Chemical Characterisation of Natural Ilmenite: A Possible New Reference Material

Seven ilmenite (FeTiO3) megacrysts derived from alnöite pipes (Island of Malaita, Solomon Islands) were characterised for their major and trace element compositions in relation to their potential use as secondary reference materials for in situ microanalysis. Abundances of thirteen trace elements obtained by laser ablation ICP-MS analyses (using the NIST SRM 610 glass reference material) were c...

On Media A workshop report from US Institute for Peace examined Arab media, August, 05 (http://usip.org/virtual diplomacy/publications/reports/18.html), with special focus on attitudes to US and to the West. The relevant Arab governments play a double role since mostly, they control the media, where they appease the ideological positions of their own threatening insurgencies while focusing publ...

Shock Compression of Ilmenite

Singleand reflected-shock compression measurements on single-crystal i menite (FeTiO3) to pressures of 635 and 930 kbar, respectively, demonstrate anomalously large compressions above 4320 kbar and imply the onset of one or more major phase changes at this pressure level which continue to occur to at least 4600 kbar. The phase change onset pressure is considerably above the calculated upper bou...

es some significant research into brain functioning. The mental habits we are learning as we use the Internet are altering our capabilities to read, and for thinking. New habits create new brain connections , while older established ones wither or fail to form. This brain plasticity is a great quality, but it also favours "primitive" mental functions, such as quick decision making, over intelle...
