The Geological Bearings of Recent Deep-Sea Explorations

Scurvy, in Its Bearings on Explorations by Sea

cessful they may have been, but having done all that men could do, they acted under the courage of their opinions, that to delay, where no hope remained of success, would but keep up a constant drain of precious lives. And nearer to us we have evidence in the successful relief sent to an enthusiastic yachtsman, Mr. B. Leigh Smith, who had gone to explore F. Jozef Land, to which no other English...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Recent advances in deep-sea natural products.

Covering: 2009 to 2013.

Supradapedon revisited: geological explorations in the Triassic of southern Tanzania

The upper Triassic deposits of the Selous Basin in south Tanzania have not been prospected for fossil tetrapods since the middle of last century, when Gordon M. Stockley collected two rhynchosaur bone fragments from the so called "Tunduru beds". Here we present the results of a field trip conducted in July 2015 to the vicinities of Tunduru and Msamara, Ruvuma Region, Tanzania, in search for sim...
