Meteorological and water quality data were collected in offshore nearshore settings over 4 years the oligotrophic–mesotrophic Owasco Seneca Lakes order to assess cyanobacteria bloom (CyanoHABs) spatial temporal variability precursor meteorological conditions. CyanoHABs detected from August through mid-October both lakes. Blooms temporally spatially isolated, i.e., rarely concurrently at 3 (4.2%...

Carbonatites host Earth’s main REE deposits, with bastnaesite (LREE)CO 3 F being the economic REE-bearing mineral. However, mineralisation processes are debated between hydrothermal or magmatic origin. This study aims to assess if can be magmatic, and characterise behaviour during carbonatite crystallisation. Crystallisation experiments have been performed from 900 600 °C at 1 kbar, on a REE-ri...

a study was conducted on six years old trees of almond, shahroud cv. (no. 18), in a three-year trial (2002-04) at mashhad agricultural research station. the experiment was done on the basis of completely randomized desigh with four replications. in the first and second years of the experiment, ethephon was sprayed in 15 and 20 days before the common time of harvesting, respectively. the concent...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVES The buccal mucosa presents a unique surface for non-invasive drug delivery and also avoids first-pass metabolism. The objective of this study was the formulation development of polymeric mucoadhesive lyophilized wafers as a matrix for potential buccal drug delivery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to develop an optimum freeze-cycle...

High-quality records of hydroclimate variability in central Mexico during the last 2000 years are necessary to better understand human–environment interactions Mesoamerica. Of particular interest climatic conditions Epiclassic period (ad 600–900), as droughts have been associated with a cultural demise occurring around ad 900–1000. We reconstruct history based on sediment record from drought-se...

Highly crystal textured copper ferrite films have been grown on s100d MgO substrates using pulsed laser deposition. Deposition temperatures were varied from 600–900 °C, with deposition oxygen pressure varied from 1 mTorr to 120 mTorr. Saturation magnetization was measured to increase monotonically with substrate temperature approaching the bulk value of 1700 G near 900 °C. Magnetization was als...

Precipitation of γ’ phase in nickel-base superalloy IN792-5A was studied using in-situ Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS). It was found that additional precipitates are formed after reheating above 600 ̋C when the material is previously fast cooled (100 K/min) from 900 ̋C. The size distribution and volume fraction of the additional γ’ precipitates as well as of the already present medium-siz...
