This study was aimed at investigating the photocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP) antibiotic in aqueous solution using immobilized ZnO nanoparticles on glass plate. X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were applied to characterize the nanoparticles. To do so, the ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized through the chemical precipitation method and we...

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...

The goal of this study was to investigate the mutual relationship between architecture and mineralization during early development of the pig mandible. These factors are considered to define the balance between the requirements for bone growth on the one hand and for load bearing on the other. Architecture and mineralization were examined using micro-CT, whereas the mineral composition was asse...

Limited information is available on the role of MAPK phosphatase 1 (MKP1) signaling in osteoblasts. We have recently reported distinct roles for MKP1 during osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, and skeletal responsiveness to parathyroid hormone (PTH). As MKP1 regulates the phosphorylation status of MAPKs, we investigated the involvement of P-ERK and P-p38 MAPKs in MKP1 knockout (KO) early...

The generality of relationships between soil net nitrogen (N) mineralization, aboveground N cycling, and aboveground net primary production (ANPP) for temperate forest ecosystems is unclear. It is also not known whether these variables and their relationships differ between evergreen and deciduous forests, or across soil types. To address these questions we compiled data on annual rates of in s...

The uplift and denudation history of the orogenic belt basin–mountain coupling process have directly or indirectly affected generation, scale, preservation sandstone-type uranium deposits in eastern Junggar Basin by controlling source, lithology, facies, hydrogeology, post-generation modification, other mineralization conditions. Taking as research area, this study proposes constraints on tecto...

This review attempts to summarize the findings made available by the literature on the mineralization of bone. The types of bone, their structures and compositions, the nature and organization of organic and inorganic matter, the organic-inorganic relationships, and the mineralization mechanism itself, are the main topics of the present review. As in other hard tissues, bone mineralization occu...

introduction the garmab copper deposit is located northeast of qaen (south khorasan province) in the1:100,000 scale map of abiz in the eastern tectonic zone of iran. it is hosted by late paleocene-eocene lava flows consisting mainly of andesite, trachy andesite, andesite-basalt and basalt lavas, as well as pyroclastic rocks, including tuffs and ignimbrites. the lut block has undergone intense m...

Most of the world’s large molybdenum (Mo) deposits are genetically related to magmas that underwent significant fractional crystallization and fluid exsolution, residual silicate melts commonly peralkaline. To understand relationship between melt compositions genesis porphyry Mo mineralization, partition coefficients (DMo) felsic were determined at 850 °C, 900 100 MPa with various values A/NK [...
