This paper applies magnetic fabric analyses to plutons of the East Pacific continental arc. Continental arc magmatism is strongly episodic, with voluminous granitic magma addition occurring during discrete high-flux events (‘flare-ups’). The cause these flare-ups debated, variously invoking tectonic, mantle, or crustal controls. To understand how syn-magmatic strain history changes a flare-up, ...

An account is given of a cloud-chamber investigation of penetrating showers. It is con­ cluded that the cloud-chamber data are consistent with Janossy’s counter data and also with the view that penetrating showers consist of a small number of penetrating ionizing par­ ticles which are mainly mesons. There is no evidence to show that the showers are produced by processes other than those postula...

Modern mangroves are among the most carbon-rich biomes on Earth, but their long-term (≥106 years) impact on the global carbon cycle is unknown. The extent, productivity and preservation of mangroves are controlled by the interplay of tectonics, global sea level and sedimentation, including tide, wave and fluvial processes. The impact of these processes on mangrove-bearing successions in the Oli...

Applicability of phototherapeutic CO-releasing molecules (photoCORMs) is limited because they are activated by harmful and poorly tissue-penetrating near-ultraviolet light. Here, a strategy is demonstrated to activate classical photoCORM Mn2(CO)10 using red light (635 nm). By mixing in solution a triplet photosensitizer (PS) with the photoCORM and shining red light, energy transfer occurs from ...

Completion of a global geological map of Venus has provided documentation of the relative age relationships, spatial distribution, and topographic configuration of the major geologic units and permitted us to address several important problems concerning the volcanic history of Venus. We use these data to: 1) assess the stratigraphic position of volcanic units and landforms, 2) determine their ...

Abstract The function of students’ email requests to faculty is both transactional and interactional. Students’ emails are not only sent with the aim receiving some form service but they also need adhere interactional language in order establish maintain social relationships. Therefore, how address their lecturers much directness appropriate performed through this medium, most difficult choices...

This paper proposes an interactive rendering method of cloth fabrics under environment lighting. The outgoing radiance from cloth fabrics in the microcylinder model is calculated by integrating the product of the distant environment lighting, the visibility function, the weighting function that includes shadowing/masking effects of threads, and the light scattering function of threads. The radi...

Abstract The initiation and evolution of compressional intracontinental orogens are favored by rheologically weak lithosphere underneath; however, how this weakened responds to the regional stress regime remains vigorously debated. Tien Shan mountains in central Asia provide best example illustrate deep deformational responses orogenesis. We present new constraints on nature seismic anisotropy ...
