Hydrogeochemical investigations of groundwater in Torbat-Zaveh plain have been carried out to assess the water quality for drinking and irrigation purposes. In this study, 190 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for physicochemical parameters and major ion concentrations. The abundance of major cations and anions was in the following order: Na(+) > Mg(2+) > Ca(2+) > K(+), and Cl(-) ...

Introduction: The Kentland impact structure located in northwestern Indiana (N 40° 45’ W 87° 24’) represents the remains of an ~13km diameter complex crater. Ordovician-Devonian strata have been uplifted ~600 m to the surface following impact and subsequently exposed by local quarrying operations. Large megablocks of carbonates, sandstones, and shales have been uplifted along thrust faults to c...

background: composition of dust in the air due to contact with human via inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption will have a large impact on public health. in the learning environments such as universities, many people spend most of their day in contact with the dust. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the concentration of heavy metals lead, chromium and copper in the training space of...

introduction atmospheric processes and their interactions with ground surface responsible for formation and evolution of a heavy dust storm are important for identifying dust transport pathways. spatial and temporal distribution of middle eastern dust for a severe dust event during 4-8 july 2009 was analyzed by weather research and forecasting with chemistry (wrf/chem) model simulations, in-sit...

RESUMEN Cabbage clubroot is a major constraint for the production of cruciferous species. This research aim at exploring the effect of Trichoderma koningiopsis (as the wettable powder formulated product Tricotec®) and dolomite on the disease and crop growth of cabbage. This study was carried out in a field with a prolonged history of clubroot incidence. The trial was set up in a randomized comp...

The microbial dolomite model has been used to interpret the origin of sedimentary dolomite. In this model, formation low-temperature protodolomite, an important precursor dolomite, can be facilitated either by actively metabolizing cells anaerobic microbes and aerobic halophilic archaea or their inactive biomass. Aerobic bacteria are widely distributed in (proto-)dolomite-depositing evaporitic ...
