-Elongated shapes of garnets in high-grade metamorphic rocks have been explained as a result of plastic crystal flow or anisotropic growth. In the case of lowto medium-grade metamorphic rocks, a satisfactory explanation has not been proposed yet for elongated garnets. We have studied elongated garnets grown under lowgrade metamorphic conditions in a shear zone with a composite planar-linear fab...

a total of 40 samples from carbonates and 8 samples from silicate rocks were analyzed from the sangan iron skarn deposit to examine behavior of the oxygen and carbon isotopes. the higher values of ?18o are from metamorphic calcite and dolomite and lower ones are from granitic rocks. although the ?18o and ?13c values of calcite and dolomite in marble yield the highest values in the sangan deposi...

To improve capture efficacy of rock doves (Columba livia) in nuisance situations, we reevaluated the effectiveness of three dosages (60, 120 and 180 mg/kg) of alpha-chloralose (AC). Responses to immobilization using 180 mg/kg AC also were compared in rock doves deprived of food for 16 hr and not food deprived. Mean (+/- SE) time to first effects (33 +/- 2 min) and mean time to capture (94 +/- 5...

New therapeutic options are available and with aggressive, appropriate therapy, physicians can prescribe an asthma management regimen to ameliorate symptoms, control disease and allow normal activity even in children as young as one to two years.

the study area is a part of the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic belt comprising low- to high-graderegional and contact metamorphic rocks that are intruded by various plutonic bodies. garnet crystals areabundant in pelitic schists, amphibole schists, migmatites, hornfelses and aplites. they are mostly almandinerich(xalm>60) pyralspite garnets and show dodecahedron, trapezohedron and mixed (dodecahed...
