TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the thermodynamic equations has been carried out by establishing a simple model, which shows the influence of the pore structure both on the water activity and saturation degree of involved salts.

TL;DR: In this paper, microsamples collected from Roman catacombs and samples of lime-pozzolana mortars hardened in the laboratory display higher contents in carbonated binder than other subaerial Roman monuments.

TL;DR: Tl was found mainly bound to quartz and alumino-phyllosilicates in both rocks and examined soils and frequently found associated to organic particles and diatom frustules in all samples from both mine scenarios, suggesting biogenic silicates may regulate the transfer of Tl into the soil-water system.

TL;DR: In this paper, two different types of ancient bricks (12th to 14th centuries) collected from historical buildings of Toledo (Spain) were characterised by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometers (SEM/EDS), electron probe microanalysis (EM), XRD, differential thermal analysis (DTA) and 57Fe-Mossbauer spectroscopy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the luminescence spectra of aliquots of natural transparent adularia from Saint Gothard, Switzerland, that were crushed at different energies, show the irreversible collapse of the UV 290 nm peak.
