Statistical analyses of geochemical data from ferromanganese nodule samples representing a broad area of the southeast Pacific Ocean indicate nodule compositions are controlled by four factors: (1) suboxic diagenesis; (2) oxic diagenesis; (3) hydrogenous precipitation; and (4) hydrothermal precipitation. The first three are identical to those identified in studies of nodules from the North Paci...

Here, we present the draft genome sequences of two thermophilic Marinitoga strain members of the Thermotogales order, Marinitoga camini DV1155 and Marinitoga camini DV1197. These strains were isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vents of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

Recently, a cellulose-based composite material with a thin ZnO nanolayer-namely, ZnO nanocoated cellulose film (ZONCE)-was fabricated to increase its piezoelectric charge constant. However, the fabrication method has limitations to its application in mass production. In this paper, a hydrothermal synthesis method suitable for the mass production of ZONCE (HZONCE) is proposed. A simple hydrother...

This paper presents an efficient emission constrained hydrothermal scheduling algorithm that deals with nonlinear functions such as the water discharge characteristics, thermal cost, and transmission loss. It is then incorporated into the hydrothermal coordination program. The program has been tested on a practical utility system having 32 thermal and 12 hydro generating units. Test results sho...

To determine microbial community composition, community spatial structure and possible key microbial processes in the shallow-sea hydrothermal vent systems off NE Taiwan's coast, we examined the bacterial and archaeal communities of four samples collected from the water column extending over a redoxocline gradient of a yellow and four from a white hydrothermal vent. Ribosomal tag pyrosequencing...

Article history: Received 11 July 2012 Accepted 15 January 2013 Available online 7 February 2013 Editorial handling by Peter Birkle Groundwater chemistry and isotope data from 44 public supply wells in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, California were determined to investigate mixing of relatively shallow groundwater with deeper hydrothermalfluids.Multivariate analyses includingCluster Analyses,Mult...

At El Chucho creek, located to the west of Valle del Cauca department in Colombia, some hydrothermal alterations affecting Buga Batholith rocks and dykes porphyritic quartz-dioritic tonalitic composition were identified. These lithological units host mineral occurrences pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite that occur disseminated or associated with quartz veinlets. The identified phyllic, propylit...

In this study, Hallaçlar Volcanites located in Bayramiç-Çanakkale region were evaluated terms of strategic element contents. Mineralogical-petrographical and geochemical investigations carried out on the samples which taken from outcrops with intense hydrothermal alteration. The stratigraphy study area consists Sütüven Formation (Kazdağı Metamorfites), Çetmi Ophiolitic Melange, Evciler Pluton V...
