Trace element composition of size-fractionated suspended particulate matter samples from the Qatari Exclusive Economic Zone of the Arabian Gulf: the role of atmospheric dust by Oguz Yigiterhan (14151006)

“…For several other elements (Cd, Cu, Mo, Zn, and Ca) the excess concentrations present after lithogenic correction are most likely of biogenic/anthropogenic origin. The excess concentrations, relative to average dust, for most elements (except Cd) decreased with distance from the shore, which may be due to differences in biology, currents, proximity to the coast, or interannual processes.…”

XPS and material properties of raw and oxidized carbide-derived carbon and their application in antifreeze thermal fluids/nanofluids by Ismail W. Almanassra (14151321)
