Geyser geothermal fields are scenic volcanic landforms that often contain tens to hundreds of thermal spot vents that erupt boiling water or contain bubbling mud pools.The fields are potentially hazardous sites due to boiling water temperatures and changes in vent locations and eruption dynamics, which are poorly understood.Here we report on the ra

Ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) are plant toxins that were identified for their ability to irreversibly damage ribosomes, thereby causing arrest of protein synthesis SANTASAPINA BONBONS and induction of cell death.The RIPs purified from Adenia plants are the most potent ones.Here, we describe a novel toxic lectin from Adenia heterophylla caud

A detailed map of the structure of the west Spitsbergen fold-and-thrust belt in the Isfjorden area, Spitsbergen, is presented.The map was constructed from a dense grid of two-dimensional multichannel reflection seismic and bathymetric data.Joint interpretation of two data sets allowed a comparison of tectonic structures detected along the uppermost

Summary: The circular economy is vital for sustainability, yet its resilience to unexpected socio-economic shocks is not well understood.This study explores the impact of one of the major global disruptive events, the COVID-19 pandemic, on the circular economy by focusing on copper Leucine recycling.Using transaction-level data from a waste trading
