In 1949 John Cade, a senior medical officer of the Victorian Department of Mental Hygiene, Australia, investigated the effects of lithium carbonate and lithium citrate on the mental state of patients suffering from mania or manic depression (1). This illness is sometimes known as bipolar disorder. Lithium was regarded as a controversial medication, which had resulted in the deaths of some patie...

Rising economic value of a large number of metals as a result of their importance for new technologies and industrial development has renewed worldwide interest for mineral exploration and detailed studies of ore deposits. The Dill’s (2010) “chessboard” classification of mineral deposits is the most recent attempt to provide an exhaustive overview of all mineral deposits known to date. However,...

Abstract Knowledge of the global reservoir submarine gas hydrates is great relevance for understanding climate dynamics, geohazards, and unconventional hydrocarbon energy resources. Despite expected presence from modeling studies, land-locked Mediterranean Basin displays a lack evidence extensive hydrate samples seismic data. We modeled theoretical distribution methane below seafloor in water c...

Most of the Mediterranean coastal porous aquifers are intensively exploited. Because of climatic and anthropogenic effects, understanding the physical and geological controls on groundwater distribution and flow dynamics in such aquifers is crucial. This study presents the results of a structural investigation of a system located along the coastline of the Gulf of Lions (NW Mediterranean). A ke...

Abstract Alloy electroplating using deep eutectic solvents (DES), compared to aqueous electrolytes, has essential benefits in a wide potential range, the high solubility of metal salts (including chlorides and oxides), an environmentally friendly alternative. This research aimed compare coatings obtained by electrolysis Ni–Co alloy conventionally from solution against 2:1 ethylene glycol-cholin...

The salt play an important role in daily life and industry. There are large reserves of high - quality deposits Pakistan. But Pakistani resources have a smaller share international trade. paper analyses the current situation terms development Pakistan through SWOT analysis under perspective China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. On this basis, puts forward some countermeasures suggestions for develo...

the dehdasht bauxite deposits are located 40 km northeast of dehdasht in kohgilouye and boyer-ahmad province. it is a part of the irano-hymalayan karstic bauxite belt located in the upper part of karstic depressions of santonian-turonian sarvak carbonate formation. the aim of this study is to determine various geneses of pisoliths and prevalent processes in bauxitization. for this purpose, labo...

Abstract Hormuz salt formation is considered the origin of evaporated deposits in Zagros and its ductile behavior has been known as reason for inhomogeneous deformation Zagros. However, our knowledge about this limited to domes on surface. In study, local earthquakes recorded by a temporary dense seismological network 17 stations, deployed southern margin Simply Folded Belt (SFB) southwestern I...

Large regions of Earth's surface are underlain by salt deposits that evaporated from ancient oceans and populated extreme halophilic microbes. Some these halophiles may have been preserved over geological timescales within hypersaline fluid inclusions, but ingresses water and/or anthropogenic activities can lead to the formation alternative habitats, including NaCl stalactites or other speleoth...

Localized tephra deposition in marine sequences is the product of many complex primary and secondary depositional processes. These can significantly influence the potential applicability of tephra deposits as isochronous marker horizons and current techniques, used in isolation, may be insufficient to fully unravel these processes. Here we demonstrate the innovative application of X-ray microto...
