The average monthly prices for gold increased worldwide between January 2014 and May 2025, although with some fluctuations. In January 2014, the average monthly price for gold worldwide stood at ******** nominal U.S. dollars per troy ounce. Significant jumps in the gold prices were observed, especially in the periods of uncertainty, as the investors tend to see gold as a safe investment option. For instance, the Corona pandemic acted as a shock to the economy, resulting in substantial increases in gold prices in 2020. As of May 2025, gold valued at ******** U.S. dollars per ounce, the highest value reported during this period.

This statistic depicts the average annual prices for gold from 2014 to 2024 with a forecast until 2026. In 2024, the average price for gold stood at 2,388 U.S. dollars per troy ounce, the highest value recorded throughout the period considered. In 2026, the average gold price is expected to increase, reaching 3,200 U.S. dollars per troy ounce.

The price of gold per troy ounce increased considerably between 1990 and 2025, despite some fluctuations. A troy ounce is the international common unit of weight used for precious metals and is approximately **** grams. At the end of 2024, a troy ounce of gold cost ******* U.S. dollars. As of * June 2025, it increased considerably to ******** U.S. dollars. Price of – additional information In 2000, the price of gold was at its lowest since 1990, with a troy ounce of gold costing ***** U.S. dollars in that year. Since then, gold prices have been rising and after the economic crisis of 2008, the price of gold rose at higher rates than ever before as the market began to see gold as an increasingly good investment. History has shown, gold is seen as a good investment in times of uncertainty because it can or is thought to function as a good store of value against a declining currency as well as providing protection against inflation. However, unlike other commodities, once gold is mined it does not get used up like other commodities (for example, such as gasoline). So while gold may be a good investment at times, the supply demand argument does not apply to gold. Nonetheless, the demand for gold has been mostly consistent.

India imported more than 3.7 trillion Indian rupees worth of gold in fiscal year 2024. This represented a significant increase in comparison to the previous year. The gold exports from India were valued at 265 million U.S. dollars for the same year. India's place in the global gold industry In 2023, India ranked as the fifth-largest gold importing country worldwide based on value, having amounted to nearly 47 billion U.S. dollars, and accounting for over nine percent of global gold imports. In terms of output, India produced about 780 kilograms of gold in financial year 2023, while the global mine production of gold amounted to 3,100 metric tons in 2022. Accordingly, India's relatively low domestic gold output means that the country needs to import significant quantities to meet demand. The mining industry in India India’s mining industry is essential for the country’s economy, contributing around 2.5 percent to its gross domestic product (GDP) and providing some 700,000 jobs. As of 2023, the number of reporting mines in India was estimated at 1,426, less than half the amount in 2015. Despite its meaningful contribution to the nation’s economy, mining in India is also controversial due to its environmental impact and human rights violations.

Aggregates are a common particle type in the air - irregular particles built up by smaller primaries/monomers. One aim of the work is to present and test methods, experimental and theoretical, to characterize aggregates in the transition regime with regards to properties relevant for toxicological and nano-technological applications. Furthermore, we characterize and compare the properties of the gold-aggregates generated by three generators. The generators tested were a high temperature evaporation furnace (HT) and two spark discharge generators, one commercially available (SDGP) and a custom built (SDGC). The SDGC has been applied in several studies relevant for toxicology.

For the characterization both online instrumentation, such as differential mobility analyzer and aerosol particle mass analyzer coupled in series (DMA-APM) and differential mobility particle sizer (DMPS), and off-line transmission electron microscopy techniques were used. Except from size, number, mass, and morphology, the surface area is a property of special interest. Based on the experimental data, the total surface area content of the aerosols was estimated using four approaches and the results are compared and discussed.

In general, the aggregate properties of the SDGC differ from the commercial, SDGP, with most of its properties lying between the SDGP and the HT. The mass-mobility relationship show that the particles were aggregated and was well described by a power-law function down to the smallest size measured (15 nm), with exponents of 2.18-2.35. Even though similar exponents, the effective density of the aggregates differs between generators. The diameters of the primaries composing the aggregates were ~5-10 nm depending on method and weighting, held together by a bridge corresponding to 62-70 % of the primary particle diameter. The observed variation in effective density could partly be explained by the analyzed primary particle size.

The predicted total surface areas, calculated using the suggested approaches, vary within a factor of 2, and the relative difference in the estimated surface area varied between generators. This variation could partly be explained by the properties here assessed but again, not fully. We suggest that this is either due to a varying primary particle size over the aggregate distribution, or that the morphology of the three types of aggregates generated was different in a fashion the employed methods and theories did not encompass.

Purpose:

Characterization of mass-mobility aerosols of gold aggregates.

