Applying machine learning to model radon using topsoil geochemistry
(2023)Radon is classified as a Class 1 carcinogen, being the leading cause of lung cancer in non-smokers. Understanding the prominent sources of radon helps to mitigate against the adverse effects of radon exposure. Considering ... -
Physicochemical and Additive Controls on the Multistep Precipitation Pathway of Gypsum
(MDPI, 2017)Synchrotron-based small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) was used to examine in situ the precipitation of gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) from solution. We determined the role of (I) supersaturation, (II) temperature and ... -
Salinity-Dependent Adhesion Response Properties of Aluminosilicate (K-Feldspar) Surfaces
(2017)Flooding sandstone oil reservoirs with low salinity water can lead to a significant increase in oil recovery, a phenomenon called “the low salinity effect”. Although there are many factors that contribute to this response, ...
