Soil, grain and water chemistry and human selenium imbalances in Enshi district, Hubei Province, China [PDF]
Many elements which are essential to human and other animal health in small doses can be toxic if ingested in excess. Selenium (Se), a naturally occurring metalloid element is found in all natural materials on earth including rocks, soils, waters, air,

Abstract Biological and physical science infrastructure programs play a critical role in supporting scientific discovery. Even with their foundational roles in the process of science, frequently, support for these programs is threatened, reduced, or eliminated, placing critical data and information at risk of interruption or loss.

The role of data modelling in a modern geological survey [PDF]
Data models are key elements in understanding the meaning (semantics) of data and communicating the information requirements for geoscientific-environmental research. The British Geological Survey (BGS) models its data to provide an understanding of: the

Common Sensor Platform Project
Abstract EarthScope Consortium's Common Sensor Platform (CSP) project is a unified, modular, and scalable design approach for geophysical instrumentation deployments. Developed through cross disciplinary collaboration of National Science Foundation's GAGE and SAGE facilities, the platform outlines core station subsystems that have the flexibility to be

Abstract This research represents the most extensive characterisation of Roman mosaic tesserae (tiles) from Aquileia, Italy, to date, examining 153 specimens. The study aimed to identify the lithotypes used in mosaics production through a multi‐analytical approach, which included colorimetric analysis, polarised light microscopy and scanning electron ...

Abstract The uplift history of the Gangdese arc in Southern Tibet is fundamental to understanding when and how the plateau attained its current elevation and topographic relief. Detrital multi‐mineral provenance analysis of the Oligocene–Miocene strata in the intermontane Wuyu Basin provides new key information on the paleodrainage evolution in ...
