Needle-shaped rutile inclusions occur in garnet within the quartz-eclogite at Mt. Gongen Sanbagawa belt, central Shikoku. They are approximately 5–25 µm along long axis and typically oriented three directions, each intersecting 120°. This indicates that needle-shaped is a lamella exsolved from garnet. Garnet with needle-rutile restricted to quartz-poor domain of quartz eclogite sample, which co...

Inorganic solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) are nonflammable alternatives to the commercial liquid-phase electrolytes. This enables use of lithium (Li) metal as an anode, providing high-energy density and improved stability by avoiding unwanted chemical reactions. Among different types SSEs, garnet-type witness a rapid development considered one top candidates pair with Li due their high ionic co...

We performed melting experiments of hydrous pyrolite at pressures from 3 to 8 GPa and temperatures from 1,100°C to 1,800°C to identify the origin of chemical variation in cratonic garnet peridotites with high contents of magnesian orthopyroxene. In hydrous conditions, the stability field of residual orthopyroxene expands relative to olivine above solidus, and the harzburgitic residue contains l...

In this paper we present Garnet, a spatial hypertext interface to a digital library. Spatial hypertext systems support information structuring – the organisation of documents performed by a user to complement their information seeking. In the past, spatial hypertext systems have suffered from poor connectivity with information sources such as digital libraries. Conversely, digital libraries hav...

We present an architectural framework, Garnet, which provides a data stream centric abstraction to encourage the manipulation and exploitation of data generated in sensor networks. By providing middleware services to allow mutually-unaware applications to manipulate sensor behaviour, a scalable, extensible platform is provided. We focus on sensor networks with transmit and receive capabilities ...

Thermal noise from test masses, arising both from internal noise in the test mass material and from losses in the suspension wires and their attachments, is a significant factor limiting sensitivity of interferometric gravity-wave detectors. To investigate ways of reducing these noise sources we are using magnetic levitation in place of suspension wires. A search for high-Q crystals with magnet...

Large earthquakes occur in rocks undergoing high-pressure/low-temperature metamorphism during subduction. Rhythmic major-element zoning in garnet is a common product of such metamorphism, and one that must record a fundamental subduction process. We argue that rhythmic major-element zoning in subduction zone garnets from the Franciscan Complex, California, developed in response to growth-dissol...
