In this study, U 3 Si 2 pellets were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) of U 3 Si 2
clinkers generated by a high-temperature solid reaction between U and Si powders. The …

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a prevalent noninflammatory
spondyloarthropathy characterized by ectopic mineral formation along the anterolateral …

Large (> 100 km) meteorite impact cratering events play important roles in surface and
biosphere evolution, however, their potential for widespread ductile modification of the …

Naturally occurring and deeply coloured iron-bearing materials were exploited very early on
by human populations. The characterization of these materials has proven useful for …
