In this paper, we used 3D modeling and nonlinear methods (fractal, multifractal, and probabilistic neural networks (PNN)) for regional mineral potential mapping and quantitative assessment for porphyry and skarn-type Mo deposits and hydrothermal vein-type Pb–Zn–Ag deposits in the Luanchuan region, China. A 3D geological model was constructed from various geological maps, cross sections, borehol...

The geochemical composition of surface soils and potential bedrocks in Davarzan area has been investigated to determine soil origin and evaluate environmental aspects. Davarzan plain is composed of soils and deposits derived by weathering and transportation of different bedrocks from northern mountains. The bedrocks consist of Eocene (andesitic to basaltic lavas and volcano-sedimentary rocks co...

Correlation analyses were conducted on nickel (Ni), vanadium (V) and zinc (Zn) oral bioaccessible fractions (BAFs) and selected geochemistry parameters to identify specific controls exerted over trace element bioaccessibility. BAFs were determined by previous research using the unified BARGE method. Total trace element concentrations and soil geochemical parameters were analysed as part of the ...

The research aims to assess the geothermal potential and provide a better understanding of geology geophysics area. study utilizes various methods, including geological mapping, geochemical analysis, magnetic electromagnetic data gain insights into subsurface structures characteristics system. area can be divided three geomorphological units: Alluvial Plain Unit, Near Plains Isolated Hill Unit....

Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) sequester iron from the environment to biomineralize magnetite or greigite nanoparticles in magnetosome organelles, though necessity of intracellular storage for formation process is still question. Understanding role would make clear contribution MTB geochemical cycling and its potential importance during biosynthesis application-relevant magnetic nanoparticles. He...

The relationship between the Coulomb displacement energy for the A=8, J=2 + , T=1 state and the low-energy astrophysical S 17 factor for the 7 Be(p,γ) 8 B reaction is discussed. The displacement energy is interpreted in a particle-hole model. The dependence of the particle displacement energy on the potential well geometry is investigated and is used to relate the particle displacement energy t...

In this study, the influence of the terminal phosphorothioate (PT) internucleotide bond in ds-DNA on the oxidation process was taken into consideration. The interaction of UV with the targeted oligonucleotide leads to an electron ejection and radical cation "hole" migration through the ds-DNA until it is trapped irreversibly in a suitable place. Phosphorothiate internucleotide bonds were detect...

High element enrichment factors (EFs) are commonly used in the literature to support the hypothesis that a particular suite of elements is of anthropogenic origin. Real-world examples of regional geochemical surveys demonstrate that EFs can be high or low due to a multitude of reasons, of which contamination is but one. This applies to EFs calculated relative to either the crust or some local b...

Organic geochemical evaluation of the Madbi Formation as the main source rock of the Al-Jawf Basin, NE Central Yemen was the main objective of this study. The organic geochemical methods used in the study include: rock-eval pyrolysis, total organic carbon, and optical measurements as the vitrinite reflectance and thermal alteration index. In this study, 67 well core and side-well core samples o...

Multicomponent contaminant transport models in groundwater are typically based on assumptions of local geochemical equilibrium on the grid scale. In heterogenous systems there may be significant coupling between transport processes and geochemical equilibrium at smaller than grid block scale. When these processes are upscaled to grid scale, geochemical evolution may take on a kinetic character....
