A Review of the Hydrochemistry of a Deep Sedimentary Aquifer and Its Consequences for Geothermal Operation: Klaipeda, Lithuania by Maren Brehme, Kerstin Nowak, David Banks, Sigitas Petrauskas, Robertas Valickas, Klaus Bauer, Neil Burnside, Adrian Boyce

“…Hydrochemical and isotopic data support the existing hypothesis that the groundwater is dominated by a hypersaline brine derived from evapoconcentrated seawater, modified by water-rock interaction and admixed with smaller quantities of more recent glacial meltwater and/or interglacial recharge. The injectivity of the two injection boreholes has declined dramatically during the operational lifetime of the KGDP. …”

East Antarctic Ice Sheet variability in the central Transantarctic Mountains since the mid Miocene by G. R. M. Bromley, G. R. M. Bromley, G. Balco, G. Balco, M. S. Jackson, A. Balter-Kennedy, A. Balter-Kennedy, H. Thomas

“…Nonetheless, it remains uncertain whether the ice sheet is likely to undergo net loss due to amplified melting coupled with dynamic instabilities or whether such losses will be balanced, or even offset, by enhanced accumulation under a higher-precipitation regime. The glacial depositional record from the central Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) provides a robust geologic means to reconstruct the past behaviour of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet, including during periods thought to have been warmer than today, such as the mid-Pliocene Warm Period (<span class="inline-formula">∼3.3</span>–3.0 Ma). …”

Effect of Additives on Electrodeposition of Copper in Ch Cl-Gl A Low Eutectic Solvent by LIU Yang, HAO Jianjun, YIN Hongkun, WANG Xinhui

“…The use of additives facilitates the deposition of copper on metal substrates.In this work，using choline chloride glacial acetic acid(Ch Cl-Gl A) as a low eutectic solvent and copper acetate as the main salt， the effects of ascorbic acid(C6H8O6)， disodium ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid(EDTA-2Na) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid(DTPA) as additives on electrodeposition of copper on iron substrate were investigated.Electrochemical behavior was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronoamperometry (CA)； scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD) were used to observe and analyze the morphology and composition of the coating.The UV-visible absorption spectrum of the complex formed in the electrodeposited solution with different additives was analyzed by a UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer.Results indicated that in Ch Cl-Gl A， the electrodeposition of copper involved two steps of oxidation-reduction with the first step of Cu2＋→Cu＋and the second step of Cu＋→Cu.All three additives promoted the deposition of copper in Ch Cl-Gl A，and ascorbic acid had the best effect，which could obtain a copper coating with good performance at room temperature.The electrodeposition of copper in Ch Cl-Gl A followed a three-dimensional instantaneous nucleation process and was an irreversible reaction controlled by diffusion.Moreover，the diffusion coefficients of Cu2＋and Cu＋could reach 4.003 9&#x00D7;10－7&#x00A0;cm2/s，4.762 7&#x00D7;10－7&#x00A0;cm2/s，respectively.The copper crystal prepared with ascorbic acid as additive was a polygonal sheet-like structure with distinct grains，and the optimal crystal plane was the (111) crystal plane.Besides，the average grain sizes of the copper layer with additives DTPA，EDTA-2Na and C6H8O6&#x00A0;were 50.71，55.12 and 52.73 nm.The average grain size of the copper layer without additive was 44.73 nm.…”

Optimization extraction process of Shenghua Decoction and evaluation of its analgesic effects by Zhonghui Pu, Lijuan Chen, Huaidan Liu, Jingzhu Deng, Li Li, Liang Xiong, Liuying Li

“…The optimum conditions led to maximal combined content of ferulic acid and senkyunolide I at 1.2336 mg/g averaged from three validation tests (RSD = 1.84 %, n = 3), 0.9347 mg/g for ferulic acid and 0.2989 mg/g for senkyunolide I, and the bias ratio was 1.82 % compared with the predicted value of 1.251 mg/g, indicating the experimental values obtained from the BBD model agreed with that of the predicted values.Analgesic activity results indicated that SHD at all doses significantly reduced the number of twists induced by glacial acetic acid dose-dependently, and prolonged latency of foot licking to varying degrees at every stage of mice hot-plate test. …”

“…By combining population genetics, niche modeling and landscape genomics, we suggest that B. distachyon recolonized Europe and the Middle East following the last glacial maximum. Consequently, the species faced new environmental conditions which led to clear associations between bioclimatic variables and genetic factors as well as footprints of positive selection in the genome. …”
