INTRODUCTION Pregnancy and birth giving are two of the most important and common effective factors influencing female sexual function. Sexual dysfunction can affect women's quality of life and marriage. This research tried to determine the relation between labor type and long term sexual function in primipara women of Sabzevar, Iran. METHODS This cross-sectional study took place in Sabzevar h...

Ž . Gabbroic sills intruding dunite in the crust–mantle transition zone MTZ of the Oman ophiolite have textures and compositions very similar to those in modally layered gabbros that form the lower part of the gabbro section in the ophiolite, and different from those in non-layered gabbros near the dike–gabbro transition. The presence of gabbroic sills in the MTZ indicates that modally layered ...

Fluid inclusions and geological relationships indicate that rodingite formation in the Asbestos ophiolite, Québec, occurred in two, or possibly three, separate episodes during thrusting of the ophiolite onto the Laurentian margin, and that it involved three fluids. The first episode of rodingitization, which affected diorite, occurred at temperatures of between 290 and 360 degrees C and pressur...

Gold has been found in the Cyprus-type volcanogenic massive sulfide ore (VMS) deposits of Corchia ophiolite (Parma province, Italy) in the Cantiere Donnini, Speranza and Pozzo mining sites. At Cantiere Donnini and Speranza, the mineralization occurs at the contact between pillow lava and sedimentary rocks. The Pozzo mineralization is hosted by a serpentinite. Concentrations of gold up to 3070 p...

7 The Unst Ophiolite is the best exposed of a chain of early Ordovician ophiolites in the 8 Scottish Caledonides and is widely regarded as having formed in a supra-subduction zone 9 setting within the Iapetus Ocean. Reinterpretation of sheeted dykes suggests that it formed 10 as an oceanic core complex, presumably during subduction roll-back immediately prior to 11 obduction onto the Laurentian...

The irregular and sporadic occurrence of chromite pods in podiform deposits (PCD), especially mountainous terranes with rough topography, necessitates finding innovative methods for reconnaissance prospecting. This research combines several remote sensing to discriminate the highly serpentinized peridotites hosting from other barren ultramafic mafic cumulates. case study is area Sabzevar Ophiol...

O are claimed to be pieces of ocean crust and upper mantle that have been thrust up onto continental crust and are now found in mountains, mainly along continental margins.1,2 An ideal ophiolite suite consists from bottom to top of peridotite, gabbro, sheeted dikes, basalt with pillow lavas and sedimentary rocks. The peridotite is considered to be an upper mantle rock, while the remainder of th...
