We explore the potential effects of magmatic assimilation on mineral growth and mineral zoning in an alkali olivine basaltic magma using both equilibrium thermodynamics and kinetics. The equilibrium-model calculations simulate fractional crystallization alone (closed system) and coupled assimilation fractional crystallization (AFC) (open system); the models predict the assemblages ofmagmatig mi...

Transport modelling and in particular transport assignment is a wellknown bottleneck in computation cost and time for urban system models. The use of Transport Analysis Zones (TAZ) implies a trade-off between computation time and accuracy: practical computational constraints can lead to concessions to zone size with severe repercussions for the quality of the transport representation in urban m...

goals prioritization, mental health and irrational beliefs are concept much discussed nowadays. this study aims to compare the goals prioritization of the students and its relation to mental health and irrational beliefs. this study was designed and completed descriptively. the sample included 216 students of allamehtabatabai university. students completed the goals and aspirations, mental heal...

China’s new urbanization development strategy needs to be supported by rational urban systems. Here, a comprehensive diagnostic index system that uses GIS technology and a Chinese urban scale structure rationality diagnostic model, functional structure rationality diagnostic model, spatial structure rationality diagnostic model and Chinese urban development rationality diagnostic model is used ...

In the last decade, dozens of local governments have enacted zoning ordinances designed to limit the concentration of payday lenders and other alternative financial services providers (AFSPs), such as check-cashing businesses and auto title loan shops, in their communities. The main impetus for these ordinances is to shield economically vulnerable residents from the industry's lending practices...

Artificial irrigation is critical for improving soil moisture conditions and ensuring crop growth. Its irrational deployment can lead to ecological environmental issues. Mapping understanding the changes in irrigated areas are vital effectively managing limited water. However, most researchers map with a single data resource, which makes it hard detect signals complex situations. The case study...

This paper concerns the problem of matching incompatible zonal geographies, for example in the context of comparing census outputs over time. The automated zoning procedure (AZP) proposed by Openshaw (1977) is reviewed and extended to permit its application to the intersection of two zonal systems. A population stress statistic is proposed which may be used in the extended AZP algorithm in orde...

Irrational beliefs are messages about life we send to ourselves that keep us from growing emotionally. They are unfounded attitudes, opinions, and values we hold to that are out of synchrony with the way the world really is. The aim of this study is investigation the relationship between irrational beliefs with anxiety in adolescent’s girls. This study is descriptive and correlational. The stud...

But there must be some further rules shaping the dynamics of prescribing than these heuristics, or alternately some of those listed must be capable of more than 1 application. Consider the dynamics of prescribing within the pediatric mental health field. Over the course of 25 years, the prescribing of stimulants to children has grown exponentially – primarily in North America. In this case, cli...

Timothy Besley’s Principled Agents? carefully surveys the modern social science literature on political agency problems and tries to chart a sensible middle course between the naive assumption that politicians maximize the public welfare and the pessimism of Virginia-style public choice. However, the literature that Besley showcases is seriously flawed. By building on the empirically discredite...
