  2. Pyrite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrite

    A newer commercial use for pyrite is as the cathode material in Energizer brand non-rechargeable lithium metal batteries. [20] Pyrite is a semiconductor material with a band gap of 0.95 eV. [21] Pure pyrite is naturally n-type, in both crystal and thin-film forms, potentially due to sulfur vacancies in the pyrite crystal structure acting as n ...

    SWIIM software models best practices to optimize water use and tracks savings within all elements of the crop water budget on an aggregated (system-wide) basis. [2] It was designed to give water right owners the opportunity to lease a portion of their consumptive-use water rights to municipalities, private industry, and conservation groups ...

    Charges for the use of water are among the best known economic instruments for water policies. They can contribute to the transmission of market signals which are coherent with policy aims, if their design is transparent and revenues are earmarked to uses connected to the service or to the mitigation of impacts from water uses.

    Communication of the science of how water systems work is an important aspect when creating a management plan to conserve that system and is often used for ensuring the right management plan to be put into action. [11] The conservation of water is extremely important in order to preserve wildlife habitats.

  7. Beecher's Trilobite type preservation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beecher's_Trilobite_type...

    The pyrite formed in voids left when soft tissue had decayed, and the tough exoskeleton formed a cavity which could be filled by euhedral pyrite. [2] Pyrite replacement of soft tissue can only occur in exceptional circumstances of sediment chemistry when there is a low organic content, but a high concentration of dissolved iron. [1] [4] [5]

  8. Environmental economics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_economics

    Environmental economic regulations find the cheapest emission abatement efforts first, and then move on to the more expensive methods. E.g. as said earlier, trading, in the quota system, means a firm only abates pollution if doing so would cost less than paying someone else to make the same reduction.

  9. Riotinto-Nerva mining basin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riotinto-Nerva_mining_basin

    During this time, pyrite production became destined for domestic consumption, while the amount of pyrites for export was significantly reduced. A large portion of this pyrites was destined to the factories that were built in the chemical park of Huelva, [43] created in 1964 to promote the economic development of the area. In this context ...
