Sodic amphiboles in high pressure and ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks are complex solid solutions in the system Na2O±MgO±Al2O3±SiO2± H2O (NMASH) whose compositions vary with pressure and temperature. We conducted piston-cylinder experiments at 20±30 kbar and 700±800 °C to investigate the stability and compositional variations of sodic amphiboles, based on the reaction glaucophane ˆ 2...

BACKGROUND Several residency program characteristics have been suggested as measures of program quality, but associations between these measures are unknown. We set out to determine associations between these potential measures of program quality. METHODS Survey of internal medicine residency programs that shared an online ambulatory curriculum on hospital type, faculty size, number of traine...

Clinobaryl-ite, ideally BaBe(2)Si(2)O(7) (chemical name barium diberyllium disilicate), is a sorosilicate mineral and dimorphic with baryl-ite. It belongs to a group of compounds characterized by the general formula BaM(2+) (2)Si(2)O(7), with M(2+) = Be, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Co, or Cu, among which the Be-, Fe-, and Cu-members have been found in nature. The crystal structure of clinobaryl-ite has bee...

The kernel technique is a powerful tool for constructing new pattern analysis methods. Kernel engineering provides a general approach to incorporating domain knowledge and dealing with discrete data structures. Kernel methods, especially the support vector machine (SVM), have been extensively applied in the bioinformatics field, achieving great successes. Meanwhile, the development of kernel me...

We demonstrate the Integrated Testing Environment, ITE, an environment for automated and integrated testing at system level. A companion paper [4] describes the problem of systems integrated testing in its conceptual application modelling focus. Here and in [5], the concept’s implementation is exemplified in case of automated integrated testing of a Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) system. ...

objective: the purpose of the present study was to assess the microleakage of composite restorations with and without a cervical amalgam base and to compare the results of dif-ferent composites and bonding agents. materials and methods: one hundred and twenty mesio-occlusal (mo) and disto-occlusal (do) class ii cavities were prepared on sixty extracted permanent premolar teeth. the teeth were r...

Against a backdrop of increasing pressure globally to enhance the quality teacher preparation, and corresponding push ‘measure’ this performatively, we present context-specific framework for identifying initial education (ITE). The derives from project involving all Scottish ITE providers. It adopts vernacular globalisation perspective, drawing on international literature local knowledge create...

the unique character of imam ali bin abi talib (a.s.) has occupied a high ranking position in shi'ite's literature since centuries. apart from the interest of arab shi'ite poets, we also find non-arabs who paid attention to imam ali's attributes and virtues, including mihiar al-dailami the persian who lived in buwaihid era.this study uses content analysis method aimed at stu...
