This workshop brought together specialists from various fields to develop a drilling proposal to fill the “Oligo-Miocene Gap” that exists in our understanding of the functions of Earth’s systems. We propose to establish the first continuous high-deposition record of the Oligo-Miocene through new International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) drilling in the North Atlantic to allow the development...

Oligo-Miocene Bagh-e-Khoshk granitoid stock is intruded into the Eocene volcanic rocks in the southeastern part of the Urumieh-Dukhtar Magmatic assemblage in Iran. The granitoids are mainly consisting of diorite, quartz diorite and granodioritic rock types. They are metaluminous to slightly peraluminous, medium to high K calc-alkaline, with SiO2 ranging from 50.2 to 66 wt.%. The majo...

Oligonucleotide probes that can be used for non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH) analysis are convenient tools for identifying chromosomes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and its relatives. New oligonucleotide probes, Oligo-HvT01, Oligo-pTa71-1, Oligo-s120.1, Oligo-s120.2, Oligo-s120.3, Oligo-275.1, Oligo-275.2, Oligo-k566 and Oligo-713, were designed based on the repetit...

Oligonucleotide probes and the non-denaturing fluorescence in situ hybridization (ND-FISH) technique are widely used to analyze plant chromosomes because they are convenient tools. New oligonucleotide probes, Oligo-Ku, Oligo-3B117.1, Oligo-3B117.2, Oligo-3B117.2.1, Oligo-3B117.3, Oligo-3B117.4, Oligo-3B117.5, Oligo-3B117.6, Oligo-pTa71A-1, Oligo-pTa71A-2, Oligo-pTa71B-1, Oligo-pTa71B-2, Oligo-p...

Structure from Motion (SfM) photogrammetry, on-site hardness and water absorption tests, petrographical porosimetric analyses on targeted samples were carried out representative areas within six different locations of Maltese fortifications affected by salt weathering. The objective was to quantify the limestone loss over last half-millennium attempt identify controlling factors durability. res...

The Neoproterozoic Arabian-Nubian Shield (ANS) in the Eastern Desert of Egypt encloses regional thermal-tectonic history from its development till Oligo-Miocene when Red Sea rift system was initiated. application multi-thermochronometry techniques has proven to be a successful approach revealing influence and extent each tectonic event recreation tectono-thermal studied region through time. The...

pcos (polycystic ovarian syndrome) is associated with insulin resistance, obesity and disorders of lipid metabolism as well as infertility. fenugreek seeds extract is successfully used in lowering blood glucose. metformin has also the same effect but in a different way. the aim of this study was the assessment of fenugreek effects on insulin resistance in women with pcos.this was a prospective ...
