Dolomites in Arctic Ocean sediments are widely attributed to erosion and transport of from northern Canada Greenland. Coarse-grained dolomite-rich ice-rafted debris is often linked iceberg transport, but the origin fine-grained dolomite less well constrained. A presumed source Mackenzie River. In this article, we fingerprint minerogenic isotopic (Nd Sr) composition deglacial Holocene (<38 μm) s...

in this study, ultrafine grained 2024 al alloy based b4c particles reinforced composite was produced by mechanical milling and hot extrusion. mechanical milling was used to synthesize the nanostructured al2024 in attrition mill under argon atmosphere up to 50h. a similar process was used to produce al2024-5%wt. b4c composite powder. to produce trimodal composites, milled powders were combined w...

Fine-grained sediments are Quaternary with grain sizes of not more than 2 mm. They start first when meeting water, their stability is related to the initial water volume triggering debris flow, and thus plays an important role in flow hazards early warning. The permeability coefficient inter-controlled factor fine-grained sediment stability. However, there no hyperspectral model for detecting l...

The combined effects of sediment grain size and intra- and interspecific competition on growth rate of Hydrobia ulvae and H. ventrosa were investigated in a 2-month laboratory experiment. Individuals of H. ulvae grew faster than H. ventrosa at all competition intensities. Growth rate did not differ between fine- and coarse-grained sediments in any of the species. This suggests that other factor...

1- Introduction The sediment cores BAG, AZD and AM in the Babolsar, Jouybar and Zaghmarz areas are located at the southern Iranian part of the coastal plain of the Caspian Sea. These areas are contained by major mountain ridge, the Alborz in the south (Central Alborz Structural Zone). The Alborz Mountain represent the main source of terrigenous materials in the South basin of the Caspian Sea. ...

A microstructure consisting of ultrafine grained (UFG) ferrite with average grain size of ~ 0.7 µm and dispersed nano-sized carbides was produced by cold-rolling and tempering of the martensite starting microstructure in a low carbon steel. Subsequently, fine grained dual phase (DP) steel consisting of equiaxed ferrite grains with average size of ~ 5 µm and martensite islands with average size ...

The mineralogy and chemistry of the less than 20μm fraction of marine sediments at Morphou Bay, north-west Cyprus, are presented to characterise fine-grained sediment supplies from basic and ultrabasic rocks of the Troodos Massif within a typological setting. The sediments comprise a mixture of smectite, illite, kaolinite and iron rich chlorite. They also contain amorphous iron oxides/hydroxide...

Kerman and its surrounding towns consist of a flat alluvial plain of fine silt and clay materials. In morphological aspects, these sediments have a very gentle slope with the main infrastructure of the city build on them. Generally, the structure of undisturbed soils is developed over time due to the influence of environmental factors. Geological factors in Kerman fine-grained alluviums have ca...
