Deposition That which is deposited; matter laid or thrown down; sediment; alluvial matter; as, banks are sometimes depositions of alluvial matter. Disposition To remove or place in a different position. Deposition An opinion, example, or statement, laid down or asserted; a declaration. Disposition...
Physical impact is inflicted on marine species of different trophic levels as a result of their direct contact with these small pieces in their natural environments (Wright et al., 2013). However, this is not the only implication caused by the spread of MPs in nature, since they contain or...
The term polymer can encompass a very diverse range of chemicals which needs to be defined more precisely. Using the REACh polymer definition [1], polymers comprise such diverse substances as insoluble solid ‘plastic’ polymers, liquid polymers, soluble polymers, smaller oligomeric polymers (e.g.,...
Non-point source pollution is a serious environmental issue and has attracted a lot of scientific attention. Currently, the influences of grazing on the water and nutrient cycles in alpine meadows, as well as corresponding underlying mechanisms, still remain unclear. The quantitative contributions of ...
In electronics, polyoxometalate soft matter composites have received minimal attention, with most investigations concentrating on the deposition of polyoxometalates on semiconductor or metal surfaces. Image Credit: Quality Stock Arts/Shutterstock.com
Deposition of Self-Assembled Monolayers Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are well-organized one molecule thick layers that spontaneously form on a surface. They have a high potential for use in a wide range of applications due to their well-defined structure and properties. Read more... Applicat...
Rock units are first emplaced either by deposition onto the surface or intrude into the overlying rock. Deposition can occur when sediments settle onto the surface of the Earth and later lithify into sedimentary rock, or when as volcanic material such as volcanic ash or lava flows, blanket the...
Tantalum carbide is widely used as a kind of additive in hard alloy, the main function of which is to improve the high-temperature strength of cemented carbide and tungsten carbide particles. In cutting tools, tantalum carbide is used to increase the substrate metal resistance to chemical...
This knowledge gap, in addition to the lack of standardized protocols hinder the application of seaweed for biomonitoring. Some advances have already been made;F. vesiculosushas been recommended for the Atlantic region, but the protocol for using this species as a biomonitor is far from being opti...
Therefore, the objective of this study is to show the effectiveness of a one-time acidification with alternative acids also in combination with other treatment strategies. The amount of acid as well as the change of pH value during storage were investigated. For most variants, a strong pH ...
