Physical Models of Tectonic Resurfacing on Ganymede

Introduction: Grooved terrain on Ganymede generally occurs as individual lanes and polygonal crosscutting swaths of bright terrain. Internally, grooved terrain swaths consist of parallel to sub-parallel ridges and troughs at a variety of scales (Fig. 1); the ridges and troughs show generally similar morphology, size, and orientation. Grooved terrain on Ganymede has been interpreted by most auth...

Comparison of the Tectonic Conditions on Venus with Tectonic Conditions of Early Archean Earth

Quantifying climatic and tectonic controls on hillslopes

Hillslopes in humid regions are typically convex to concave in profi le and have a relatively thick, continuous regolith cover. Conversely, hillslopes in arid regions are typically cliff-dominated and have a relatively thin, discontinuous regolith cover. The difference between these two end-member slope forms is classically attributed to climate, but climate, tectonics, and lithology all play a...

Tectonic discrimination diagrams revisited

[1] The decision boundaries of most tectonic discrimination diagrams are drawn by eye. Discriminant analysis is a statistically more rigorous way to determine the tectonic affinity of oceanic basalts based on their bulk-rock chemistry. This method was applied to a database of 756 oceanic basalts of known tectonic affinity (ocean island, mid-ocean ridge, or island arc). For each of these trainin...

طراحی اتاقک یونش برای دزیمتری به هنگام (on-line) در سیستم های پرتودهی گاما

امروزه استفاده از پرتوهای گاما در زمینه های مختلف صنعت، پزشکی و کشاورزی، کاربرد گسترده ای دارد. از این میان، تابش پرتوهای نسبتاً پرانرژی گامای co60، امکان نابودی باکتری های فسادزا در مواد غذایی، سترون سازی آفات در محصولات کشاورزی و استریلیزه کردن تجهیزات پزشکی و بهداشتی را فراهم می سازد. با توجه به لزوم آگاهی از دز دقیق دریافت شده توسط محصولات، دزیمتری سیستم های پرتودهی گاما از اهمیت بالایی برخو...
