Understanding the frequency of high energy storm and tsunami events is crucial for apprehending vulnerability coastal communities. Identifying dating sedimentary evidence deposited by such can assist in planning installation suitable protection measurements. The Andaman Sea coast Thailand particularly vulnerable to as illustrated 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. Here, three shore-perpendicular transe...

Saving natural resources has become increasingly important. In construction, research been done on alternative methods to replace conventional building materials. One of those novel is MICP (microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation). this process, crystals are precipitated with the help ureolytic bacteria. A cementation solution consisting urea and salt used. This precipitation can be ...

Carbonate mud is a major constituent of recent marine carbonate sediments and of ancient limestones, which contain unique records of changes in ocean chemistry and climate shifts in the geological past. However, the origin of carbonate mud is controversial and often problematic to resolve. Here we show that tropical marine fish produce and excrete various forms of precipitated (nonskeletal) cal...

This work explores the effect of additives on the pouring temperature in a waterworks and industrial calcium fluoride sludge co-melting system. Two kinds of sludge were mixed in various ratios to find a mixing ratio at which the operating temperature for subsequent additive tests was relatively low. Various proportions of either sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) or potassium carbonate (K2CO3) reagent w...

BACKGROUND Control of serum phosphate over the long term is essential in patients with end-stage renal disease. Six-month and 2-year extensions to a 6-month study evaluated the long-term safety, tolerability and efficacy of the new phosphate binder lanthanum carbonate. METHODS Patients who participated in a 6-month, randomized trial comparing lanthanum carbonate with calcium carbonate were el...

BACKGROUND Lanthanum carbonate (FOSRENOL®) is an effective, well-tolerated phosphate binder. The ability of lanthanum to reduce serum phosphorus levels to ≤5.5 mg/dL in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) was assessed in a clinical practice setting. METHODS A 16-week, phase IV study enrolled 2763 patients at 223 US sites to evaluate the efficacy of lanthanum carbonate in controlling ...

THIS PAPER REPORTS A METHOD for determining carbonate in carbonate-containing solids by means of the Van Slyke-Neill manometric apparatus, which is widely used for the determination of carbon dioxide in biologic fluids. The method is rapid, convenient, and quantitative, and it makes possible the determination of carbonate in solids by the average clinical laboratory without the purchase of addi...

Neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution has been used to investigate the liquid structures of propylene carbonate and glycerol carbonate. C-HO[double bond, length as m-dash]C hydrogen-bonding motifs dominate the local structure of propylene carbonate, giving rise to the formation of head-to-tail correlated chains of molecules. In contrast, glycerol carbonate exhibits a more disordered st...

Enterococci are used to assess the risk of negative human health impacts from recreational waters. Studies have shown sustained populations of enterococci within sediments of beaches but comprehensive surveys of multiple tidal zones on beaches in a regional area and their relationship to beach management decisions are limited. We sampled three tidal zones on eight South Florida beaches in Miami...
