MATHEMATICAL-CARTOGRAPHIC MODELING AND CARTOGRAPHY OP DEMOGRAPHIC SITUATION IN THE REGIONS OF EUROPE AND RUSSIA by A. I. Igonin, V. S. Tikunov

“…The multivariate typology gave heterogeneous results, which makes it possible to assess a wide range of territorial features of the demographic characteristics of the population and identify patterns of their distribution. So, for the typology of the second option, instead of the indicator of life expectancy, the general mortality rate was used, which strengthens the significance of this development for the analysis of the demographic movement of the population and gives a clearer idea of the causes and genesis of the dynamics of the demographic situation. …”

Direct Pore‐Scale Numerical Simulation of Microbially Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation by Mohammad Amin Razbani, Espen Jettestuen, Anja Røyne

“…We also explored effects of biomass density and biomass distribution on the reactive transport factors, as well as the effect of the urea to calcium ratio on the resulting crystallization patterns. We found that a higher ratio of rate of ureolysis to rate of precipitation leads to more nucleation sites and more uniform calcite precipitation in the geometry.…”
