Monazite-(Ce) and xenotime-(Y) were found in the metacherts (pumpellyite–actinolite-facies conditions: 3 ≤ P ≤ 4 kbars and 300 ≤ T ≤ 350°C) of the Monte Figogna Unit, Sestri–Voltaggio Zone, Liguria, in Italy, as scattered submillimetric grains in pelitic beds and as euhedral crystals in both millimeter-thick quartz veins and open fissures. Their composition is comparable to those of known occur...

U-Pb dating of zircon was undertaken with the Beijing SHRIMP II (sensitive high resolution ion microprobe) on anamphibolite facies granodiorite and an almandine-albite granulite from the Santa Maria Chico Granulitic Complex, southern Brazilian Shield. This work was also done to unravel protolith ages which are often hidden in the array of partly reset data. The obtained metamorphic ages of the ...

a stratigraphic section from the tirgan formation was selected in arkan village nearby bojnourd city in order to study echinoderm fauna systematically. many specimens of echinoderms, especially toxasteridae which is associated with brachiopods were collected and studied systematically in this paper. microscopie slides were also prepared and studied. all slides contain benthic foraminifers and c...

Zellweger syndrome (ZS) is a peroxisomal disorder with a multiple congenital anomalies, characterized by stereotypical facies, profound hypotonia, organ involvement including cerebral, retinal, hepatic, and renal. Herein, a 3-month-old female with ZS is presented who was referred because of increased liver enzymes (subclinical hepatitis), which was detected in work-up of her neck cyst, severe h...

History matching is used to constrain flow simulations and reduce uncertainty in forecasts. In this work, we revisited some fundamental engineering tools for predicting waterflooding behavior to better understand the flaws in our simulation and thus find some models which are more accurate with better matching. The Craig-Geffen-Morse (CGM) analytical method was used to predict recovery performa...

Knowledge of the distribution of permeability and porosity in a reservoir is necessary for the prediction of future oil production, estimation of the location of bypassed oil, and optimization of reservoir management. But while the volume of data that can potentially provide information on reservoir architecture and fluid distributions has increased enormously in the past decade, it is not yet ...

Rb–Sr and U–Pb isotopic data for granulite facies rocks, forming textural relics with respect to eclogite facies metamorphism in the Western Gneiss Region (WGR) of Norway, highlight the importance of textures and mineral reaction kinetics for the interpretation of geochronological data. Studied rocks from Bårdsholmen, southern WGR, were subjected to granulite facies metamorphism at 955 ± 3 Ma (...

More than 200 specimens from different occurrences of the Rogaland igneous complex and surrounding granulite facies metamorphic rocks (S. W. Norway) have been analysed by a direct non-destructive proton induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) technique. The fluorine contents vary from < 25 ppm to 3500 ppm. There is a good correlation between the concentration of fluorine and that of phosphorus for ig...

Anti-epileptic drugs administered during pregnancy can cause structural defects in the growing fetus and result in adverse neurodevelopmental outcome later in life. Fetal valproate syndrome (FVS) results from teratogenic effects of valproic acid exposure in the prenatal period. It is characterised by a distinctive dysmorphic facies and a cluster of minor and major anomalies, as well as developm...

Freeman-Sheldon syndrome is a morphologically well-defined syndrome that results in a dysmorphic status combining bone anomalies and joint contractures with characteristic facies. FSS (FreemanSheldon Syndrome) is also known as craniocarpotarsal dysplasia (or dystrophy), distal arthrogryposis type IIA (DAIIA), whistling face syndrome, and whistling face-windmill vane hand syndrome. The syndrome ...
