رصد تدابير تخفيف الأثر البيئي في منشآة مصفاة بانياس لتكرير النفط by هيثم جناد, عادل عوض, مايا نوح

“…In spite of the precautions, controls and treatment available in the most important oil installations in the Syrian coast (Banias Oil Refinery), the environmental effects of gaseous, liquid or solid oil contaminants will find their way into the general environment, leaving serious negative impacts on the components of different ecosystems –air - soil - groundwater - rivers - sand and beach rocks - etc ..). Therefore, this research is a means of monitoring the environmental measures and Procedures taken in the facility to avoid, reduce and compensate the resulting environmental impacts. …”

U-Pb Geochronology and Trace Element Compositions of Zircon in Biotite Granite from the Bagaladong Pb-Zn Deposit, Tibet and Their Geological Significance by WANG Li-qiang, XIE Fu-wei, WANG Yong

“…The Bagaladong Pb-Zn deposit is located in the eastern segment of the Gangdese back-arc uplift belt and lacks enough study with no available ages for ores and rocks. Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) zircon U-Pb dating and in situ trace elements were carried out for mineralization-related biotite granite in the Bagaladong Pb-Zn deposit and are reported in this paper. …”
