“…However, no unambiguous geochemical data supporting this claim have been put forward in rocks older than 2.7–2.5 giga years (Gyr). In the present work, we report in situ Fe and S isotope composition of pyrite from 3.28‐ to 3.26‐Gyr‐old cherts from the upper Mendon Formation, South Africa. …”

“…This rapid-change is recorded in Nd isotopes and in key trace element ratios that reflect a fundamental shift in the balance between fluid-mobile and incompatible elements (i.e., Ba/La, Ba/Nb, U/Nb, Pb/Nd and Pb/Ce) in basaltic and komatiitic rocks. These geochemical proxies display a significant increase in magnitude and variability after ~3.2 Ga. …”

“…To explore the method and mechanism to further improve the effect of imbibition oil recovery, we study the imbibition and oil recovery effect and its influencing factors in a low-permeability reservoir in the Dagang Oilfield based on evaluation indexes of the adhesion work reduction factor, ratio of capillary force to gravity N(B)(–1), regression analysis of the recovery rate of imbibition, proportional relationship with spontaneous imbibition, and dynamic imbibition effect in crack rocks. Results show that reducing the interfacial tension of the surfactant on the imbibition process has a dual effect. …”

“…Formaggio di Fossa di Sogliano is a traditional Italian Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) cheese ripened for a minimum of 5 months, with the feature of a ripening of at least 80 to at most 100 days in pits, digged into tuffaceous rocks according to medieval tradition of Italy. In this study, a challenge test using Listeria innocua as a surrogate of Listeria monocytogenes was performed, with the aim of increasing knowledge concerning the impact of the Fossa cheese process, and especially of the traditional ripening process of this PDO, on the behaviour of L. monocytogenes. …”

“…To optimize laboratory growth of soft corals in a way that could also benefit industry (e.g., aquarium trade), three culture systems were tested herein with Sarcophyton glaucum: (1) a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) without exogenous biological input (RAS−B), (2) a RAS with “live” rocks and an exogenous food supply (RAS+B), and (3) a simple flow-through system (FTS) featuring partially filtered natural seawater. …”

“…The Riardo basin hosts groundwater exploited for the production of high quality, naturally sparkling, bottled water (e.g., Ferrarelle water), and circulating in a system constituted by highly fractured Mesozoic carbonates, overlain by more impervious volcanic rocks of the Roccamonfina complex. The two formations are locally in hydraulic connection and dislocated by deep-rooted faults. …”

“…In this work, a stochastic method and three generative adversarial networks (GANs), namely deep convolutional GAN (DCGAN), Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP), and StyleGAN2 with adaptive discriminator augmentation (ADA), are used to reconstruct two-dimensional images of two hydrothermally rocks with varying degrees of complexity. For the first time, we evaluate and compare the performance of these methods using multi-point spatial correlation functions—known as statistical microstructural descriptors (SMDs)—ultimately used as external tools to the loss functions. …”
