Freeze-Thaw Performance of Silt Sand Treated with Lignin by Fu Zhu, Jiayu Li, Wenhao Jiang, Shuang Zhang, Weizhi Dong

“…The test results of soil microstructure indicated that, before freeze-thaw, the silt sand and silt sand treated with lignin were structurally compact; after freeze-thaw, the silt sand showed numerous cracks and pores and had a loose soil structure, whereas the silt sand treated with lignin showed fewer cracks and pores, and its soil structure was more compact under the encapsulation and filling action of cementitious materials. No new chemical elements, mineral components, or functional groups were produced when lignin was mixed with silt sand. …”

Modeling of two-dimensional MoxW_1−xS_2ySe_2(1−y) alloy band structure by N. Yu. Pimenov, S. D. Lavrov, A. V. Kudryavtsev, A. Yu. Avdizhiyan

“…The most effective way to solve this problem is to use two-dimensional TMD films based on multicomponent alloys, including three or more different chemical elements (while TMDs consist of two). By varying their morphological composition, one can control the value of the band gap and thus their optical absorption spectrum. …”

The BLUP method in evaluation of breeding values of Russian spring wheat lines using micro- and macroelements in seeds by N. A. Potapova, A. S. Zlobin, I. N. Leonova, E. A. Salina, Y. A. Tsepilov

“…In this work, the BLUP method was used to assess the breeding value of 149 Russian varieties and introgression lines (4 measurements for each variety or line, 596 phenotypic points) of spring wheat according to the content of seven chemical elements in the grain – K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu. …”

Assessment of Physiological Traits of <i>Fragaria vesca</i> Genotypes Under Water Deficit Conditions by Marta Rokosa, Małgorzata Mikiciuk, Piotr Ptak

“…For the content of chemical elements, the changes reached up to 157.1%. The results suggest that plants obtained from natural environments exhibit better adaptation to water deficit conditions, making them suitable for use in breeding programs aimed at developing varieties resistant to soil water deficits. …”

Evaluation of Solubility, and Volumetric and Morphological Alterations of Bioceramic Filling Material for Primary Teeth: A New Methodological Approach by Víctor M. Ochoa-Rodríguez, Hernán Coaguila-Llerena, Leandro Fernandes, Ana B. B. Solcia, Juliane M. Guerreiro-Tanomaru, Mário Tanomaru-Filho, Gisele Faria

“…The surface distribution of the chemical elements and the crystalline phases was evaluated by energy scattering X-ray scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to detect hydroxyapatite precipitate and components. …”

Pierre et carrières dans la Saintonge antique : identification, usages et diffusion by Jacques Gaillard, Egle Conforto

“…An emitter produces an electron probe that scans the six contiguous areas of the thin slide, which will cause secondary electrons to emerge from the surface of the sample, providing the topography of the grains, as well as backscattered electrons whose contrast is related to the atomic number of the chemical elements present. At the same time, the characteristic X-rays also emitted by the sample make it possible to determine the nature of the grains, the quantity and the identity of the chemical elements present on the surface by obtaining spectra and quantification tables. …”

The influence of the El Niño phenomenon on appearance of large-scale forest fires and their ecological consequences by L. F. Chernogor, A. N. Nekos, G. V. Titenko, L. L. Chornohor

“…The ejections of other chemical elements were significantly less. The construction of mathematical models made it possible to calculate the concentration and mass of harmful substances emitted during the burning of populated areas caused by forest fires. …”
