The electrical conductivity and the thermal performance of the films made of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) spray-coated on polycarbonate substrate were investigated. The electrical conductivity and the transmittance of 10 times spray coated film made from the solution with 0.08 wt% of rGO, 0.16 wt% of surfactant were 30 komega/sq and 64%, respectively. The steady-state temperature of the films i...

Hydrothermal vents differ both in surface input and subsurface geochemistry. The effects of these differences on their microbial communities are not clear. Here, we investigated both alpha and beta diversity of diffuse flow-associated microbial communities emanating from vents at a basalt-based hydrothermal system along the East Pacific Rise (EPR) and a sediment-based hydrothermal system, Guaym...

Iron selenide obtained by mild hydrothermal reaction is not superconducting and exhibits a triclinic crystal structure below 60 K unlike superconducting FeSe from conventional solid state synthesis which is orthorhombic. In contrast, tetragonal iron sulphide FeS from hydrothermal synthesis is superconducting but undergoes no structural change on cooling.

This paper sought to evaluate the influence of entrepreneurial education on informal entrepreneur’s intention formalise. A positivist approach was employed backed by quantitative analysis determine impact formalise businesses. The study analysed a sample 265 traders and structured questionnaire used gather data. Collected data using parameters such as regression Pearson correlation analysis. re...

Abstract The machinability of Ti-6Al-4V alloy has been a constant challenge in the industry, although material is widely used aerospace and medical industries due to its mechanical properties, particularly strength-to-weight ratio. current research presents hybrid laser- ultrasonic-assisted machining (LUAM) technique improve turning process. This compared with (UAM), laser-assisted (LAM), conve...

In the austral summer of 2011 we undertook an investigation of three volcanic highs in the Central Bransfield Basin, Antarctica, in search of hydrothermal activity and associated fauna to assess changes since previous surveys and to evaluate the extent of hydrothermalism in this basin. At Hook Ridge, a submarine volcanic edifice at the eastern end of the basin, anomalies in water column redox p...

The area of interest is located on the eastern flank of the Andean Cordillera, San Juan province, Argentina. The 3600 km2 area is characterized by Siluro-Devonian to Neogene sedimentary and igneous rocks and unconsolidated Quaternary sediments. Epithermal, porphyry-related, and magmatic-hydrothermal breccia-hosted ore deposits, common in this part of the Frontal Cordillera, are associated with ...

The unique geochemistry of marine shallow-water hydrothermal systems promotes the establishment of diverse microbial communities with a range of metabolic pathways. In contrast to deep-sea vents, shallow-water vents not only support chemosynthesis, but also phototrophic primary production due to the availability of light. However, comprehensive studies targeting the predominant biogeochemical p...

How did life originate on Earth? This has always been a challenging topic generating continuous interest among different fields, such as chemistry, biology, physics, and engineering. The “primordial soup”, which has been the most commonly accepted theory, fails to explain how molecules present at low concentrations in the prebiotic oceans could create the building blocks of life, such as protei...

The Champagne Hot Springs (CHS) shallow submarine hydrothermal system is located along the submerged flank of the Plat Pays volcanic system on the southwest section of the island of Dominica, Lesser Antilles. We have conducted a detailed geochemical study of the hydrothermal system, with the objectives to investigate the source of the hydrothermal fluids and gases, their effect on sediment and ...
