Experimental studies show that K replacement of Na in triclinic plagioclase under hydrothermal conditions results directly in triclinic microcline without forming intermediate monoclinic orthoclase. These experiments bring laboratory and field evidence into agreement for the K-metasomatic origin of granites which contain exclusively microcline as the potash feldspar. Such replacements of a more...

Potassium (K) is one of the essential macronutrients required for plants and its availability to hampered due fixation with other ions. The Releasing Micro-organisms (KRMs) present in soil are capable converting fixed form potassium into an available K uptake. Most commonly potash releasing bacteria rhizosphere belong phylum Firmicutes, Proteobacteria Actinobacteria. These microbes produce orga...

feel that the results we show, particularly in Figure 6, are on much more complex examples and that we have processed much larger number of buildings than reported in the previous literature ([5], [2], and [9]). We feel that our method has advantage over monocular systems such as ([5]) due to its ability to infer 3-D more directly and of having several views to validate the hypotheses. We feel ...

A suite of Permian sylvite samples from Boulby potash mine, Yorkshire, UK, consistently yield traces of hydrogen upon analysis by a cold crush technique for liberating volatiles from entrapped fluid inclusions. In contrast, accompanying halite samples do not yield hydrogen. These data suggest the formation of hydrogen by radiolysis of water due to irradiation from potassium in the sylvite. The ...
