Optimization of variables for cadmium and copper removal using magnetic nanocomposite by Chou-Yi Hsu, Mohammed Ahmed Mustafa, Ghadir Kamil Ghadir, Pooja Bansal, Harpreet Kaur, Amjed Qasim Mohammed, Alzahraa S. Abdulwahid, Ahmed Remthan Hussein, Sahira Qasim Namaha, Ahmed Ali Ami, Usama Kadem Radi, Laith H. Alzubaidi, Ali Kazemi

“…Abstract This study aims to investigate cadmium and copper ultrasound-assisted removal efficiency on a laboratory scale using a cobalt ferrite/activated carbon (COF/AC) composite as an adsorbent. For this purpose, the effect of four independent variables (i.e., composite amount, pH, heavy metal concentrations, and ultrasound radiation time) on the performance of the cadmium and copper removal was investigated. …”

Crustal Heterogeneity of Antarctica Signals Spatially Variable Radiogenic Heat Production by L. Li, A. R. A. Aitken

“…To define this at continent‐scale we use 3D gravity inversion constrained by seismic Moho estimates to identify variations in crustal composition and geometry beneath thick ice. Geochemically‐defined empirical relationships between density and heat production capture the global average trend and its variability, and allow to estimate from upper‐crust density spatial variations in radiogenic heat production. …”
