Yet extant scholarship has failed to address the empirical parameters for what constitutes ‘transparency’ and what does not.

Identification of active constraints in constrained optimization is of interest from both practical and theoretical viewpoints, as it holds the promise of reducing an inequality-constrained problem to an equality-constrained problem, in a neighborhood of a solution. We study this issue in the more general setting of composite nonsmooth minimization, in which the objective is a composition of a ...

Introduction: It has been well documented that all of the CI1 chondrites have undergone extensive aqueous alteration, [1] which has modified the texture and composition of the minerals present. In this study, we look at the effect of aqueous alteration on Fe-Ni sulphides in four different CI1 chondrites, with a view to identifying variable degrees of aqueous alteration within CI1 chondrites. Me...
