Owens Lake, California, a saline terminal lake desiccated after diversion of its water source, was formerly the single largest anthropogenic source of fugitive dust in North America. Over 100 billion m 3 yr 1 of fresh water are projected to be used for mandated dust control in over 100 km of constructed basins required to be wetted to curtail emissions. An extensive evaporite deposit is located...

Introduction. The formation of salt deposits and oilfield equipment’s corrosion in most oil fields has become particularly relevant due to the increase volume produced its water content recent years. deposition salts wells leads a decrease permeability reservoir, flow rate wells. aim work is use machine learning algorithms simulate effects an electromagnetic field on processes corrosion. Predic...

Chromium deposits rank among the most widespread metal coatings for functional and decorative purposes. However, electrodeposition from Cr(VI) aqueous solution, which is industrial process currently used to achieve thin chromium deposits, presents several environmental issues, urging development of alternative solutions. In this study, aims compare aesthetical properties coatings, 800 nm thick ...

The spatial distribution of mineralization is the foremost concern in regional exploration and it could be considered as a very important tool in the investigation of mineral deposits. There are several data manipulation methods by which the data can be evaluated. Fry analysis is a good method to determine the direction(s) of maximum continuity of the deposits and could be used in different typ...

Although once thought to be devoid of biology, recent studies have identified salt deposits as oases for life in the hyperarid Atacama Desert. To examine spatial patterns of microbial species and key nutrient sources, we genomically characterized 26 salt crusts from three sites along a fog gradient. The communities are dominated by a large variety of Halobacteriales and Bacteroidetes, plus a fe...

BACKGROUND Tumor deposits are one of the important influencing factors among the different editions of Tumor, Node, Metastasis classification. Incidence and prognosis of tumor deposits in stage I, II, and III colorectal cancer patients has been explored. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of tumor deposits in stage IV colorectal cancer patients who underwent simultaneou...

impressive Quaternary lacustrine deposits are present as terrace remnants throughout the Karakoram Mountains, northern Pakistan. They are mainly the result of damming of drainage systems during glacial advances or by catastrophic mass movement deposits. The longevity of most lakes is relatively short, in the order of years to tens of yeaa, but sedimentation rates are extremely high as a consequ...

The spatial patterns of the diffuse, primitive, and classic β -amyloid (Aβ) deposits were compared in cortical regions in early-onset familial Alzheimer's disease (EO-FAD) linked to mutations of the amyloid precursor protein APP) or presenilin 1 (PSEN1) genes, late-onset familial AD (LO-FAD), and sporadic AD (SAD). The objective was to determine whether genetic factors influenced the spatial pa...

The temporal-spatial coincidence of saline deposits with rifting and alkaline magmatism has now become a commonly accepted fact. The congruency of these three phenomena implies logically, their trilateral genetic interrelation. The conventional concept for the formation of saline deposits, i.e an "evaporation process" can not be properly applied to giant saline deposits. The proposed "Volc...
