The internal cycles of carbon, silica, nitrogen, and phosphorus in the South and North Basins of Lake Baikal were quantified in the frame of a multidisciplinary collaboration. Fluxes of particulate organic matter from the epilimnion to the deep water were ...
Tensile tests have been carried out over a wide range of test speeds on compact tension specimens of polyamide 6 containing spherical silica particles, whose size and content had been adjusted to give optimum impact performance in conventional impact tests ...
[ 1] Retention in upstream storage dams results in modified riverine water and particle discharge patterns. Particularly, suspended solids input and intrusion dynamics in downstream lakes are affected by dam operations. In a case study, size-dependent part ...
We review the structural and hyperfine properties of Si dangling bond defects occurring in amorphous SiO2 and at various Si-SiO2 interfaces. These defects have in common a singly occupied orbital on a, trivalent Si Centre. We first briefly summarize the mo ...
The biogeochemical alteration of an Mg-Fe orthopyroxene, reacted for 70 yr under and conditions in a desert environment, was Studied by transmission electron microscopy. For this purpose, an electron transparent cross-section of the interface between a sin ...
[ 1] A large gas cloud erupted unexpectedly in 1986 from Lake Nyos, the larger of the two Cameroonian "Killer Lakes,'' with devastating consequences. Regular monitoring subsequently revealed that the deep water of the lake was gradually recharged with CO2. ...
Axial tension-tension fatigue experiments were performed on pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) plates in a laboratory environment. Different full-scale specimen shapes were examined: plate strips as-delivered, plate strips with tabs and plates ...
NOVELTY - The component partially or wholly comprises pigmented ceramic. The pigment comprises nanoparticles of metal of group IB in periodic table, alkaline metals or their alloy, coated with a layer of silica such as crystalline silica. The crystalline s ...
Important land surface characteristics affect the way in which water is transferred to the atmosphere, processed in the atmosphere, and eventually returned to the surface. In turn, the amount of water in the atmosphere and returning to Earth affects many o ...
We have applied the sol-gel process to generate optical microstructures in glass using in-house developed sol-gel materials. The synthesis of our sol-gel glass materials is based on the formation of particles of controlled size from organo-metallic compoun ...
