Sigmoidal inclusion trails, punctuated fabric development, and interactions between metamorphism and deformation

Fabric and Deformation in Granular Materials

The paper presents results of numerical experiments on a large assembly of smooth circular disks. The assembly was subjected to quasi-static biaxial loading at small to moderate strains by using the Discrete Element Method. Unlike the usual particle-based and coordination number approaches, the fabric was locally measured in relation to the shapes and orientations of voids. Deformation was meas...

the relationship between topic familiarity and guessing lexical meaning and retention among iranian efl learners

the skill of reading in english as a foreign language is an important and challenging one which is affected both by linguistic and extra linguistic factors. since vocabularies are part and parcel of every reading comprehension text, knowing enough vocabulary always facilitates this process. however, guessing strategy as one of the most important strategies has consistently ignored by language l...

رشد دنباله‌ای همزمان با دگرشکلی طی دگرگونی مجاورتی ناحیه‌ای فشار کم – دمای بالای منطقه قنداب، فریمان، شمال شرقی ایران

Detailed microstructural analysis has been conducted in the Ghandab metamorphic Complex, which is one of the most important high temperature – low pressure regional contact metamorphism studied areas in Iran. Textural evidence suggests the sequence of growth of minerals with increasing metamorphic grade and during development of a crenulation foliation. The sequence of mineral growth is conside...

Linking Deformation and Metamorphism: Pressure-Temperature-time-deformation Paths through Quantitative Microstructural Analysis and Pseudosections

cohesion and cohesive devices in a contrastive analysis between ge and esp texts

the present study was an attempt to conduct a contrastive analysis between general english (ge) and english for specific purposes (esp) texts in terms of cohesion and cohesive devices. to this end, thirty texts from different esp and ge textbooks were randomly selected. then they were analyzed manually to find the frequency of cohesive devices. cohesive devices include reference, substitution, ...
