Bolaang Mongondow is located on the Eastern North arm of Sulawesi. This area a Neogene-aged magmatic arc composed plutonic and volcanic rocks that indicate mineralization-bearing host rocks. The study aimed to determine geological setting alteration based observations geochemical analysis. method used mapping, followed by laboratory studio data lithology this andesite, diorite, pyroclastic brec...

This research aims to examine the relationship between hydrothermal alteration and mineralization (ore mineralogy) in study area geological structures deformation mechanism. The was determined based on petrographic analysis, ore mineralogy which microscopic analysis. mechanism is by paleo stress analysis using win-tensor, direction of principal joints/veins faults calculated right-dihedron meth...

This study aims to contribute improve the knowledge on setting of Irbiben granites, located south gold deposit this locality (Tagragra d'Akka buttonhole, Anti-Atlas, Morocco). The petrographic characterization showed leucocratic porphyry rocks, with a mineralogy dominated by quartz and phenocrysts plagioclase, alkali feldspars sometimes centimetric size as well very small sulphides metallic lus...

Biocalcification of collagen matrices with calcium phosphate and biosilicification of diatom frustules with amorphous silica are two discrete processes that have intrigued biologists and materials scientists for decades. Recent advancements in the understanding of the mechanisms involved in these two biomineralisation processes have resulted in the use of biomimetic strategies to replicate thes...

The encapsulation of individual nanoparticles has gained great attention as a method for both stabilizing nanoparticles and tailoring their surface properties. In particular, the encapsulation of nanoparticles with silica shells is advantageous for bioconjugation and applications to (nano)biotechnology. Herein we report a method for constructing gold nanoparticle (AuNP)/silica core/shell hybrid...
