Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Uranium Isotope Exchange between Uranium Hexafluoride and Uranium Pentafluoride
To aim at a better understanding of the uranium isotope exchange reaction between gaseous UF6 and solid UF5 experiments were done with natural UF6 gas and solid UF5 containing 3% 235U under different pressures of UF6. The experimental results suggest a two-process reaction with an initial rapid increase of 235UF6 in the gas phase followed by its slight

The neurotoxicology of uranium [PDF]
The brain is a target of environmental toxic pollutants that impair cerebral functions. Uranium is present in the environment as a result of natural deposits and release by human applications. The first part of this review describes the passage of uranium into the brain, and its effects on neurological functions and cognitive abilities.
