Winter exploration of oil sands deposits underlying wooded fens mostly eliminates the hummock-hollow topography on drilling pads and the ice roads leading to them, after their abandonment in spring. Recovery of black spruce (Picea mariana (P. Mill.) B.S.P.) and tamarack (Larix laricina (Du Roi)...

Loellingite and arsenopyrite aggregates occur in spessartine-almandine garnet rocks (garnetite) metamorphosed to granulite facies, which are spatially associated with Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization in the giant Broken Hill deposit, southern Curnamona Province, New South Wales, Australia. Sulfarsenide...

Rationale Due to isotope fractionations during partial nitrogen release from minerals and rocks, the complete extraction of nitrogen for analysis is crucial to ensure high-quality nitrogen isotopic data. However, the appropriate nitrogen extraction conditions (e.g. temperature, duration) have not...

Poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAm-co-AAc) microgels and their aggregates have been shown to effectively remove organic dye molecules from aqueous solutions. Here, we investigate the reusability of these microgel-based systems by exposing them to the organic azo dye molecule,...

This paper presents a method for obtaining airfield capacity estimates, using historical data from the Federal Aviation Administration’s Aviation Systems Performance Metrics (ASPM) database. The process first involves merging individual flights and quarter-hour airport runway operations datasets...

Mobile photo enforcement (MPE) programs are commonly implemented to regulate speed and improve road safety. However, most previous research focuses mainly on validating the safety effects of MPE, with very minimal discussion on the enforcement performance indicators (EPIs). Therefore, the goal of...
