chloritoid is crystallised with chlorite, white mica and garnet in chlorite zone metapelites ofthe regional metamorphic rocks of the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic belt in southern iran. chemistry ofcoexisting minerals is studied using microprobe analysis. application of the chlorite-chloritoidgeothermometry gives temperatures of 515°c and 557°c. the chlorite-garnet fe-mg exchangegeothermometer in...

given the strategic remarkable rank of pistachio in non-oil exports, inputs’ management in its production is so important. as the scarcest input in agricultural sector, water is considered to be among the most important inputs of pistachio production.water inadequate supply and limate conditions increase water demand in pistachio growing areas. it is necessary to determine the real value or pri...

background & aim: since traditional knowledge is base of producing new herbals and other natural products, and old people of ancient cities know about characteristics of such herbals, therefore, death of such people will gradually causes demolishing of their knowledge about herbals. therefore, it seems it is necessary to register and save such information. the goal of this research is to st...

ABSTRACT: Selecting transport equipment is one of the most important and basic parts in the planning of every project, particularly mining projects due to holding a high charge of the total project's cost. So it can affect the fact that the project is economical or not. Criteria and a variety of parameters have an influence on the selection of equipment, while these criteria often are in confli...

in order to investigate deformation history preserved in the calcite twins in the hinterland of zagros, several samples have been collected from calcschists of the paleozoic sargaz complex in the faryab area, se iran. these samples are related to f1-recumbent folding and thrust shear zones. the twin width is about 1 and 3.8 µm (thin-twin regime); the twin strain amounts 5 and 10%; twin intensit...

marbles containing high-pressure mineral assemblage was found from the sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic belt in the nahavand area in western iran.  the high-pressure marbles occur as small bodies or lenses within pelitic schist layers and show compositional banding of carbonate- and silicate- rich bands.  textural analysis revealed two metamorphic stages.  the early stage is testified by relicts of ...

bouin- miandasht granitoid pluton (bmgp), which outcropped to the north of bouin-miandasht- aligoudarz road, was emplaced into low to medium grade of triassic to early jurassic metapelitic rocks of sanandaj-sirjan structural zone. in this study we do provide the first investigations of bmgp by means of anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (ams). most km values for the main felsic compositions ...
