With the aim to open a new window into corrosion processes this paper presents respirometric methods for real-time in situ monitoring of rates under immersion conditions. these techniques, sensitive, non-destructive rate measurements are possible on basically all metals and alloys. Different presented that enable monitor HER, ORR or both reactions simultaneously based amount evolved H 2 consume...

When investigating the treatment of contaminated soils, the application of biotreatment is growing rapidly. Factors influencing this rapid growth include that the bioremediation processes are cost-efficient, safe, and nature-based. In the past, thermal, chemical, and physical treatment methods have failed to eliminate the pollution problem because those methods only shift the pollution to a new...

An association between vasectomy and the development of testicular tumors, and the importance of testicular examinations both before and after a vasectomy is discussed.
