Interpretations of Geophysical and Eotvos Anomalies

Does partial melting explain geophysical anomalies?

The existence of partial melt is frequently invoked to explain geophysical anomalies such as low seismic wave velocity and high electrical conductivity. I review various experimental and theoretical studies to evaluate the plausibility of this explanation. In order for a partial melt model to work, not only the presence of melt, but also the presence of appropriate amount of melt needs to be ex...

Reanalysis of the Eotvos Experiment

If 5 V(r) actually describes the effects of a new force, and is not just a parametrization of some other systematic effects, then its presence would be expected to manifest itself elsewhere as well. Recently, we have Here VN(r) is the usual Newtonian potential energy for two masses m ~ 2 separated by a distance r, and 6 is the Newtonian constant of gravitation for r The geophysical data can the...

Etiology and Evaluation of Sperm Chromatin Anomalies

Evidence suggests that human sperm chromatin anomalies adversely affect reproductive outcomes and infertile men possess substantially amount of sperm with chromatin anomalies than fertile men. Routine semen analysis evaluates parameters such as sperm motility and morphology, but does not examine the nuclear DNA integrity of spermatozoa. It has been suggested that altered nuclear chromatin struc...
