Moses Rock dike is a Tertiary diatreme containing serpentinized ultramafic microbreccia (SUM) located on the Colorado Plateau in Utah. Field evidence indicates that SUM was emplaced first followed by breccias derived from the Permian strata exposed in the walls of the diatreme and finally by complex breccias containing basement and mantle-derived rocks. SUM is primarily found dispersed througho...

Article history: Received 23 September 2016 Received in revised form 31 January 2017 Accepted 7 February 2017 Available online 9 February 2017 Volcanic eruptions on theMoon take place in conditions of low gravity and negligible atmospheric pressure, very different from those on Earth. These differences lead to characteristic lunar versions of hawaiian and strombolian explosive activity, and to ...

This article presents and analyzes a technique for reducing the spurious signal content in digital sinusoid synthesis. Spurious-harmonic (spur) reduction is accomplished through dithering both amplitude and phase values prior to word-length reduction. The analytical approach developed for analog quantization is used to produce new bounds on spur performance in these dithered systems. Amplitude ...

two syndromes were studied in 27 patients with target cells and 17 patients with spur cells, all of whom had advanced cirrhosis. The cholesterol and phospholipi(d content of red cell membranes effectively distinguished target cells from spur cells. Target cells alone were rich in lecithin, and both the cholesterol/phospholipid and cholesterol/lecithin mole ratios were greater in spur cells. The...

Almond tree yield is a function of the number of flowers on a tree and the percentage of flowers that set fruit. Almonds are borne on spurs (short proleptic shoots that can have both leaves and flowers). Almond tree spur dynamics research has documented that previous year spur leaf area is a predictive parameter for year-to-year spur survival, spur flowering and to a lesser extent spur fruiting...

Dike swarms are the fossil remains of regions crust that have undergone repeated magma injections. Volcanic earthquake and geodetic measurements are, at least in part, a record active injection fluids (water, gas, or magma) into fractures. Here, we link these two ways observing magmatic systems by noting dike thicknesses magnitudes share similar scaling parameters. In Jurassic Independence swar...
