The dataset [1] hosts pedological info and images of the lands -locally known as - of the outcropping gypsiferous core of the Barbastro-Balaguer anticline (Fig. 1). It stands out in the landscape for the linear reliefs due to outcrops of dipping strata with differential resistance to erosion, and also because of its whitish color (Fig.

A bimetallic organic framework (CuNi-MOF) was synthesized as a corrosion inhibitor using the solvothermal method. The effectiveness of the inhibitor in corrosion prevention of AISI 304 and 316 in 1N hydrochloric acid solution at room temperature was evaluated using weight loss measurements, electrochemical methods, and surface characterization techniques. The formation of CuNi-MOF protective layer on the stainless-steel surface was confirmed through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopes (FESEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis.

Eutrophication and hypereutrophication in lakes foster harmful blue-green algal blooms, which pose a significant threat to the ecological health of freshwater reservoirs. This study investigated the effectiveness of the bio-flocculation approach using the fungus strain BGF4A1 to remove these harmful blooms, specifically targeting cyanobacterial species like PCC-7914. Key flocculation parameters, cyanobacterial concentrations, adsorption kinetics, and pellet morphology were explored in this research.

Purpose: To assess the impact of anodization and instrumentation on titanium abutment surface characteristics (surface roughness and wettability) and biofilm formation (viability and mass).
Materials And Methods: Titanium discs were obtained from pre-milled abutment blanks made of titanium-6aluminum-7niobium alloy. Polished samples were divided into three groups: un-anodized, gold-anodized, and pink-anodized.
