Chemical and mineralogical characterization of portuguese ceramic tiles in the historic center of São Luís do Maranhão (Brazil): an approximation of the mineralogy and firing temperature of the raw materials [PDF]
Rem: Revista Escola de Minas, 2013 This work involved the first-ever characterization of antique Portuguese ceramic wall tiles in the Historic Center of São Luis do Maranhão, Brazil. The tiles were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and chemical analysis to identify the possible raw materials used in the fabrication process, as well as the firing temperature of

Globally Mapping the Nitrogen Stable Isotope Ratios of Terrestrial Vegetation From 1984 to 2022
Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract Nitrogen cycles control the structure, function, and composition of ecosystems globally. Despite their importance, our understanding of long‐term changes in global nitrogen cycles remains limited. The foliar nitrogen stable isotope ratio (δ15N) serves as a valuable metric for assessing changes in nitrogen cycling and potentially in plant ...
