The term biomineral refers not only to a mineral produced by organisms, but also to the fact that almost all of these mineralized products are composite materials comprised of both mineral and organic components. Furthermore, having formed under controlled conditions, biomineral phases often have properties such as shape, size, crystallinity, isotopic and trace element compositions quite unlike...

The aim of this study was the investigation of the possibilities of direct determination of calcium, sodium and potassium in the commercial and kombucha-based fermented milk products by flame photometry. Two procedures were used for sample preparation: simple dilution with water (direct method) and extraction with mineral acid. Calcium, sodium and potassium levels determined after mentioned sam...

by increasing demands on paper products and shortage of fiber resources, various strategies were introduced to meet the requirements. in this context, application of mineral fibers is a novel and growing approach. this study was aimed to reduce the plant fibers by application of, mineral fiber in the papermaking system. application of 0, 10, 20, and 30% loadings of rock wool mineral fibers (rwm...

Introduction: Many processing methods exist to extract mineralogical information from Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) images [1, 2, 3], however, such methods are not designed with large-scale, exploratory surveys in mind. Typically, for manual analyses mineral information must be provided a priori (that is, analysts must know in advance the mineral type they are loo...

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship among the current status of calcium intake from milk and milk products, physical growth and bone mineral density in 664 male and female middle school and high school students aged 15-17 years. In the study, the current status of calcium intake from milk and milk products was analyzed, and the height, body composition, and bone mineral den...

the series of mono-metallic and bi-metallic catalysts have been prepared by impregnatingwith solutions containing compound of h2ptc15,nbc15 and lml hc1 (0.1 mol). the activityand selectivity of the catalysts have been determined under conditions at 450-500°c, 15-30atm. molar ratio h2/c7h16=5 and vvh=1.5/h for converting n-heptane. under theseexperimental conditions it has been established that ...

The geological disposal in deep bedrock repositories is the preferred option for management of high-level radioactive waste (HLW). In some these concepts, carbon steel considered as a potential canister material and bentonites are planned backfill to protect metallic containers. Therefore, 1D radial reactive transport model has been developed order better understand processes occurring during l...
