Armida V. Gillado and Marvin U.Herrera Institute of Mathematical Sciences and Physics College of Arts and Sciences UP Los Baños Copper Sulfate-Embedded and Copper Oxide-Embedded Filter Paper and their Antimicrobial Properties. Materials Chemistry and Physics, 207: 147-153, 1 March 2018. Copper sulfate and Copper oxide particles were deposited on filter paper to create an antimicrobial surface. Copper sulfate was successfully embedded in filter paper through simple soaking, whereas the copper oxide-embedded filter paper was successfully produced using in situ technique using the copper sulfate-embedded paper as a starting material. The antimicrobial property of the embedded filter papers were tested using Disc […]

Ramos National Institute of Geological Sciences College of Sciences UP Diliman Petrological and Geochemical Characteristics of the Samar Ophiolite Ultramafic Section: Implications on the Origins of the Ophiolites in Samar and Leyte Islands, Philippines. International Geology Review, 60 (4): 401-417, 12 March 2018. Fragments of fossil oceanic lithospheres are called ophiolites. Studies dealing with the petrological and geochemical characteristics of ultramafic sections of Philippine ophiolites are primarily interpreted in a regional perspective. It is believed that ophiolites exposed in the different parts of the Philippines were emplaced from […]
