Twenty four samples of xenoliths and country rocks from the 1961 lava flow of Calbuco volcano have been studied. Fourteen samples have been analyzed for major elements and P, Ni, Ba, Cr, V, Zr, Sc, Y, and Sr. Five of these samples were further analyzed for Sm, Nd, Sr, and Pb isotope ratios. Seventeen samples were analyzed under the microscope and three samples were analyzed by microprobe fo...

Fine grained sedimentary rocks, both clastic and carbonate, are believed to be the most abundant rock type on the Earth‟s surface (Picard, 1971; Blatt, 1982). Fine grained rocks appear to constitute somewhere in the region of 70% (Holmes, 1937) and 80% (Clarke, 1924) of all the sediment ever produced. In sedimentology the size grade scale most commonly used is that which was introduced by Udden...

Brasica napus L. is one of the most important crops in the world, but every year during mechanized harvesting with conventional combines large quantities of the seeds fall to the ground and thus result in a decrease in yield. Therefore, designing and manufacturing a head specific for harvesting this crop is a high priority. In this study, the head of a combine for harvesting fine-grained produc...

In this work, a fine-grained structure with a uniform distribution of TiB2 particles and precipitates was achieved in TiB2 particle-reinforced (PR) Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys by friction stir processing (FSP). The effects of multi-pass FSP on the microstructure, and TiB2 particle distribution, as well as the microstructural evolution in the following T6 treatment, were investigated by X-ray diffraction...

Fine-grained address space layout randomization has recently been proposed as a method of efficiently mitigating ROP attacks. In this paper, we introduce a design and implementation of a framework based on a runtime strategy that undermines the benefits of fine-grained ASLR. Specifically, we abuse a memory disclosure to map an application’s memory layout on-the-fly, dynamically discover gadgets...
