However, John Dalton wrongly postulated that when atoms combine only in one ratio, it must be assumed to be binary (in two) one. He got formula of water as HO and ammonia as NH that were both incorrect as he got the atomic weights of oxygen and nitrogen incorrect. A lot of his own...
The later stages of Earth's transition to a permanently oxygenated atmosphere during the Great Oxidation Event (GOE; ∼2.43–2.06 Ga) is commonly linked with the suggestion of an “oxygen overshoot” during the ∼2.22–2.06 Ga Lomagundi Event (LE), which represents Earth's most pronounced ...
Over Boreal regions, monoterpenes emitted from the forest are the main precursors for secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation and the primary driver of the growth of new aerosol particles to climatically important cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Autoxidation of monoterpenes leads to rapid formation ...

The physical properties and the volume ratio of the absorbent affects the uniformity of heating distribution. It is pertinent to mention that most laboratory studies employed reworked standard microwave ovens as pyrolysis reactors to perform co-pyrolysis of plastic and biomass wastes. The power level ...
The MGA reproduces the O3 mixing ratio measured by the in situ instrumentation with a difference of 28%. The different air masses scanned by each instrument are identified as a cause of the discrepancy between the O3 observed by MAX-DOAS and the in situ measurements. The NO2 is in the ...
A surfeit of M1 macrophages accumulates within the wound, excreting pro-inflammatory cytokines like tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and producing reactive oxygen species [12]. This action consecutively induces oxidative stress and a cellular damage microenvironment within the wound, resulting ...
2c). The aspect ratios (the ratio of the lengths of the long and short axes of a crystal) of these “randomly oriented” calcite crystals are largely <5, with no remarkable size variation. Each calcite crystal is consistently elongate along the c-axis of the trigonal system (Fig. 2c–...
Today, Earth’s oxygen-rich (21% O2by volume) atmosphere drives a marine sulfur cycle dominated by oxidative weathering. Rivers supply the ocean with substantial loads of dissolved sulfate (SO42−) derived from the oxidation of pyrite and the dissolution of sulfate minerals in roughly equal pro...
The rise of atmospheric oxygen during the Great Oxidation Event some 2.4 billion years ago was a defining transition in the evolution of global biogeochemical cycles and life on Earth. However, mild oxidative continental weathering and the development of ocean oxygen oases occurred several hundred mill...
