The variations of velocity in limestones have not fallen into as definite a pattern as have those in sandstones and shales. Although it is conceded generally that textural characteristics are more important than mineral content in determining the velocity in sandstones and shales, the possibility that the concentration of magnesium carbonate may appreciably alter the velocity in a limestone is investigated. It is found that dolomitization can be expected to have an effect on the velocity, but that effect is not certain, in that it depends on the nature of the dolomitization process. A volume for volume replacement of calcite by dolomite tends to increase the velocity, but dolomitization giving rise to local porosity, whether the resulting interstices are empty or filled by non‐carbonate material, tends to decrease the velocity.

In view of growing requirements of the food industry regarding elderberries (genus Sambucus), a need to increase their productivity and improve their chemical composition has emerged. With this purpose in mind, numerous elderberry interspecific hybrids have been created. In the present work, the content of minerals in their crucial plant parts was studied. It was also investigated whether superior genotypes regarding the mineral composition of berries and inflorescences could be predicted at early stages of plant development. The results showed that elderberry leaves contained the highest amounts of Ca, Mg, Mn, Zn, and Sr, while K and P were predominant in fruit stalks. Fe and Al prevailed in roots and Cu in bark. Although berries showed lower mineral content compared to other plant parts, their mineral content is not negligible and could be comparable to other commonly consumed berries. Genotypes with a favorable mineral content of inflorescences and berries could be predicted on the basis of known mineral composition of their shoots and leaves. The study also indicates that S. nigra genotypes and the majority of interspecific hybrids analyzed are suitable for further genetic breeding or cultivation.

The Mean

The aim of the study was to determine the basic chemical composition and mineral content in the sirloin and offal of fattener pigs, taking their sex into consideration. In addition, comparative analysis of the content of chemical and mineral components in the sirloin and offal was performed. The experimental material included 24 crossbred (Polish Landrace × Polish Large White) fatteners, from which samples of sirloin (musculus longissimus lumborum), liver, heart, and kidneys were collected for the analysis. A significant effect of the sex on the fat content in the sirloin and liver and on the level of magnesium (Mg), zinc, and iron (Fe) in the sirloin was demonstrated. Significant differences were found in the basic chemical composition and mineral content between the sirloin and the offal. In comparison with the liver, the sirloin contained lower amounts of protein and fat and higher potassium and Mg contents. In turn, the offal was shown to be a rich source of sodium, calcium, and trace elements (Fe, manganese, and copper). The mean cadmium concentration in the sirloin and offal was significantly lower than the threshold values for these elements, i.e., it accounted for 26% and 6.2% (liver)–19.5% (heart) of the allowable content of this element in pork meat and offal.

The Impact

Designing smart water (SW) by optimizing the chemical composition of injected brine is a promising low-cost technique that has been developed for both sandstone and carbonate reservoirs for several decades. In this study, the impact of SW flooding during tertiary oil recovery phase was investigated by core flooding analysis of pure limestone carbonate rocks. Increasing the sulfate ion concentration by using CaSO4 and MgSO4 of NaCl concentration and finally reducing the total salinity were the main manipulations performed to optimize SW. The main objective of this research is to compare active cations including Ca2+ and Mg2+ in the presence of sulfate ions (SO42−) with regard to their efficiency in the enhancement of oil production during SW flooding of carbonate cores. The results revealed a 14.5% increase in the recovery factor by CaSO4 proving its greater effectiveness compared to MgSO4, which led to an 11.5% production enhancement. It was also realized that low-salinity water flooding (LSWF) did not lead to a significant positive effect as it contributed less than 2% in the tertiary stage.

Character of Nb and Ta distribution in the different geological formations of the Aldan Shield are given in this article. To get idea about betafite from different endogenic etalon formations the authors analyzed its well known locations in the pegmatites, skarns, carbonatites, metasomatites and late veins segregations. Geological setting and mineralogical composition of the apatite-bearing rocks from the Aldan Shield are described, and the most significant in scale metamorphosed carbonate and silicate varieties among them have been distinguished. Apatite mineralization in magnesium skarns and metasomatites is developed locally. Titanite and betafite are the main concentrators of Nb and Ta and apatite is typical accompanying mineral in the studied rocks. Betafite was detected in the pegmatite bodies from magnesium skarns and metasomatites of the Shield with irregular distribution within rocks rich and poor in apatite, but was not found in the most developed apatite-carbonate rocks which are regarded as ores of the Seligdar type, so it cannot be mineralogical indicator for this type of ores. Late carbonate generations are significantly enriched in light carbon and oxygen isotopes in contrast to positive δ13Ñ values in apatitecarbonate bodies of the Seligdar deposit and its family and the highest δ18Î values. We used these indicators to distinguish origin of the rocks with various carbonate generations, which have different amounts of betafite. Appearance of betafite is determined by primary composition of the initial rocks. Chemical composition of betafites from the skarns and metasomatites is similar, but with local variations. The most significant feature of the mineral composition is very low Ta content. Titanite is characterized by variable amounts of Nb and Ta in scale of sectors as well as within separate grains.
