There are few studies describing the extent to which low iron status affects osteoblastogenesis, despite evidence that iron deficiency produces adverse effects on bone density. The purpose of this study was to evaluate alterations in intracellular iron status by measuring iron-regulated gene and protein expression and to describe development of osteoblast phenotype in primary cells treated with...

Significant magnetite, in the form of dyke-like lodes (Cockfield. 1948). occurs in close spatial relationship to copper deposits such as the Afton mine. The genetic relationship of these massive magnetite lodes to the copper deposits of the Iron Mask is unknown, as i s the origin of the magnetite deposits. However, the proximity of these deposits to magnetite-rich intrusive units of the Iron Ma...

Abstract. We present pre-stack depth-imaging results for a case study of 3D reflection seismic exploration at the Blötberget iron oxide mining site belonging to Bergslagen mineral district in central Sweden. The goal is directly image ore-bearing horizons and delineate their possible depth extension below depths known from existing boreholes. For this purpose, we applied tailored pre-processing...

Peatland soils represent globally significant stores of carbon, and understanding carbon cycling pathways in these ecosystems has important implications for global climate change. We measured aceticlastic and autotrophic methanogenesis, sulfate reduction, denitrification, and iron reduction in a bog, an intermediate fen, and a rich fen in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for one growing season. ...
