Crystal-chemistry and short-range order of fluoro-edenite and fluoro-pargasite: a combined x-ray diffraction and ftir spectroscopic approach [PDF]
In this study we address the crystal-chemistry of a set of five samples of F-rich amphiboles from the Franklin marble (USA), using a combination of microchemical (EMPA), SREF, and FTIR spectroscopy methods. The EMPA data show that three samples fall into

Amber imitation? Two unusual cases of Pinus resin-coated beads in Iberian Late Prehistory (3rd and 2nd millennia BC) [PDF]
A group of beads from the artificial cave of La Molina (Lora de Estepa, Sevilla) and Cova del Gegant (Sitges, Barcelona) were made from a biogenic raw material and intentionally covered by a layer of resin.

Heavy Metal Adsorption with Eggshell of Phasianus Colchicus
Defining the adsorption behavior of common pheasant Phasianus Colchicus (PC) eggshells for some metal ions (Pb, Cu, Al, and Ag) is the subject of this study. In addition to that, these metals have also been chosen in many studies to prevent environmental

Polyethylene characterization by FTIR
Important experimental parameters for FTIR spectra acquisition were studied: apodization, beam aperture, number of scans and spectral resolution, using polyethylene samples. The optimum conditions for the analyses were established and permitted unequivocally to identify the three most important commercially available grades: low density, high density ...
