Biotite samples from different units of Boroujerd Granitoid Complex (BGC) of the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, western Iran, have beenanalyzed by electron microprobe for major elements. Biotite analyses from three units of quartzdiorite, granodiorite and monzograniteof BGC have their own distinct non-overlapping compositional fields in the annite – siderophyllite – phlogopite – eastonitequadrilateral (...

Abstract Comprehensive zircon thermometry that takes into account saturation temperatures, Ti-in-zircon measurements, and morphologies microstructures can provide key information on the thermal evolution of a granite batholith. The Variscan South Bohemian batholith (Germany, Austria, Czech Republic) comprises series granitoid units intruded between ca. 330 300 Ma. We categorize granitic rocks a...

Background: Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a relatively common autosomal dominant condition. Among the complications of the disease, such as neurological disorders, hypertension and skeletal deformities, malignancy is the most serious one and is the main cause of early death in these patients. Objective: Review of cases of NF-1 associated with malignancies. Patents and Methods: In a retrospective...

introduction the investigated area is situated in the south west of the khorasan razavi province along the north west of the lut block. different types of metal ore bodies along with non-metal deposits have already been documented in the lut block (karimpour et al., 2008). most of the study area is covered with granitoid rocks. metamorphic rocks with unknown age are present in the north of the ...

During the last decades, rapid progress of remote sensing data processing for their utilization in detecting locations possible sites linked to hydrothermal alteration and ores has gained increasing attention due significant time cost savings. In this study, we present findings a joint laboratory examination mineralization zone induced by granitoid intrusion onshore islet “Koutala”, Lavreotiki,...

The rise of the Isthmus of Panama, linked to a number of climatic, paleoceanographic, and biological events, has been studied mostly from indirect, often distal, geochemical and biotic evidence. We have upgraded existing geologic mapping in central Panama with more than 2000 fi eld stations, over 40 petrographic analyses, and more than 30 new geochronological and thermo chrono logical analy ses...

Zircon is often used to study granites (sensu lato) and continental crust because it very resistant can be analyzed for various isotope systems that provide time source information about their parental melts. Granites with different petrological histories have distinct bulk-rock silicon compositions but unclear if these differences are also detectable in zircon of superimposed fractionation eff...

defects in genes for survival motor neuron (smn) and neural apoptosis inhibitory proteins (naip) have been reported associated with spinal muscular atrophy (sma). among the genetic defects, deletions in exons 7 and 8 of smn and exons 4 and 5 of naip were found to be most significant. in the current study, 35 unrelated sma patients including 9 patients with type i, 6 with type ii, 20 with type i...
