Cilj istraživanja bio je procijeniti učestalost osteoporoze u oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti (PB). Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 26 bolesnika,17 žena i 9 muškaraca oboljelih od PB, bez znatnijeg komorbiditeta. Kliničkim pregledom utvrđena je starost, trajanje PB, način liječenja, komorbiditet, životne navike, ishrana i tjelesna aktivnost. Stadij PB i stupanj aktivnosti u svakodnevnom životu pro...

The chemistry and isotope chemistry of natural materials is highly indicative of provenance and process throughout geological history. Our studies range in time from the earliest solar system through to processes that are actively taking place today, and in scope from planetary systems to individual molecules. Active areas of research centre on planetary studies, metamorphic and igneous geochem...

The results of our combined U–Pb, Rb–Sr, and Sm–Nd isotope study of mare basalt 10017 contribute to the understanding of the petrogenetic processes involved in the origin of geochemical diversity in lunar mare basalt sources, as well as the U–Pb isotope systematics of the Moon. The Rb–Sr, Sm–Nd, and U–Pb isotope systems yield concordant crystallization ages of 3.633 ± 0.057 Ga, 3.678 ± 0.069 Ga...

U–Th–Pb isotopic systems have been studied in submillimeter-thick outermost layers of Quaternary opal occurring in calcite–silica fracture and cavity coatings within Tertiary tuffs at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, USA. These coatings preserve a record of paleohydrologic conditions at this site, which is being evaluated as a potential high-level nuclear waste repository. The opal precipitated from gro...

Unusually radiogenic Pb has been found in sediments of a portion of the Ashtabula River (80 o 48’ W, 41 o 54’ N) near its confluence with Lake Erie. Pb isotopic compositions have been determined by quadrupole ICPMS, revealing that the Pb results from mixing of three sources: crustal Pb, common Pb from industrial pollutant sources, and highly radiogenic Pb associated with U-containing accessory ...

A Visual Basic program for flexible, interactive processing of ion-microprobe data acquired for quantitative trace element, Al–Mg, Mn–Cr, Fe–Ni and U–Th–Pb geochronology applications is described. Default but editable run-tables enable software identification of secondary ion species analyzed and for characterization of the standard used. Counts obtained for each species may be displayed in plo...
