Metasomatism and REE mineralization of the Zilair Formation sedimentary rocks in the Khudolaz complex gabbro massif exocontact zone (Chebarkul area, Southern Urals) by Evgeny I. Mikheev, Ildar R. Rakhimov, Elena O. Shaparenko, Elena I. Soroka

“…West-Magnitogorsk zone (Southern Urals) hold a lot of Early Carboniferous gabbroic and granitoid intrusions which associated with various mineralization types (Ti-Fe, Cu-Ni-PGE, Au), but information about REE mineralization is scarce. Contact hydrothermal-metasomatic processes rarely form the economic REE mineral deposits, but they can provide valuable information about the behaviors of rare earth elements. …”

An experimental study of the physical mechanisms of fluid flow in tight carbonate core samples by binary surfactants by Ayomikun Bello, Anastasia Ivanova, Alexander Rodionov, Tagir Karamov, Andrey Morkovkin, Alexey Cheremisin

“…The results showed a significant influence of the nonionic surfactant with a considerable reduction in adsorption values of 53% and 28% in its anionic-nonionic and cationic-nonionic blends, respectively. Although contact angle measurements taken after aging oil-treated carbonate discs in binary surfactant solutions indicated that wettability was not significantly altered, the binary systems demonstrated the highest efficiency in terms of oil production during spontaneous imbibition tests. …”

Effect of Skin Protectants on the Total Inward Leakage of N95 Respirators: Testing with an Advanced Static Headform by Xinyi Niu, Sergey A. Grinshpun, Michael Yermakov, Roman Jandarov, Iliya Rivkin

“…Skin protectants are becoming increasingly popular and effective in providing a protective barrier for the skin that reduces direct contact between a wearer’s face and respirator. Recent pilot studies involving human subjects have examined the effect of skin protectants on the performance of respirators/masks through fit testing, but their findings are heavily impacted by between-subject variability. …”

High-quality DNA extraction for Desmodium gangeticum: A medicinal shrub of Shivalik Himalayas by Shiwani Singh, Maneesh S. Bhandari, Neeraj Dwivedi

“…Background: Desmodium gangeticum, a crucial medicinal shrub from the Himalayan Shivalik region, is an economically important species globally. It contains a vast range of secondary metabolites, majorly polyphenols, that interfere with high-quality deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) extraction by binding their oxidised form to DNA covalently and rendering it unusable for molecular research. …”
