background: long-term extraction and production of various oil derivatives causes contamination of soil adjacent to production and refining area. the main important issue is the ecological hazard of these pollutants. the main aim of the study was to identify and separate native bacteria that are responsible for degradation of oil contaminated fields. methods: we prepared a compound sample of co...

gamma-rays emitted from the ground surface relate to the primary mineralogy and geochemistryof the bedrock, and the secondary weathered materials. this information can contribute significantly to anunderstanding of the geochemical and pedogenetic history of a region. the main aim of this paper was to study the relationship between ground gamma-ray data and basement geochemistry in the lese catc...
