Introduction: Impact-generated hydrothermal systems may have caused widespread alteration of the crust on early Mars. We previously explored the range of alteration products using several Martian meteorites as crustal proxies: LEW88516 [1-3], Dhofar 378, Chassigny [4], and Nakhla [5]. Overall, the dominating alteration phases are oxides, hydroxides, clay minerals, and other hydrous silicates. O...

International Symposium on Digital Industrial Radiology and Computed Tomography Ghent, Belgium June 22-25, 2015 SKS deconvolution method corrects scatter per projection by convoluting the measured signal with the pencil beam kernels using equation (1), simulated by varying thickness of the slabs of same material as the object in the CIVA [2] RT module developed for NDT simulations by CEA. The w...

The CIVA platform dedicated to the modeling of NDT techniques is now extensively used in different industrial sectors. This simulation tool is developed by CEA LIST and benefits also from the contribution of numerous partners from industry and universities. The ability to capitalize in a unique platform such developments allows enhancing regularly the fields of applications of CIVA. For instanc...

1. The uptake of dilute neutral hypochlorite by epithelial mucopolysaccharides has been compared with that of proteins, polysaccharides, amino acids and sugars. The uptake has been shown to be related to the protein content of the mucopolysaccharides rather than their polysaccharide content. 2. The destruction of the components of epithelial mucopolysaccharides, certain sugars and polysaccharid...

the area is located 20 km northwest of kashmar and about 4 km of kalateh taimour in khorasan razavi province. the study area is part of tertiary volcanic-plutonic belt north of daruneh fault and its situation in tectonic inliers between two important active faults, doruneh and taknar. volcanic rocks are mainly intermediate to acid pyroclastic type. they formed during early tertiary. the volcani...

The recent ability to inactivate specific genes in mice has significantly accelerated our understanding of molecular, cellular, and even behavioral aspects of normal and disease processes. However, this ability has also demonstrated the extreme complexity of genetic determination in mammals, in particular, that genes in the same family or pathway can be functionally redundant and that a given g...

Chromatic induction is observed whenever the perceived colour of a target surface shifts towards the hue of a neighbouring surface. Some vivid manifestations may be seen in a white background where thin coloured lines have been drawn (assimilation) or when lines of different colours are collinear (neon effect) or adjacent (watercolour) to each other. This study examines a particular colour indu...
