Twenty four samples of xenoliths and country rocks from the 1961 lava flow of Calbuco volcano have been studied. Fourteen samples have been analyzed for major elements and P, Ni, Ba, Cr, V, Zr, Sc, Y, and Sr. Five of these samples were further analyzed for Sm, Nd, Sr, and Pb isotope ratios. Seventeen samples were analyzed under the microscope and three samples were analyzed by microprobe fo...

Clastic sediments in the Bengal Fan contain a Neogene history of erosion and weathering of the Himalaya. We present data on clay mineralogy, major element, stable and radiogenic isotope abundances from Lower Miocene-Pleistocene sediments from ODP Leg 116. Nd and Sr isotope data show that the Himalayan provenance for the eroded material has varied little since > 17 Ma. However, from 7 to 1 Ma sm...

A combined strontium isotopic (*'^Sr/^*Sr) and paleontológica! metliod is newly applied to a modem lagoon in Egypt's Nile River delta to test its applicability as a paleosalinity proxy. Analyses of 22 surficial samples collected throughout the lagoon include 81 Sr isotopic analyses of mollusks, foraminifera, ostracods, barnacles, bryozoans, serpulid worm tubes, pore water, and gypsum crystals. ...

In the current study, near net-shaped selective laser melting (SLM) technology was employed to build nickel-based superalloy Inconel 625 (IN625) parts with good quality. Taguchi method formulate a systematical analyze, and optimize influencing factors, i.e., power (LP), scan speed (SS) hatch distance (HD) on resulting micro-hardness (MH) surface roughness (SR) of samples. Scanning electron micr...

Ten years elapsed since the discovery by Sanofi of SR141716A the first selective CB(1) cannabinoid receptor antagonist. Shortly after, Sanofi also reported the synthesis of the first selective CB(2) cannabinoid receptor antagonist, SR144528. Since these two milestones in the cannabinoid field, many other compounds, more or less related to the Sanofi compounds, or based on a completely different...

The present studies were conducted to test the hypothesis that activation of peripheral cannabinoid CB(2) receptors would suppress hyperalgesia evoked by intradermal administration of capsaicin, the pungent ingredient in hot chili peppers. The CB(2)-selective cannabinoid agonist (2-iodo-5-nitro-phenyl)-[1-(1-methyl-piperidin-2-ylmethyl)-1H-indol-3-yl]-methanone (AM1241) (33, 330 microg/kg i.p.)...

In nodal-line semimetals, the gaps close along loops in k space, which are not at high-symmetry points. Typical mechanisms for the emergence of nodal lines involve mirror symmetry and the π Berry phase. Here we show via ab initio calculations that fcc calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr) and ytterbium (Yb) have topological nodal lines with the π Berry phase near the Fermi level, when spin-orbit interac...

The current study identifies locality as a near-universal property of phonological input-output mappings that describe processes with local triggers and presents a learning algorithm which uses locality as an inductive principle to generalize such mappings from finite data. Input-output (or UR-SR) mappings like the one in (1) are integral to both the rewrite rules of Sound Pattern of English (C...
