Heterogeneous pyritaceous-polymetallic and copper-zinc-pyrrhotine deposits on the South slope of the Greater Caucasus are located in the Lower-Middle Jurassic terrigenous sediments. They were formed under a wide variation of physico-chemical parameters of mineral formation and are characterized by specific mineralogical-geochemical peculiarities. Ore-formation occurred in three stages. In the f...

When comparing the average citation impact of research groups, universities and countries, field normalisation reduces the influence of discipline and time. Confidence intervals for these indicators can help with attempts to infer whether differences between sets of publications are due to chance factors. Although both bootstrapping and formulae have been proposed for these, their accuracy is u...

An integrated multidisciplinary study utilizing geochemical and microbial ecological approaches was conducted to characterize the origins, chemical nature, and quantities of dissolved and particulate organic matter (OM) utilized by heterotrophic bacteria in a temperate estuary. C : N, stable isotope (d13C), and lipid biomarker analyses revealed differences in the inferred reactivity of autochth...

In order to determine the geochemical distribution of metals in survey area, we investigated and analyzed soil samples according regulations land quality contamination. We properties soil, like topsoil deep at Binzhou Economic Technological Development Zone. The background values distributions various indicator elements were identified within area. was also determined contaminants assessed. fou...
