The interaction of microorganisms with stone materials leads to biodeterioration processes, which may cause aesthetic damages and the loss durability strength substrates. Innovative solutions against this process are represented by nanotechnologies. In our previous works, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole was successfully encapsulated within two silica-based nanodevices: nanocapsules mesoporous nanoparti...

Natural stone has been used since the dawn of civilization as a construction material for buildings that are historical and cultural monuments. The Zagreb Cathedral is an example such building data regarding extraction its reconstruction scientifically underestimated. Based on review previously published literature investigation current state sites where was quarried, this paper presents system...

In this article, the temporal and spatial development of probable sinkholes in close vicinity a couple that occurred 2007 2018 Kozaklı (Nevşehir) geothermal field, which is one most important thermal tourism centers where treatment with radon gases mud can be carried out Central Anatolia, was investigated using multi-electrode resistivity method core drilling data. The primary water aquifer con...

We developed a geochemical atlas of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon and in its tributary, the Little Colorado River, and used it to identify provenance and habitat use by Federally Endangered humpback chub, Gila cypha. Carbon stable isotope ratios (δ(13)C) discriminate best between the two rivers, but fine scale analysis in otoliths requires rare, expensive instrumentation. We therefore corr...

The process of travertine formation and carbonate deposition in the rivers is unique, delicate, depends on activity algae mosses. Although diatoms have been used extensively hydrobiological studies, comparative analysis data diatom communities barriers karstic are still scarce. study aimed to detect composition Una River, large river Bosnia Herzegovina. An integrated classical morphological ide...
