Organic pollutant oxidation on manganese oxides in soils – the role of calcite indicated by geoelectrical and chemical analyses by S. S. Altzitser, Y. G. Mishael, N. Schwartz

“…Furthermore, dynamic shifts in the soil solution chemistry (changes in the calcium and manganese concentrations, pH, and electrical conductivity (EC)) correlated with the non-monotonous behavior of the in-phase conductivity. Our findings conclusively demonstrate that the noninvasive electrical method allows real-time monitoring of calcite dissolution, serving as a direct cursor to the oxidation process of hydroquinone and enabling the observation of chemical interactions in soil solution and on soil particle surfaces.…”

Certain Death: Mike Flanagan’s Gothic Antidote to Traumatic Memory and Other Enlightenment Hang-Overs in <i>Doctor Sleep</i> by Erik Bond

“…Like Walpole’s mythopoeic Gothic novel, Flanagan’s Gothic films demonstrate how patrilineal lineage damages other men, not just women; thus, Flanagan’s films offer psychological workbooks for practicing a type of reparative masculinity that involves exposure-exercises of cognitive behavior therapy (<i>Doctor Sleep</i>’s “boxing” intrusive, traumatic memories), male communities of care, and interdependent empathy. …”

Linearity of natural versus laboratory-imparted remanence demagnetization diagram and reliability of relative paleointensity estimation by Toshitsugu Yamazaki, Jiaxi Li

“…Abstract Information on geomagnetic field intensity in the past is essential for understanding the behavior and mechanism of the geodynamo. A fundamental unresolved problem of relative paleointensity (RPI) estimations from marine sediments is that changes in the constituents of magnetic mineral assemblages may influence RPI estimations, called lithological contamination. …”

Experimental Study on Mechanical Properties and Energy Evolution Law of Coal-Rock Composite Structure under Different Interface Connection Modes by Chenglin Tian, Haitao Sun, Linchao Dai, Rifu Li, Bo Wang, Jie Cao, Jun Wang, Qianting Hu

“…The failure mode is mainly a plastic shear failure, and the deformation of coal is much larger than that of rock in the composite structure. (3) The interface contact mode affects the mechanical behavior of coal and rock structure. The strong contact interface influences the strength, displacement, and energy accumulation of coal and rock structure, among which the influence on energy and displacement is greater, which is helpful to the improvement of strength. …”
