Up‐to‐Date Review on Flat‐Plate Solar Hybrid Photovoltaic Thermal Systems: Absorber Designs and Fabrication Materials

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Photovoltaic (PV) technology is generally perceived as well‐developed but suffers a drop in performance at high temperatures. Faced with this problem, researchers are turning to PV thermal (PVT) systems, which integrate electricity production and thermal energy. Flat‐plate PVT systems are the most widely adopted among the various configurations.

Occupational asbestos exposure and risk of esophageal cancer: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 154, Issue 11, Page 1920-1929, 1 June 2024.
What's new? Asbestos exposure is linked to cancer and can occur in different ways, including via ingestion or inhalation. For esophageal cancer (EC), while an association is strongly suspected, the interplay between asbestos exposure and risk remains unclear.

Magmatic, Metamorphic and Structural History of the Variscan Lizard Ophiolite and Metamorphic Sole, Cornwall, UK

Tectonics, Volume 43, Issue 4, April 2024.
Abstract The Lizard ophiolite, Cornwall, South‐West England, is the largest and best‐preserved ophiolite within the Variscan orogenic belt. It forms part of the Rheic‐Rhenohercynian suture zone, and was obducted northwestward onto the passive continental margin of Avalonia (Laurussia) during the Middle Devonian.

Investigating the Concentration and types of Asbestos Fibers using PCM and SEM in a Cement- Asbestos Industry

Salāmat-i kār-i Īrān, 2012
Background and aims : Asbestos minerals are divided into two main groups including serpentine and amphiboles and each has one or more subgroups. These minerals have been used in industrial products such as cement-asbestos sheet and pipe,

Chemical, thermal and infra-red characterization of chrysotile modes from the Wadi Daftah serpentinite (Semail ophiolite), United Arab Emirates

Discover Geoscience
Serpentine minerals, either polymorphs or polytypes (mostly chrysotile, lizardite and antigorite), are hardly distinguished in ophiolitic serpentinites and serpentinized peridotite unless sophisticated mineralogical tools are applied.

Structurally controlled growth of fibrous amphibole in tectonized metagabbro: constraints on asbestos concentrations in non-serpentinized rocks

Journal of the Geological Society, 2019
The nucleation and concentration of asbestos in rocks are mostly associated with mechanisms of fibre formation, combined with the water-dependent mineralogical alteration produced during the serpentinization of ultramafic masses. Very little is known about the structural settings and tectonic histories that influence and control the occurrence of ...

[Effect of water sprinkling on total dust and mineral fiber concentration during serpentine asbestos processing].

Medycyna pracy, 1994
By means of personal air sampler and Fibre Monitor FM-7400 concentrations of total dust and respirable mineral fibre were measured at work-posts, after sprinkling places with the highest emission of dust, in the plant where serpentine asbestos, used as road stone, was processed.

Data from Low Exposures to Amphibole or Serpentine Asbestos in Germline <i>Bap1</i>-mutant Mice Induce Mesothelioma Characterized by an Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment

<div>Abstract<p>Asbestos and <i>BAP1</i> germline mutations are risk factors for malignant mesothelioma (MM). While it is well accepted that amphibole asbestos is carcinogenic, the role of serpentine (chrysotile) asbestos in MM has been debated.
