an amalgamation of ancient mythological and linguistic features from ghabrestan tepe, this article is disposed to introduce some of the oldest findings especially about the then prevailing myths. it can possibly be said that the oldest motifs carved by men, on bones, stones or on cave walls have been the depictions of myths related to homo sapiens; however, even after the lapse of thousands of ...

We examine the geology of Ishtar Terra, Venus, as viewed in high-resolution Magellan synthetic-aperture radar imagery and altimetry, in order to interpret regional surface strain patterns. We combine constraints imposed by the surface strain with gravity modeling ofMagellan degree-75 high-resolution gravity data. Long-wavelength (>2500 km) and short-wavelength (500–2500 km) features show differ...

Geochemical data about Venus' surface materials are quite limited and of poor precision. The Venera and VEGA lander missions (sources of the available data) were engineering and scientific triumphs, but their chemical analyses of the Venus surface do not permit detailed confident interpretation, such as are routine for terrestrial analyses and MER APXS rover analyses from Mars. In particular, t...

High resolution images obtained with the Arecibo radar system at a wavelength of 12.6 centimeters reveal numerous parallel 10to 20-kilometer-wide bands of high radar backscatter situated on and oriented parallel to the major mountain ranges of the Ishtar Terra region of Venus. Geometric and morphological characteristics suggest that the bands represent Earth-like tectonic deformational features...

Abstract The Irradiation System for High-Temperature Reactors (ISHTAR) thermostatic rig will be used to irradiate advanced core material samples in conditions corresponding those prevailing the high-temperature reactors (HTRs): these include a stable temperature extending up 1000°C helium atmosphere. Computational and experimental studies concerning design have been conducted, proving possibili...
