Serpentinized peridotite and associated listvenites of Neoproterozoic age outcrop in the Bir Umq area western Saudi Arabia. The mantle section ophiolite is extensively serpentinized. Serpentinite host samples are low Al2O3 (0.48–0.75 wt%) CaO (0.28–1.24 have high Mg# (0.90–0.92), indicating a strongly depleted protolith, typically with supra-subduction zone environments more specifically fore-a...

Geochemical, isotopic and age constraints support a comagmatic origin for Ghuweir Mafics and the Feinan A-type granites. The two rocks types, named collectively in this paper as the Feinan Ghuweir Magmatic Suite (FGMS), formed between 556 and 572Ma ago according to Rb–Sr whole-rock dating. FGMS has low Sr initial ratios, which preclude a significant contribution of much older crust in the magma...

exposure buildup factors have been calculated by monte carlo method for point isotropic gamma ray sources, penetrating a two-layer spherical shield of water surrounded by lead, and the effect of bremsstrahlung radiation on buildup factors has, in particular, been investigated, the results of which are in good agreement with previous works. the buildup factors were then calculated for various co...

Metallic eye shields have been widely used for near-eye treatments to protect critical regions, but have never been incorporated into treatment plans because of the unwanted appearance of the metal artifacts on CT images. The purpose of this work was to test the use of an acrylic dummy eye shield as a substitute for a metallic eye shield during CT scans. An acrylic dummy shield of the same size...

Gold in the Ariab district (Red Sea Hills, Sudan) is mined gossans developed over volcanogenic massive sulphide (VHMS) deposits formed context of a Tonian ensimatic arc Haiya terrane, Neoproterozoic Arabo-Nubian Shield. All primary gold occurrences belt, whatever their style (VHMS-, quartz lode- or shear-zone-hosted), appear, however, to have been syn-to late-kinematic, i.e., final Pan-African ...

Electromagnetic shield made up of single conductor layer of chosen thickness and conducting material can be designed to achieve required shielding performance . This single conductor layer electromagnetic shield would be bulky and occupy more volume when the size of the electronic circuit is shrinking with the advent of microelectronic technologies. In order to optimize the thickness of the ele...
