Mantle flow, melting, and dehydration of the Iceland mantle plume

Recent studies have shown that the extraction of water from the mantle due to partial melting beneath mid-ocean ridges may increase the viscosity of the residuum by 2–3 orders of magnitude. We examine this rheological effect on mantle flow and melting of a ridge-centered mantle plume using three-dimensional numerical models. Results indicate that the viscosity increase associated with dehydrati...

Mantle Cell Lymphoma

American Society of Hematology in the first 2 years has also been reduced by 50% in the rituximab-containing treatment arm. These preliminary findings in a pilot study echo the results of previously published studies in advanced disease and provide a lead for future comparative trials. Although the majority of patients with limited disease can be cured using a brief course of doxorubicincontain...

Corn syrup mantle plumes.

In the dark, microscopic plastic beads in the 200-gallon tank of corn syrup glow and sparkle when light from a projector shines at them in geophysical fluid dynamicist Christopher Kincaid’s laboratory at the University of Rhode Island. Experiments with this goo could help explain whether columns of magma rising up from near the Earth’s core might explain supervolcanic activity. Scientists have ...

Mantle Cell Lymphoma.

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an uncommon subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma previously considered to have a poor prognosis. Large gains were made in the first decade of the new century when clinical trials established the importance of high-dose therapy and autologous stem-cell rescue and high-dose cytarabine in younger patients and the benefits of maintenance rituximab and bendamustine in older ...
