-transmittance smart windows as well other optoelectronic devices. Here we report on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy applied to hydrous tungsten films wide range of potentials. The were able reversibly bleach and color upon cycling. Interestingly, the bleaching potential was found be significan...

The largest of the gene clusters coding for proteins involved in methanol oxidation is the cluster mxaFJGIR(S)ACKLDEHB. Disruption of most of these genes leads to lack of growth on methanol. The previous results showed that the mutant lacking MxaD grows on methanol although at a low rate. This is explained by the low rate of methanol oxidation by whole cells. The specific activity of methanol d...

background: herbal distillates had been used for many centuries as herbal medicine in traditional persian medicine. recently, some studies claimed the presence of methanol in different types of herbal distillates which can cause different complications or even death as methanol is highly toxic. the main purpose of this study was to determine methanol content in the commonly-used industrial herb...
