Glaucophane-bearing rocks — indicators of high-pressure metamorphism were earlier found in the Polar Urals Neoproterozoic deposits Nyarovey series, northern part Marunkeu eclogite-amphibolite-gneiss complex, and foot ultramafic massifs Main Ural Fault (MUF) zone. We have discovered western endocontact Kharbey amphibolite-gneiss where they are represented by garnet-glaucophane, garnet-glaucophan...

Passive Q switching of solid-state lasers is usually accomplished with organic dyes or color centers as the saturable absorber. Dyes, however, have poor thermal stability and tend to degrade rapidly. To operate in cw-pumped lasers, dyes require a circulation system. Color centers, such as the color-center LiF crystal, -3 exhibit a fading phenomenon that may limit the period of reliable operatio...

We have investigated the Faraday rotation of in-plane magnetized bismuth-substituted ferrite garnet films grown by liquid phase epitaxy on (100) oriented gadolinium gallium garnet substrates. The Faraday spectra were measured for photon energies between 1.7-2.6 eV. To interprete the spectra, we use a model based on two electric dipole transitions, one tetrahedral and one octahedral. Furthermore...

In 2013, we and coauthors published a paper characterizing rates of recombination within the 2.1-megabase garnet-scalloped (g-sd) region of the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome. To extract the signal of recombination in our high-throughput sequence data, we adopted a nonparametric smoothing procedure, reducing variance at the cost of biasing individual recombination rates. In doing so, we s...

sangan magnetite skarn mine is located 300 km southeast of mashhad, along the eastern part of khaf-drouneh volcanic-plutonic belt. granitoids from three areas within the sangan mine a, c-north and dardvay were studied. within the study area, three intrusive rocks including biotite-hornblende monzonite porphyry, biotite syenite and syenogranite were recognized. based on field cross cutting, abse...
