the shah-kuh granitoid has intruded in the triassic–jurassic, pelitic and psammitic low-grade metamorphic rocks of the ne lutblock, in central iran. cordierite porphyroblasts are common in the southern pelitic sediments, but are rare in the northern psammiticrocks, in the contact aureole. deformation fabrics in the contact aureole are well-preserved within the cordierite porphyroblasts. therela...

The Harachiyama Formation comprises Lower Cretaceous volcanic rocks, which are distributed in the eastern margin of Kitakami Mountains northeastern Japan. Whole-rock chemical analysis, U–Pb zircon dating and Hf isotope analysis were performed to constrain formation age magmatic origin was discussed. lava tuff samples from Omoto Tsukue areas supported island-arc rhyolitic rocks (SiO2 content > 7...

The emplacement of the Mesoproterozoic Götemar Pluton into Paleoproterozoic granitoid host rocks of the Transscandinavian Igneous Belt is re-examined by microfabric analysis, including cathodoluminescence microscopy. Field data on the pluton-host rock system are used to strengthen the model. The Götemar Pluton, situated on the Baltic Shield of SE Sweden, is a horizontally zoned tabular structur...

Exotic crystalline blocks within the Outer Carpathian flysch have potential to establish nature of their eroded basement source(s) and thus reconstruct paleogeography Carpathians. Petrological investigations (including mineral analyses) coupled with zircon apatite U-Pb dating were performed on an exotic block Eocene siliciclastic rocks in Rača Zone Magura Nappe Western Carpathians, Poland. This...

Unique finer-grained interstitial textures, occurring as small blocks or irregular shapes of 0.15–10 mm, were found merging in the coarse-grained textures Kazakhstan jadeitite. According to mineral content, texture could be classified into two types: Type I, consisting almost all jadeite crystals, minor omphacite, and little analcime, II, comprising mainly omphacite with crystals. They both sho...

leprosy is one of the oldest diseases of the country and may have been brought over to this country from egypt in ancient times. leprosy is mose frequent in the province of tehran, east azarbaijan, guilan and mazandaran (43 per km2) than other part of the country (13-18 per km2).the incidence of leprosy is recorded at 7.7 per thousand and 35.2 per thousand in the southern and northern part of t...
