The metamorphic sole rocks at the base of mantle peridotites from the Mersin ophiolite consist of amphibolites and metasedimentary lithologies. Mineral parageneses in the metamorphic sole rocks exhibit amphibolite and greenschist facies assemblages. Geothermobarometric studies based on mineral assemblages and chemical compositions of minerals indicate that average metamorphic temperature during...

The structure and distribution of organic sulfur in coals of different rank and different sulfur content were studied by combining mild organic solvent extraction with XPS technology. The XPS results have shown that the distribution of organic sulfur in coal is related to the degree of metamorphism of coal. Namely, thiophenic sulfur content is reduced with decreasing metamorphic degree; sulfoni...

CHI-SQUARED DISTANCE AND METAMORPHIC VIRUS DETECTION by Annie H. Toderici Malware are programs that are designed with a malicious intent. Metamorphic malware change their internal structure each generation while still maintaining their original behavior. As metamorphic malware become more sophisticated, it is important to develop efficient and accurate detection techniques. Current commercial a...

Challenges arise in testing applications that do not have test oracles, i.e., for which it is impossible or impractical to know what the correct output should be for general input. Metamorphic testing, introduced by Chen et al., has been shown to be a simple yet effective technique in testing these types of applications: test inputs are transformed in such a way that it is possible to predict t...

High-grade, migmatitic paragneisses (820°C, 8 kbar peak conditions) of the Valhalla metamorphic core complex experienced the retrograde net transfer reaction (ReNTR): garnet + melt + K-feldspar = sillimanite + biotite + plagioclase during cooling and crystallization of the melt, resulting in an increase in the Fe/(Fe + Mg) of both garnet and biotite at their margins. Diffusion profiles generate...
