The development of vascular calcification (VC) in chronic uremia (CU) is a tightly regulated process controlled by factors promoting and inhibiting mineralization. Next-generation high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) is a powerful and sensitive tool for quantitative gene expression profiling and the detection of differentially expressed genes. In the present study, we, for the first time, u...

Sources of Zn, Mn, and Cu (IZMC) as sulfates or as amino acid complexes (OZMC) were used to supplement Cobb 500 breeder hen diets. Experimental treatments consisted of diets supplemented with 1) 100, 100, and 10 mg/kg of Zn, Mn, and Cu, respectively, from IZMC (control); 2) 60, 60, and 3 mg/kg of Zn, Mn, and Cu, respectively, from IZMC plus 40, 40, and 7 mg/kg of Zn, Mn, and Cu, respectively, f...

We present high-precision chemical abrasion-isotope dilution-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (CA-IDTIMS) U-Pb zircon and isotope dilution-negative-thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-N-TIMS) Re-Os molybdenite geochronology of the world-class Tibetan Qulong porphyry Cu-Mo deposit. The data is used to constrain the timing, duration, and to yield implications for the ore-forming processe...

• Supergene copper mineralization (SCM) from Atacama Desert and SW of Burkina Faso. Paragenesis chemical characterization SCM different geodynamic context. The same mineralogy geochemical patterns are observed in both areas. REE study suggests oxidizing conditions to form supergene mineralization. Geological climatic controls involve the genesis these similar. Using optical microscopy, SEM, EPM...

The Hubi copper (cobalt) ore district, one of the largest typical examples sediment-hosted stratiform type in Zhongtiao Mountain area, is located on southern margin Trans-North China Orogen within North Craton (NCC) and has a reserve 0.79 Mt. Mineralization mainly hosted by Group, sequence metasedimentary rocks deposited from ~2168 Ma to ~2059 Ma. Subsequently, collisional orogeny (Trans-North ...

The recently discovered 460 Gaodi porphyry Mo-Cu deposit is a sub-economic characterized by low grades, dispersed mineralization, and separated Mo- Cu-ore bodies. This study aims to elucidate the factors underlying this type of mineralization. Electron-microprobe analyses biotite from ore-related granite yielded Ti-in-biotite crystallization temperatures 677–734 °C (an average 719 °C) phenocrys...
