in taleghan, olivine basalt-basaltic andesite dykes as part of tertiary mamgmatic activities in central and western alborz zone, intruded into both karaj formation and late eocene-oligocene volcanic rocks. these dykes have similar geochemical characteristic which suggest that they are originated from a common source. on the primitive mantle normalized spider diagram, the dykes are characterized...

Presenting confidence intervals around means is a common method of expressing uncertainty in data. Loftus and Masson (1994) describe confidence intervals for means in within-subjects designs. These confidence intervals are based on the ANOVA mean squared error. Cousineau (2005) presents an alternative to the Loftus and Masson method, but his method produces confidence intervals that are smaller...

Previous studies have shown that the 2.04 Ga Kangâmiut dyke swarm of SW Greenland was injected into an active tectonic environment associated with the formation of the Nagssugtoqidian orogenic belt. Major and trace element modelling of the swarm shows that its chemical evolution was controlled by simple clinopyroxene–plagioclase fractionation. However, such trends — although typical of continen...

The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is an important and common medical emergency. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanism on how paraquat induced the occurrence of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Rats were selected and treated with saline and paraquat for 5 and 21 days, respectively. Lung tissues were selected. Quantitative RT-PCR and western blotting were per...

How much magma needs to be added to a shallow magma chamber to cause rupture, dyke injection, and a potential eruption? Models that yield reliable answers to this question are needed in order to facilitate eruption forecasting. Development of a long-lived shallow magma chamber requires periodic influx of magmas from a parental body at depth. This redistribution process does not necessarily caus...

For over a centmy, Dyke marsh along the Potomac River just south of Alexandria, VA, has been a favorite site for natural history studies. Despite earlier attempts at diking to create agricultural land and dredging for sand and gravel, the remaining marsh represents the last major tidal freshwater wetland on the upper Potomac River, and is now owned and maintained by the National Park Seivice as...

T he suggestions by Davidoff and Batalden for strengthening reports on quality improvement offer useful guidance for those wishing to publish such work. Their rationale for providing this guidance stems from their perception that the failure to provide better information about local improvement efforts slows the spread of successful changes, limits the scrutiny of quality improvement work, and ...

This contribution describes maps of the Copper Cliff Embayment (CCE) and Offset (CCO) dyke. The associated study attempts to unravel mode melt emplacement role pre-impact faults in deformation southern part Sudbury Igneous Complex (SIC). summarizes field observations (maps images) structural measurements. In addition, perspective views 3D Move model CCE CCO dyke are provided. data can be used b...
