AI Article Synopsis

  • The Matachel Basin in the Ossa-Morena Zone features a basaltic sequence from the Upper Tournaisian - Viséan period due to both effusive and explosive volcanic activity in shallow waters.
  • A study analyzed 23 basaltic and gabbroic samples, using Electron Microprobe analysis for mineral chemistry in 9 of those samples, resulting in 501 individual mineral chemical data points.
  • The findings reveal the rock compositions include various minerals like plagioclase and clinopyroxene, providing valuable insights into the lava emission and eruptive dynamics in shallow-marine environments within intra-continental basins.

Article Abstract

The Matachel Basin is a tectono-stratigraphic unit of Ossa-Morena Zone (southern Iberian Massif) that encompasses an Upper Tournaisian - Viséan basaltic sequence, generated by effusive and explosive eruptions in a shallow submarine setting. A collection of 23 basaltic and gabbroic samples were selected for detailed petrographic descriptions, which included a mineral chemistry characterization by means of Electron Microprobe analysis in 9 rock samples. In this contribution a total of 501 mineral chemical data are presented, which correspond to plagioclase (208 analysis), clinopyroxene (202 analysis), amphibole (64 analysis), opaque minerals (18 analysis), and alkali feldspar (9 analysis). According to mineral classification diagrams analyzed rock samples are composed by albite-labradorite (An), augite (WoEnFs), magnesiohornblende, ferrohornblende, ferropargasite, titanian magnesiohastingsite, orthoclase (Or), titanomagnetite, and ilmenite. Presented dataset provides a robust information of the nature of the outpouring lava emissions in shallow-marine intra-continental basins, and would enhance a better understanding of eruptive dynamics in this type of tectonic settings.

Photothermal therapy, in which a laser is an effective tool, is a promising method for cancer treatment. Laser parameters, including power, irradiation time, type of laser radiation (continuous or chopped), and the concentration of the photothermal agent, can affect the efficiency of this method. Therefore, this study investigated and compared the effects of different laser parameters on the efficiency of photothermal treatment for cervical cancer, which is the fourth most prevalent cancer in women.

Nanopesticides have been recently introduced as novel pesticides to overcome the drawbacks of using traditional synthetic pesticides. The present study evaluated the acaricidal activity of Copper/Graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles against two tick species, Rhipicephalus rutilus and Rhipicephalus turanicus. The Copper/Graphene oxide core-shell nanoparticles were synthetized through the solution plasma (SP) method under different conditions.

Common adhesives for nonstructural applications are manufactured using petrochemicals and synthetic solvents. These adhesives are associated with environmental and health concerns because of their release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Biopolymer adhesives are an attractive alternative because of lower VOC emissions, but their strength is often insufficient.

: The synthesis of fluoridated apatite consists of several stages, among which the heat treatment has a significant impact on the physical and chemical properties. The present study aims to elucidate the influence of two different sintering methods on fluoride-substituted apatite properties. : For this purpose, a two F-substituted apatites were produced by heat treatment in different ways called "rapid sintering" and "slow sintering".
