Since approximately two decades fractal geometry offers tools for the quantification of rock fabrics, and new methods are currently under development to investigate the inhomogeneity of crystal distributions, grain- ...

Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is an important cofactor of calcium‐ and lanthanide‐dependent alcohol dehydrogenases, and has been known for over 30 years. Crystal structures of Ca–MDH enzymes (MDH is methanol dehydrogenase) ...

During evaporation of natural and synthetic K–Mg–Cl brines, the formation of almost square plate-like crystals of potassium carnallite (potassium chloride magnesium dichloride hexahydrate) was observed. A single-crystal ...

This is the editoral of a special issue that is focused on the multidisciplinary approach to cultural heritage preservation, with special care to the impact of earthquakes and their associated effects. For that, we have ...

Salinization of the upper aquifer of the northern Elbe-Weser region almost extends to the surface. Chloride content exceeds 250 mg/l and the groundwater is therefore, according to the German Drinking Water Ordinance, not ...

This article evaluates the current gaps and describes opportunities for improving flood risk management (FRM) in Ghana, West Africa. A mixed-method participatory approach comprising questionnaires, workshops, interviews ...

Lake Towuti is located on central Sulawesi/Indonesia, within the Indo Pacific Warm Pool, a globally important region for atmospheric heat and moisture budgets. In 2015 the Towuti Drilling Project recovered more than 1000 m ...

Cytenamide forms a 1:1 solvate with trifluoroacetic acid (systematic name: 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptatriene-5-carboxamide trifluoroacetic acid solvate), C16H13NO C2HF3O2. The compound crystallizes with one molecule of ...

Cubic rare‐earth sesquioxide crystals are strongly demanded host materials for high power lasers, but due to their high melting points investigations on their thermodynamics and the growth of large‐size crystals of high ...
