Mine Flooding History of a Regional Below-Drainage Coalfield Dominated by Barrier Leakage (1970–2014) by Joseph J. Donovan, Eric F. Perry

“…The earliest flooding formed small pools within near-surface mines closed prior to 1962 yet still pumped following closure to minimize leaking into adjacent still-active workings. These subpools gradually enlarged and merged as more closures occurred and the need for protective pumping was removed, forming what is today referred to as the unconfined Fairmont Pool. …”

Inflammatory Monocyte Subsets Correlation with Iron Levels in Low Vitamin D Pediatric Transfusion-Dependent Thalassemia by Ghozali M, Matahari M, Cahyadi AI, Agustini SD, Ghrahani R, Reniarti L, Setiabudiawan B, Panigoro R

“…Considering the mechanisms of vitamin D activation and its potential interaction with monocytes, further investigation of its immunomodulatory role in transfusion-dependent thalassemia is essential.Purpose: This study evaluated monocyte subsets, population, and surface receptor expression (CD14, CD16, and HLA-DR), and their association with iron status and vitamin D levels in patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia.Patients and Methods: Fifty lysed erythrocyte-heparinized whole blood samples from transfusion-dependent thalassemia patients were analyzed by flow cytometry and classified into three monocyte subsets: CD14++CD16- (classical), CD14++CD16+ (intermediate), and CD14+CD16++ (non-classical). …”

Characterization of polyethylene and polyurethane microplastics and their adsorption behavior on Cu2+ and Fe3+ in environmental matrices by Ilaria Zanoni, Lucia Briccolani, Lara Faccani, Magda Blosi, Simona Ortelli, Matteo Crosera, Giovanna Marussi, Stefania Albonetti, Anna Luisa Costa

“…Both materials showed in bidistilled water negative zeta potential (ZP) at natural pH (ZP = − 51.0 ± 4.3 mV at pH = 6.6 and ZP = − 29.5 ± 1.4 mV at pH = 5.6 for LDPE and PU, respectively), justified by the presence of surface-active charged impurities. In saline media, ZP vs. pH curves were flatter, with ZP values near 0 mV, confirming the reduced colloidal stability from higher ionic strength and double-layer compression. …”
