Substitution of bones is a well-established, necessary procedure to treat bone defects in trauma and orthopedic surgeries. For prevention or treatment of perioperative infection, the implantation of resorbable bone substitute materials carrying antibiotics is a necessary treatment. In this study, we investigated the newly formulated calcium-based resorbable bone substitute materials containing ...

[1] Atmospheric sulfate aerosols have a cooling effect on the Earth’s surface and can change cloud microphysics and precipitation. China has heavy loading of sulfate, but their sources and formation processes remain uncertain. In this study we characterize possible sources and formation processes of atmospheric sulfate by analyzing sulfur isotope abundances (S, S, 34S, and S) and by detailed X‐...

Dolomite post-floatation waste has been proposed as an alternative material for the construction of separation barriers. The aim this study was to determine effect pH leaching solutions on stability such present research included determination selected physical and chemical properties waste, i.e., density, grain composition, filtration coefficient. Column tests by different values modeling vary...

Aerosol particles can serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) to form cloud droplets, and its composition is a main factor governing whether an aerosol particle is an effective CCN. Pure mineral dust particles are poor CCN; however, changes in chemical composition of mineral dust aerosol particles, due to heterogeneous reactions with reactive trace gases in the troposphere, can modify their CC...

A particular river-whiting phenomenon occurred in the early 2000s in the Xiaoche River and since then it has been reoccurring from June to November each year. Residents were surprised by this phenomenon and worried about it. This study was designed to reveal the forming mechanism of the river-whiting phenomenon. A comparison of T, EC, ORP, DO, TDS and δ34S in the culvert water and discharge pip...

Thermoluminecsence (TL) characteristics of pure CaSO4 nanoparticles produced by co-precipitation method are presented. The formation of the nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). TL glow curve of this phosphor, exposed to gamma radiation exhibits five overlapping glow peaks in the complex glow curve at 463, 470, 483, 498 and521(K) respecti...

This work presents the results of a ten-year investigation (2010–2019) on characteristics and sources precipitation pollution in typical cities locating economic belt North Slope Tianshan Mountain, Xinjiang. The water-soluble ions’ (Na+, NH4+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, F?, Cl?, SO42?, NO3?), neutralizing capacity, wet deposition Urumqi, Karamay Yining during 2010–2019 were compared analyzed. study showed...
