this paper dealswith thermo-mineral groundwater of themondragone plain (campania, southernitaly) and the possibility to use this low enthalpy geothermal resource. in the nw sector of this plain, at thebottom of mt. pizzuto, near the sea, there are thermo-mineral waters (50 °c) of sodium-chloride type,sulfureous and rich in co2 whose recharge is from the mt. pizzuto groundwater body. in the se s...

Abstract Boron-rich waste causes numerous environmental problems when discharged directly into the environment. Here, various quantities of boron oxide (B 2 O 3 ) were added to calcium sulfoaluminate (C 4 A $) during sintering process demonstrate a potential use boron-rich waste. The microstructure and hydration performance C $ with B contents investigated scanning electron microscopy, x-ray di...

introduction: boron is one of the eight essential micronutrients required for plant growth and development. the optimal concentration range (between deficiency and phytotoxicity) for boron is narrower than for other plant essential nutrients. generally, irrigating water containing concentrations of b greater than 1 mg l-1 would be detrimental for most plants. although, there are a large number ...

On average, mineral elements account for 4 % of total body mass and part of every tissue, liquid, cell and organ in human body. There is a sufficient evidence that minerals, both independently or in proper balance with other minerals, have structural, biochemical and nutritional functions that are very important for overall human health, both mental and physical (Vahčić et al., 2010). Furthermo...

The crystal structure of the title compound, C26H39BO2, which contains no strong hydrogen bond donors, displays only long C-H⋯O contacts between inversion-related pairs of mol-ecules. The structure contains layers rich in oxygen and boron parallel to the ac plane. The dioxaborinane ring adopts an envelope conformation with the C atom attached to the two methyl groups as the flap .

The boron-rich cobaltabisdicarbollide (COSAN) and its 8,8'-I2 derivative (I2-COSAN), both of purely inorganic nature, are shown to accumulate within living cells, where they can be detected using νB-H Raman microspectroscopy. This demonstrates an alternative method for cell labelling and detection.

Tetrazine-functionalised boron-rich carbon dots show fast clearance and enhanced tumour accumulation under pre-targeting conditions, as demonstrated using positron emission tomography.

The mineral compositions of the 8 wild edible fruits were investigated. Nitrogen, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorus were analyzed as the major constituents of the fruits and iron, zinc, copper and manganese were identified as a minor constituent. Among all the mineral, Potassium were found in large quantity in all fruits. Ficus racemosa L., fruit contain the highest amount of...

Boron-rich dendritic glycoconjugates of ortho -carborane clusters containing three to six peripheral hydrophilic glucose moieties have been found be promising anticancer agents.

Mineral paragenesis of rodingitized basic rocks of Iranian ophiolites are presented and metasomatic reactions between Ca+2 bearing aqueous fluids issued during serpentinization of host ultramafic rock – with magmatic minerals of basic rocks leading to present paragenesis of rodingites are discussed. It is concluded that Ca+2 rich aqueous fluid in equilibrium with serpentinite has high Ca+2 chem...
