Formation of mine drainage in the Far Eastern region and its impact on the ecosphere and public health by V. P. Zvereva, K. R. Frolov, A. I. Lysenko

“…The Eh–pH parameters of solutions, their composition with respect to stable aqueous species (complex compounds and simple ions), paragenetic associations (paragenesis) of precipitating hypergenic minerals with respect to the primary composition of ores and host rocks were established in a wide temperature range (from −25 to +45 °С). …”

The geochemical characteristics and origin of Ordovician ultra-deep natural gas in the North Shuntuoguole area, Tarim Basin, NW China by Anlai Ma, Zhiliang He, Lu Yun, Xian Wu, Nansheng Qiu, Jian Chang, Huixi Lin, Zicheng Cao, Xiuxiang Zhu, Donghua You

“…The Ordovician natural gas in the SB area is dominated by kerogen cracking gas, with a small fraction of wet gas from the early stages of oil cracking, whereas, all of the gas in the ST, SN, GL and GC areas comes from oil cracking. The Cambrian source rocks led directly to both types of cracking gases. …”

Retrograde metamorphism of the eclogite in North Qaidam, western China: Constraints by joint 40Ar/39Ar in vacuo crushing and stepped heating by Rongguo Hu, Jan Wijbrans, Fraukje Brouwer, Linghao Zhao, Min Wang, Huaning Qiu

“…The stepwise heating results could further be used to decipher the thermal history of the UHP rocks. Amphiboles from amphibolites and quartz vein within garnet-amphibolite lens analyzed by in vacuo crushing yield similarly shaped age spectra and exhibit relatively flat age plateaus for the last several steps. …”

The prevalence of urolithiasis in subjects undergoing computer tomography in selected referral diagnostic centers in Mogadishu, Somalia by Najib Isse Dirie, Mohamed Hussein Adam, Bashiru Garba, Bashiru Garba, Hassan Abdullahi Dahie, Maryan Abdullahi Sh. Nur, Fartun Yasin Mohamed, Abdirahman Khalif Mohamud, Jihaan Hassan

“…More than 60% of the patients with urolithiasis showed some degree of hydronephrosis ranging between mild to severe.ConclusionA CT scan-based urolithiasis prevalence indicates 14.8% in Mogadishu, Somalia, and these results are consistent with the probability calculation of the weights-of-evidence (WofE) methodology based on several risk factors including temperature, climate change, mineral deposit, drinking water quality, and distribution of carbonated rocks. Considering the high prevalence of the disease, Somalia needs to invest more in prevention and treatment facilities while also training urologists that are capable of utilizing minimally invasive techniques in the country.…”

Multiple Endmember Spectral Mixture Analysis (MESMA) Applied to the Study of Habitat Diversity in the Fine-Grained Landscapes of the Cantabrian Mountains by Víctor Fernández-García, Elena Marcos, José Manuel Fernández-Guisuraga, Alfonso Fernández-Manso, Carmen Quintano, Susana Suárez-Seoane, Leonor Calvo

“…A Landsat-8 OLI scene and high-resolution orthophotographs (25 cm) were used to build a region-specific spectral library of the main types of habitats in this region (arboreal vegetation; shrubby vegetation; herbaceous vegetation; rocks–soil and water bodies). We optimized the spectral library with the Iterative Endmember Selection (IES) method and we applied MESMA to unmix the Landsat scene into five fraction images representing the five defined habitats (root mean square error, RMSE ≤ 0.025 in 99.45% of the pixels). …”

Stone-tool assemblage of the Eneolithic settlement of Tolum-1 in the Konda River Basin by Khramcov M.V., Chairkina N.M., Dubovtseva E.N., Myznikov S.A.

“…According to the raw-material composition of the stonetool assemblage, mainly represented by soft rocks (grey-green slate, burgundy schist, etc.) and, to a lesser extent, by flint of various colors, quartz and quartzite, the ancient population of this region did not have continuous sources of high-quality ornamental raw materials. …”

Gypsum-Karst Collapse in the Black Hills, South Dakota-Wyoming, USA by Jack B. Epstein

“…Intrastratal dissolution of gypsum and anhydrite in four stratigraphic units of Pennsylvanian to Jurassic age in the Black Hills of South Dakota and Wyoming has resulted in many collapse features that have developed primarily in the non-soluble overlying rocks. Subsidence has affected several areas that are undergoing urban development. …”
