We report the synthesis of a graphene-sulfur composite material by wrapping poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) coated submicrometer sulfur particles with mildly oxidized graphene oxide sheets decorated by carbon black nanoparticles. The PEG and graphene coating layers are important to accommodating volume expansion of the coated sulfur particles during discharge, trapping soluble polysulfide intermedi...

Landsat 8 OLI data, Aeromagnetic and Radial Vertical Electrical Sounding (RVES) survey data were integrated to map lithology, delineate structures their trends, possible mineralized zones in the area. yielded a color composite image, surface lineaments of The aeromagnetic maps utilized subsurface structures. A radial confirmed fractures derived from structural maps. Results classified area into...

While gold partitioning into hydrothermal fluids responsible for the formation of porphyry and epithermal deposits is currently well understood, its behavior during differentiation metal-rich silicate melts still subject an intense scientific debate. Typically, scavenged sulfides crustal fractionation sulfur-rich mafic to intermediate magmas development native forms alloys this important precio...

BACKGROUND Cold atmospheric plasma could constitute an alternative against multi-drug resistant pathogens. Susceptibility of enterococci to cold atmospheric plasma was investigated in vitro. METHODS 39 clinical isolates of enterococci were grouped dependent on the most important resistance patterns and treated on agar using dielectric barrier discharge plasma. These included enterococci with ...

Large-scale vertically aligned ZnO nanowires with high crystal qualities were fabricated on thin graphene oxide films via a low temperature hydrothermal method. Room temperature photoluminescence results show that the ultraviolet emission of nanowires grown on graphene oxide films was greatly enhanced and the defect-related visible emission was suppressed, which can be attributed to the improve...

Coastal areas are dynamic zones affected by natural change and human use: they contain rich resources to produce goods and services and are home to most commercial and industrial activities, as well as fragile and valuable ecosystems. A continuous monitoring activity is essential to prevent environmental threats that can be very dangerous for such a sensitive ecosystem. Satellite-borne sensors ...

The Great Basin of the Western United States has thin continental crust and geologic structures that have controlled the emplacement of significant precious and base metal mineralization. Many of the mineral deposits in the Great Basin were emplaced by hydrothermal processes that altered the mineralogy of their host rock assemblages and facilitated concentration of metals. In the 1960’s and 197...

Musi estuary is the mouth of Telang and rivers directly adjacent to Bangka Strait. During flood (ebb) we see distribution salinity increases (decreases) which known through vertical using CTD.

BACKGROUND The Seveso, Italy accident in 1976 caused the contamination of a large population by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Possible long-term effects have been examined through mortality and cancer incidence studies. We have updated the cancer incidence study which now covers the period 1977-96. METHODS The study population includes subjects resident at the time of the accide...
