Crystallographic, electronic and vibrational properties of 2D silicate monolayers
Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 58, Issue 2, Page 349-362, April 2025.The present work reports a density functional theory investigation of the structural, electronic, Raman and infrared properties of the (001) monolayer of phlogopite [K(Mg,Fe)3Si3AlO10(OH)2, with Mg/Fe ratio ≥ 2] and how they change with different Fe2+/Mg2+ substitutions in the octahedral sheet.Phyllosilicates are promising materials for optoelectronic ...

Resin‐coated urea effectively simulates the chronic dynamics of natural nitrogen deposition
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition has more than tripled globally since the Industrial Revolution. Experiments usually simulate N deposition using fast‐release N fertilizers applied once or several times a year. However, these pulses differ from the continuous N supply of natural deposition, which may lead to different outcomes.

Moisture tempers impairment of adult Otiorhynchus sulcatus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) climbing ability by fluoropolymer, talc dust, and lithium grease [PDF]
, 2005 As part of a project to develop tools for the physical exclusion of flightless root weevils, adult black vine weevils (BVW), Otiorhynchus sulcatus (F.), were placed in open enclosures with smooth walls of glass, plastic or aluminum to test their ability ...

Rare but relevant: The injection of tablet preparations and pulmonary hypertension
Addiction, Volume 120, Issue 6, Page 1276-1279, June 2025.Abstract Intravascular injection of dissolved medicinal preparations such as crushed tablets is associated with a risk of injecting particulate material into the vasculature. This particulate material will naturally pass to the lungs where it will be largely filtered out in the pulmonary vascular bed, and in turn, it can result in a range of ...

Dynamic characteristics and processing of fillers in polyurethane elastomers for vibration damping applications [PDF]
, 2011 Polyurethane elastomers have the potential of being used to reduce vibrational noise in many engineering applications. The performance of the elastomer is directly related to matching the nature of the mechanical loss characteristics to the frequency and

Archaeometry, EarlyView.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 ...

Accessory minerals: a provenancing tool for steatite quarries
Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract Steatite has been a widely traded material across a range of archaeological contexts. Yet, challenges inherent to determining its provenance limits our understanding of the networks and mechanisms of its exchange. We present a robust new accessory mineral provenancing “fingerprint” method based their specific growth history.
