INTRODUCTION Regional metallogeny deals with broad aspects of the genesis of mineral deposits, particularly their distribution in time and space. Here we are concerned with such a study of a 28 700-square-kilometre area in the southwestern corner of British Columbia, including much of the Vancouver and Hope map-areas (NTS 92 G and H) and small parts of the adjoining mapareas to the north (NTS92...

The formation of calcium carbonate mineral scale is a persistent and expensive problem in oil and gas production, water piping systems, power generator, and batch precipitation. The aim of this paper is to further the understanding of scale formation and inhibition by in situ probing of crystal growth by synchrotron radiation wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) at ambient and elevated temperatur...

orpiment, getchellite and stibnite from zarshuran deposit, nw iran, exhibit extensive as-sb substitution. there are four known minerals along as2s3-sb2s3 join, i.e. orpiment (as2s3), wakabayashilite [(as,sb)20s30], getchellite (assbs3) and stibnite (sb2s3). extensive mineralogical studies by scanning electron microscope (sem) and electron probe micro-analyzer (epma) indicate that getchellite fr...

introduction: studies have indicated a global high prevalence of hospital malnutrition on admission and during hospitalization. clinical nutritional risk screen (cnrs) is a way to identify malnutrition and manage nutritional interventions. several traditional and non-computer based tools have been suggested for screening nutritional risk levels. the present study was an attempt to employ a comp...
