Influence of volatiles (H$_{2}$O and CO$_{2}$) on shoshonite phase equilibria by Vetere, Francesco, Namur, Olivier, Holtz, Francois, Almeev, Renat, Donato, Paola, Frondini, Francesco, Cassetta, Michele, Pisello, Alessandro, Perugini, Diego

“…The addition of CO$_{2}$ (2.8 wt%) in nominally dry experimental charges substantially reduces the crystallinity by ca. 1/3 compared to volatile free experiments. This result has important consequences upon the physical properties of the magma because it influences its viscosity and, as a consequence, velocity during its travel to the Earth surface.Assuming that the widths of Vulcanello conduits vary from 0.5 to 1.5 m, estimates of the ascent velocity vary in the range 1.5 ${\times }$ 10$^{-4}$–3.5 ${\times }$ 10$^{-2}$ m${\cdot }$s$^{-1}$ for CO$_{2}$ free systems and from 5.7 ${\times }$ 10$^{-4}$–1.3 ${\times }$ 10$^{-1}$ m${\cdot }$s$^{-1}$ for CO$_{2}$ bearing systems.Since shoshonitic magmas are common not only in the Italian volcanic provinces (Aeolian Arc, Campi Flegrei, Ischia Island, Pontine Islands, Monti Cimini, Monte Amiata, Capraia Island, Radicofani, Roccamonfina) but also in different volcanoes worldwide (Yellowstone, Mariana Arc, Kurile Arc, Tonga Arc, Andean Arc, Kamchatka Arc), we suggest that the new data will be useful to better understand shoshonitic magma behaviour under relevant geological scenarios. …”

Comprehensive evaluation of physico-chemical, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties in commercial soaps: A study on bar soaps and liquid hand wash by Jannatul Ferdous Nova, Susmita Zaman Smrity, Mahadi Hasan, Md. Tariquzzaman, Md Al Amin Hossain, Md. Tanvirul Islam, Md. Raysul Islam, Selina Akter, Md. Sifat Rahi, Md. Tuhinur R. Joy, Zannatul Kowser

“…Combining all the parameters, SN 3 has good results among bar soaps with mild moisturizing and cleansing properties (MC-8.30 ± 0.035 %, FH-22.33 ± 0.29 cm), is safe for the skin (pH-9.83 ± 0.02, TAC-0.99 ± 0.03), has good TFM values (72.89 %), has proficient bacteria growth-inhibiting properties (ZI-18.67 ± 0.29 mm/100 % conc.) and has the ability to remove free radicals (357.41 ± 2.07 μg/mL). Besides, SN-21 among liquid hand wash soaps possesses overall excellence as it moisturizes skin well (MC-83.75 ± 0.05 %), is almost safe for skin (pH-7.73 ± 0.02, TAC-0.98 ± 0.01 %), has TFM (11.35 %), has good cleansing capacity (FH-22.66 ± 0.58 cm) and bacteria growth inhibiting activity (29.27 ± 0.25 mm/100 % conc.), destroys selected bacteria (MIC – 1.2 × 107 CFU at 1 min and 5.5 × 107 CFU at 10 seconds), and wash away free radicals from skin (420.64 ± 3.62 μg/mL).…”
