Basalt is the most common volcanic igneous rock on the Earth's crust [5]. It forms from the melting of the upper mantle and its chemistry closely resembles the upper mantle composition [6]. Basalt is generally
This was the most popular reason their opinion, with only 11% saying their belief that climate change was not happening was based on scientific research.根据英联邦科学与工业研究组织(Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization)去年发布的一份报告,当一群澳大利亚人被问及为什么他们认为气候...
Forestry social science is failing the needs of the people who need it most Rich nations’ fixation on forests as climate offsets has resulted in the needs of those who live in or make a living from these resources being ignored. A broader view and more collaboration between disciplines is...
That chemical of course is caffeine, which is now the world’s most popular psychoactive drug, used daily by 80 percent of humanity.(48) Along with the tea plant, which produces the same compound in its leaves, coffee has helped create exactly the kind of world that coffee needs to thrive...
The most common opportunity to fit a narrative to incomplete data is when we recall faded memories – it turns out many of us can bring out our internal Dr. Seuss when recounting our roles in past events. And because we all like to think of ourselves as pretty darn awesome, our memories...
Robert Henning also acknowledges that even though he has the chemical compound to put human deep space travelers into hibernation, he does not have a solution to bringing them out of it and when to do so. NASA and the ESA have yet to devise a reliable solution either. However, there has...
Recently, on a perfect spring morning, we hiked the West Fork trail that runs alongside, and repeatedly crosses, Oak Creek. (You may recall my description and photos of this creek and trail in a past post, Red Rocks on the Water.) It’s one of the most popular hikes in the Sedona/...
Most BC is stored in terrestrial systems with some transported to the ocean via rivers and the atmosphere. However, the oceanic BC budget is not balanced, with known BC removal fluxes exceeding BC inputs. We demonstrate these observed inconsistencies using a simple ocean box model, which ...
the most common technology given its cost, simplicity, and high specific heat [32]. Latent heat storage relies on the phase change of materials at constant temperature, with fluids operating between 100 and 900 °C [32]. Finally, the ability to store heat into chemical bonds provides an ...
One of the most common outpatient infections, uncomplicated UTIs are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotics. Scientists are relying on a new approach that blocks two key enzymes that enable bacterial cells to replicate their DNA. In current antibiotics used to treat UTIs through these enz...
