A new diapiric model for kimberlite genesis takes into account recent interpretations of peridotiteCO2-H20 melting relationships. A minor thermal perturbation at depth might trigger release of reduced vapors with major components C-H-O. Where these volatile components cross the estimated solidus boundary near 260 km, partial melting occurs, the density inversion causes diapiric uprise along adi...

The Rb-Sr whole-rock isochron, age 1636 ± 66 Ma of Mirgarani granite, is the one oldest granite dated in northwestern part Chhotanagpur Granite Gneiss Complex (CGGC). initial Sr ratio 0.715 0.012 (MSWD = 0.11), showing an S-type affinity. has intruded migmatite complex Dudhi Group and forms formation comparable to granites Bihar Mica Belt around Hazaribagh (1590 30 Ma). present studies have est...

A composition of n ∈ N is an ordered collection of one or more positive integers whose sum is n. The number of summands is called the number of parts of the composition. A palindromic composition of n is a composition of n in which the summands are the same in the given or in reverse order. In this paper we study the generating function for the number of compositions (respectively, palindromic ...

There is a well-established link between world-class gold telluride mineral deposits and alkalic magmatic host rocks, often emplaced post-subduction in arc terranes. Fiji home to two such deposits, provides an ideal location study the relationship (shoshonitic) their geodynamic context, potential roles metal enrichment. A total of 93 new geochemical analyses rocks from across are presented, alo...

conclusions ramadan fasting resulted in weight loss even it was only a temporary effect, as the weight was quickly regained within one month after fasting. the catabolism catabolic state, which is related to protein loss, was not triggered during ramadan fasting. further research is needed to evaluate the effects of weight loss during ramadan fasting in healthy individuals. results by the 28th ...

This article reviews peer-reviewed publications and book chapters on the history, epidemiology, genetics, ecology, pathogenesis, pathology and management of podoconiosis (endemic non-filarial elephantiasis). Podoconiosis is a non-infectious geochemical elephantiasis caused by exposure of bare feet to irritant alkalic clay soils. It is found in at least 10 countries in tropical Africa, Central A...
