A predictive equation for resting energy expenditure (REE) was derived from data from 498 healthy subjects, including females (n = 247) and males (n = 251), aged 19-78 y (45 +/- 14 y, mean +/- SD). Normal-weight (n = 264) and obese (n = 234) individuals were studied and REE was measured by indirect calorimetry. Multiple-regression analyses were employed to drive relationships between REE and we...

Background The estimation of resting energy expenditure (REE) can be a valuable tool in developing programs for weight loss interventions and body composition management. REE prediction equations are a low-cost alternative to assess REE versus directly measuring REE, which typically requires expensive laboratory equipment. Though often used to estimate REE in active populations, the majority of...

The mineralogy and geochemistry of the weathered intercumulate-type anorthosite complex in Hadong district South Korea were investigated as a prospective area for rare earth resource exploration. In this area, gabbroic was intruded by rare-earth elements yttrium (REE)-bearing dioritic pegmatites (av. 242 ppm), which caused REE-enriched Fe–Ti orebody accumulation 857 ppm) near pegmatites. REE-be...

Currently, there is an increasing industrial demand for rare earth elements (REE) as these are now integral to the manufacture of many carbon-neutral technologies. The depleting REE ores and mining costs prompting us consider alternative sources valuable metals, particularly from waste streams. Although concentrations in most resources lower than current ores, some including marine sediments, c...

Rare earth elements (REE) are essential for sustainable energies such as solar and wind power, with rising demand due to the ambitious goal a circular society. REE currently mined from virgin ores while REE-rich contaminated soil is left untreated in environment. Soil remediation strategies needed that concomitantly cleanup harvest metals contribute process economy. In this review we aim (i) de...

Sustainable agricultural, food-related strategies and geographic traceability require understanding of the plant physiological response to stress potentially generated by contaminated soils. Here, we have investigated effect substrate on growth Vitis vinifera L. plants analysing distribution full Rare Earth Elements (REE) spectra in different parts plant. Experiments were carried out using pris...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is a worldwide pollution problem of watersheds. In addition to toxic metal(oid)s and acidity, many elements economic interest are released into the environment, which make AMD potential strategic secondary source these such as rare earth (REE). Despite importance metals, their origin in still uncertain. Recent hypotheses suggest preferential leaching REE-enriched minera...