The .zip-file contains data in an excel file. The data is divided between two tabs, where the first one lists size of primary particles over several hundred observations and the second one presents the results of the testing of the different generators. For the latter, size of particle works as the independent variable whereas dependent variables are weight, shape factor as well as effective density. The .zip-file also includes a codebook with variable descriptions in English.

The 1,500 meter race has been a permanent fixture for men since the first modern Olympics in 1896, while the women's event has taken place since 1972. The Olympic records for men and women were both set in the 2020 finals, by Norway's Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Kenya's Faith Kipyegon respectively. 2004's gold medalist Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco and 2016's silver medalist Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia set the world records in 1998 (3 minutes, 26 seconds) and 2015 (3 minutes, 50.07 seconds) respectively. In the past three decades, Kenyan and North African athletes have won the most gold medals across both events, however Great Britain has claimed more golds than any other nation, with five in the men's event and one in the women's. The men's event in 2016 saw the slowest finishing time since 1932; this was due to the athletes' reluctance to take the lead early in the race. 2012 Controversy In 2012, the women's 1,500m gold and silver medals were won by two Turkish athletes; Aslı Çakır Alptekin (with a time of 4 minutes, 10.23 seconds) and Gamze Bulut (4 minutes, 10.4 seconds). Immediately after the race, British runner Lisa Dobriskey publicly accused several of her competitors of misconduct (without naming specific athletes), mirroring the sentiments of several other competitors. Subsequent investigations found that six of the top nine finishers had used performance-enhancing drugs, and in 2017 the gold medal was reassigned to Brunei's Miryam Yusuf Jamal, and the silver and bronze medals were reassigned in 2018. Alpetkin was given an eight-year ban, Bulut was banned for four years, while most of the others were banned for two years. This race has been described as "one of the dirtiest in Olympic history". The Flying Finn The 1,500m at the 1924 Olympics in Paris saw Finland's Paavo Nurmi, one of the most successful Olympians of all time, set a new world record of 3 minutes, 53.6 seconds; this feat was made even more impressive when Nurmi took to the field less than one hour later to compete in the 5,000m race, where he took another gold and set yet another world record. Nurmi would go on to win a further three golds in 1924, in addition to his four golds and three silvers from the 1920 and 1928 Olympics, which makes him the most successful Olympian of all time in track and field events.

Throughout modern Olympic history, the 100 meter sprint is generally regarded as the most high profile and popular event of each Summer Games. The men's event has been included in every Olympics, while the women's event has been included since 1928. Athletes from the United States have won both events more than any other nation, with sixteen victories in the men's race and nine in the women's, although Jamaica has emerged as a sprinting superpower since the millennium. Despite having a population of less than three million people, Jamaica has dominated this event since 2008, claiming 15 of the 30 medals on offer. While measurements were not as accurate in earlier years, the men's time has fallen from 12 seconds in 1896, to 9.63 seconds in 2012, while the women's has fallen from 12.2 seconds in 1928 to 10.72 in 2020. Since the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, the gold medal times have remained below ten seconds for men, and eleven seconds for women (although altitude allowed for many new records to be set at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, which is 2.2km above sea level). World's fastest man The only athlete to ever win three Olympic golds in the 100m sprint was Jamaica's Usain Bolt, who also set the current world record of 9.58 seconds in 2009. In 2016, Bolt even became the first athlete to ever win a "triple-triple" in sprinting, by claiming gold in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m in three consecutive Olympics; however his 2008 gold medal in the 4x100m was rescinded in 2017 when a teammate tested positive for banned substances. Despite this, Bolt is widely considered to be the greatest sprinter of all time, with eight gold medals to his name, winning every Olympic final in which he participated. Interestingly, Bolt's right leg is half an inch shorter than his left due to scoliosis, which means that his left foot spends approximately 14 percent more time on the ground when running; biomechanical scientists have failed to conclude whether this has helped or hindered Bolt in his career. Bolt retired in 2017 at the age of thirty. World's fastest woman The fastest woman of all time was Florence Griffith-Joyner, whose world record of 10.49 seconds has stood since 1988. "Flo-Jo" also set an Olympic record of 10.62 seconds in 1988 (often given as 10.52, but with a wind assistance of +1.0 seconds); this record stood for 33 years before Elaine Thompson Herah topped it by 0.01 seconds at the Tokyo 2020 Games. Having also set the 200 meter world record at the 1988 Olympics, Griffith-Joyner's rapid improvement in these years saw a number of doping allegations from other high-profile athletes (including Ben Johnson*); the longevity of these records and the disproportionate number of women's records standing since the 1980s has kept these under suspicion. However, Griffith-Joyner was subjected to extra-rigorous testing at the time and passed all doping tests, attributing her athletic success to her new coach and an increased priority on strength training. Griffith-Joyner died suddenly in 1998, but her records have stood for over two decades thereafter; however, results from other athletes have progressively caught up to Flo-Jo's records, so it remains to be seen how long these records remain in place.
