Co(II) and Cd(II) Complexes Derived from Heterocyclic Schiff-Bases: Synthesis, Structural Characterisation, and Biological Activity by Riyadh M. Ahmed, Enaam I. Yousif, Mohamad J. Al-Jeboori

“…These studies revealed the formation of four-coordinate complexes in which the geometry about metal ion is tetrahedral. Biological activity of the ligands and their metal complexes against gram positive bacterial strain Bacillus (G+) and gram negative bacteria Pseudomonas (G−) revealed that the metal complexes become less resistive to the microbial activities as compared to the free ligands.…”

High temperature corrosion of commercial FeCrAl alloys (Kanthal AF) in nitrogen gas by Veskovič-Bukudura S., Kovač J., Karpe B., Umek P., Nagode A., Cerc-Korošec R., Bizjak M.

“…The microstructure is characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and focused ion beam (FIB-EDX) analysis. The results show that the progression of corrosion takes place through the formation of localized subsurface nitridation regions, composed of AlN phase particles, which reduces the aluminum activity and causes embrittlement and spallation. …”

Controversial Issues of Hydrocarbon Field Formation and the Role of Geomagnetic Fields by Andrey A. Ponomarev, Marsel A. Kadyrov, Yuri V. Vaganov, Valeria A. Cheymetova, Vadim M. Aleksandrov, Aleksandr V. Morev

“…We also present the leading causes of discrete magnetic fields in the sedimentary cover: Earth’s geomagnetic reversals, generation of ferromagnetic minerals in oil deposits, electromechanical effects of rock friction near faults, and intermixing of reservoir waters with different mineralization (spontaneous ion polarization). Based on the material reported, we conclude that the radical chain mechanism of petroleum generation processes explains some contradictions of the abiogenic and biogenic theories of petroleum origin. …”
