The chemistry and isotope chemistry of natural materials is highly indicative of provenance and process throughout geological history. Our studies range in time from the earliest solar system through to processes that are actively taking place today, and in scope from planetary systems to individual molecules. Active areas of research centre on planetary studies, metamorphic and igneous geochem...

To all English-speaking people, Shakespeare's words on any subject are final. We think of Pyramus and Thisbe as comic, rather than romantic, characters, because they were played by the "rude mechanicals" in the Midsummer Night's Dream, and the Ages of Man are, beyond all question, seven, as enumerated by the melancholy Jacques. But, though Shakespeare has fixed this number, seven, so firmly in ...

[1] The processes and feedbacks responsible for the 100-kyr cycle of Late Pleistocene global climate change are still being debated. This paper presents a numerical model that integrates (1) long-wavelength outgoing radiation, (2) the ice-albedo feedback, and (3) lithospheric deflection within the simple conceptual framework of coherence resonance. Coherence resonance is a dynamical process tha...

We present a new method to derive the age of young (<0.7 Gyr) L dwarfs based on their nearinfrared photometry, colours, and distances. The method is based on samples of L dwarfs belonging to the Upper Sco association (5 Myr), the Alpha Per (85 Myr) and Pleiades (125 Myr) clusters, and the Ursa Major (400 Myr) and Hyades (625 Myr) moving groups. We apply our method to a number of interesting obj...

Chant is considered one of the greatest musical achievements of human history. It spread throughout the entire continent of Europe and inspired thousands of composers throughout the centuries. It survived the Dark Ages, a period of history spanning over a thousand years and characterized by invasions, starvation, and mass death. Chant continues to be a source of enlightenment for our modern age...

Construction engineering in coastal areas is facing the challenge of a shortage fresh water for mixing and curing. The quality places an important role setting strength development concrete structures. This research aims to study feasibility using seawater cast curing plain non-structural uses. Samples were tap or then cured up testing ages. Concrete properties studied terms compressive, tensil...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)-based drugs are being used to achieve better glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes, and GLP-1 mimetics such as liraglutide have shown therapeutic potential in preventing diabetes-related microvascular and macrovascular complications as well as comorbidities such as neurodegenerative disorders. In the present study, we investigated the e...
