the geothermal phenomena in the area nearby the euganean hills (near padua, in italy) areknown and exploited for therapeutic purposes since ancient times, and recently also for aesthetic purposes.this paper presents the first characterization of the radionuclides content in the euganean thermal waters and mud, extended to a great number of spas. in particular the radionuclides content of both t...

Environmental dusts settle on surfaces and influence the performance of concentrated solar energy harvesting devices, such as aluminum troughs. The characteristics of environmental dust and the effects of mud formed from the dust particles as a result of water condensing in humid air conditions on an aluminum wafer surface are examined. The dissolution of alkaline and alkaline earth compounds i...

cmc polymer is used as an additive to decrease water loss and mud-cake-thickness in mud drilling. in this study, the effect of cmc and cmc nanoparticles on water loss and mud-cake-thickness in mud drilling is investigated. cmc nanoparticles are made by using of ball milling and their size is measured by particle size analyzer. cmc and cmc nanoparticles which were prepared by hamilton batch mixe...

Abstract Many features indicative of natural gas and oil leakage are delineated in the deep-water Orange Basin offshore South Africa using 3D reflection seismic data. These influenced by translational compressional domains an underlying Upper Cretaceous fold-and-thrust belt (DWFTB) system detaching Turonian shales. The origin hydrocarbons is postulated to be from both: (a) thermogenic sources s...

Data from volcano-monitoring studies constitute the only scientifically valid basis for short-term forecasts of a future eruption, or of possible changes during an ongoing eruption. Thus, in any effective hazards-mitigation program, a basic strategy in reducing volcano risk is the initiation or augmentation of volcano monitoring at historically active volcanoes and also at geologically young, b...
