Introduction: The non-mare pristine samples are divided into two major suites, the ferroan anorthosites (FAN) and the Mg-suite [1]. FAN is typically characterized by high values of plagiophile interelement ratios, for example, the calcium content of plagioclase, and very high plagioclase content (though more mafic members exist). FAN is well separated from the Mgsuite on a plot of Mg-number vs....

The Oligocene Balleny Group of Chalky Island, southwestern Fiordland, comprises a typical continental margin sequence 900 m in thickness. Thin nearshore traction deposited sediments at the base are overlain by submarine canyon and fan lithofacies that were deposited by the full range of subaqueous mass-transport processes. A steep-walled channel within Balleny Group is interpreted as a fossil p...

[1] Alluvial fan deltas are built by aggrading and avulsing river channels. A numerical model of flow and sediment transport in channels is combined with a condition for channel avulsion to describe evolution of the fan surface. The model combines elements of two recent approaches: (1) diffusional models of depositional basin filling, which describe the evolution of overall morphology, and (2) ...

Fused aromatic networks (FANs) are a new generation of porous organic (PONs), which thermodynamic products. FANs also kinetic products with low crystallinity. Nevertheless, their high physicochemical stability suggests many potential applications. This work reports three structures fully fused units vertically (V), horizontally (H), and three-dimensionally (3D) linked to the growth direction, f...

We provide some new local obstructions to approximating tropical curves in smooth tropical surfaces. These obstructions are based on the relation between tropical and complex intersection theories which is also established here. We give two applications of the methods developed in this paper. First we classify all locally irreducible approximable 3-valent fan tropical curves in a non-singular f...

Achieving a uniform fan-out energy distribution is critical to the successful applications of substrate guided-wave optical interconnects. Using Dupont photopolymer film HRF-600X00120, we investigated the optimum recording beam intensity for obtaining a large dynamic region of diffraction efficiency relative to exposure dosage. Based on the experimental diffraction efficiency curve, 1-to-5 and ...
