Oxyapatites as low temperature solid electrolytes : influence of crystal chemistry and physical form by An, Tao

“…Crystal quality was validated by neutron diffraction and synchrotron X-ray rocking curve diffraction. The incorporation of aluminium into apatite was independently confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) microanalysis, while for the Al3+, Sr2+ and Cr5+ series, lattice parameter dilation with increasing dopant content was established by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD). …”

Carlo Rovelli, L’ordine del tempo by Alessandra Zanelli

“…The physics of which Carlo Rovelli is expert, or quantum gravity, is as if he had before him a lunar landscape made of motionless sands and a landscape at the ends of the peaks of the earth where we only see snow and sun rocks. With current tools these landscapes appear beautiful, extreme and timeless. …”

Fauna of Sistan Scorpions (Arachnida: Scorpiones), Southeast Iran by Hossein Barahoei

“…During the day, they hide under stones or wood, in the trunks of trees, in the crevices of rocks and walls, in the holes in the ground, etc., and are activated at night and hunt invertebrates, especially insects and other arachnids (Pirali-Kheirabadi et al., 2013).So far, 4 families, 20 genera, and 84 species of scorpions have been reported from Iran, of which 10 species belonging to six genera of the Buthidae family are distributed in the Sistan region (Navidpour et al., 2019; Kovařík et al., 2019, 2020, 2022; Kovařík & Navidpour, 2020; Barahoei et al., 2020, 2021, 2022; Cain et al., 2021; Yağmur et al., 2022). …”

Some aspects of the denudation of the chalk in the County of Wiltshire by Green, C

“…</p> <p>The work is based not on the application of refined geological techniques but on the ability to distinguish, in hand specimens, common and distinctive rocks. In important sections, samples of gravel of from 6 lbs to 2O lbs weight were secured and broken down into three fractions (¹⁄₁₆"-⁵⁄₃₂"; ⁵⁄₃₂"-¹⁄₂"; ¹⁄₂" upwards); for correlative purposes exact counts of the component materials were carried out for the two coarser fractions. …”
