TL;DR: Isotopic analysis of methane indicates the timing and location of hydrocarbon gas formation in natural settings, and methane clumped-isotope temperatures distinguish among and allow for independent tests of possible gas-formation models in systems where gases have migrated and other proxies for gas-generation temperature yield ambiguous results.
Abstract: Methane is an important greenhouse gas and energy resource generated dominantly by methanogens at low temperatures and through the breakdown of organic molecules at high temperatures. However, methane-formation temperatures in nature are often poorly constrained. We measured formation temperatures of thermogenic and biogenic methane using a “clumped isotope” technique. Thermogenic gases yield formation temperatures between 157° and 221°C, within the nominal gas window, and biogenic gases yield formation temperatures consistent with their comparatively lower-temperature formational environments (<50°C). In systems where gases have migrated and other proxies for gas-generation temperature yield ambiguous results, methane clumped-isotope temperatures distinguish among and allow for independent tests of possible gas-formation models.

TL;DR: Here it is shown that biodegradation of dispersed oil is prompt and extensive when oil is present at the ppm levels expected from a successful application of dispersants, similar to rates extrapolated from the field in the Deepwater Horizon response.

TL;DR: In this paper, the optical properties of thin a-SiHx films were studied and the intrinsic optical limitations on the performance of the SiHx cells were defined for the absorption range 10−1-106 cm−1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a generalized three-stage model in which mechanical stratigraphy at times restricts fault growth and the degree of elastic fault interaction, as well as the geometry and statistics of the system.

TL;DR: X-ray scattering and surface tension measurements reveal the formation of a crystalline monolayer on the surface of liquid [ital n]-alkanes at about 3 [degree]C above the bulk solidification temperature.
Abstract: X-ray scattering and surface tension measurements reveal the formation of a crystalline monolayer on the surface of liquid n-alkanes at about 3 \ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}C above the bulk solidification temperature. The molecules in the monolayer are hexagonally packed and oriented normal to the surface. The single solid monolayer persists down to the bulk solidification temperature, thus exhibiting a very limited partial wetting.
