The Salobo iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposit host an important Cu-mineralization of the Carajás Mineral Province. ore is characterized by association (bornite-chalcocite-digenite) hosted magnetite and biotite-garnet schists. These rocks record distinct stages superimposed hydrothermal alteration dynamic metamorphism. Three different occurrences constitute bodies: a pristine to inclusion-poo...

purpose: given that weight and body mass index (bmi) are considered as modifiable factors in osteoporosis, the present study aimed to examine the relationship of weight and bmi with bone mineral density (bmd) and bone mineral content (bmc) at the femur and lumbar vertebrae in perimenopausal women. methods: in this descriptive-correlational study, we measured the bone density of the femur and lu...

our civilization is based on metals, among other life supports. the existing ore deposits are becoming rapidly depleted by almost exponentially increasing demand and production and major new ore discoveries are needed. mineral exploration is supported by modern tools and scientific ideas, but geological characteristics of orebodies and their rock associations have still to be visualized.the tim...

Crystalline rocks record critical information about the magnitude and rates of geodynamic processes. Important factors such as: how deep; how hot; how fast; and for how long are all in some way encoded in the mineral assemblages, mineral compositions and microstructures. Our ability to estimate metamorphic pressure–temperature (P-T) conditions has improved markedly with the increased availabili...

Partition coefficients (DM) for rare earth elements (REE) (La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Dy, Er and Yb) and other trace elements (Ba, Rb, B, Sr, Ti, Y and Nb) between zircon and melt have been calculated from secondary ion mass spectrometric (SIMS) analyses of zircon/melt inclusion pairs. The melt inclusion-mineral (MIM) technique shows that DREE increase in compatibility with increasing atomic number, simil...

usd7 is one of the steel products of isfahan steel company. it is cast in continuous casting moulds and rolled up to a rod of 5 mm diameter. finally, it is wire drawn up to 3 mm and used as welding electrodes. this steel contains 0.05 to 0.09 wt. % carbon. the acceptable limit of the aluminium in this class of steel is less than 0.003 wt%. therefore, it is categorized as rimmed steel. during fo...
