The influence of water concentration on the crystallization temperature of amphibole in a melt was analyzed theoretically using the model of an ideal melt. A general-type equation has been derived that can explain the presence of the isobaric temperature maximum at the amphibole stability curve by invoking the twofold influence of water on the equilibrium between amphibole and the melt: in acco...

In this paper we investigate a new notion of bases in Hilbert spaces and similar to fusion frame theory we introduce fusion bases theory in Hilbert spaces. We also introduce a new denition of fusion dual sequence associated with a fusion basis and show that the operators of a fusion dual sequence are continuous projections. Next we dene the fusion biorthogonal sequence, Bessel fusion basis, Hil...

(1) Upper sorted suevite (794.63 – 807.75 m) and (2) Lower sorted suevite (807.75 – 823.25 m): The dominating component in both units of the sorted suevite are melt particles of shock stage IV. Two different textural types of melt particles were observed: (1) brownish to pale green silicate melt particles with flow texture, vesicles and schlieren; and (2) dark aphanitic particles with inclusion...

Melt-free and basaltic (complex alumino-silicate) melt-bearing specimens of fine-grained polycrystalline olivine (Mg0.9Fe0.1)2SiO4, tested at igh temperature and low frequency in torsional forced oscillation and microcreep, display markedly different behavior. For the melt-bearing aterials, superimposed upon the high-temperature background is a dissipation peak whose height varies systematicall...

Ectopic lymphoid tissues (ELT) can be found in multiple sclerosis (MS) and other organ-specific inflammatory conditions. Whether ELT in the meninges of central nervous system (CNS) autoimmune disease exhibit local germinal center (GC) activity remains unknown. In an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis model of CNS autoimmunity, we found activation-induced cytidine deaminase, a GC-defining...

We performed a series of experiments at high pressures and temperatures to determine the partitioning of a wide range of trace elements between ilmenite, armalcolite and anhydrous lunar silicate melt, to constrain geochemical models of the evolution of the interior of the Moon. Experiments yielding partition coefficients were performed in graphite-lined platinum capsules at pressures and temper...

To determine the role of surface tension-driven melt migration in planetary bodies, we investigated the effect of static annealing on the evolution of melt-rich bands in partially molten samples. In shear deformation experiments, deviatoric stress causes melt to segregate; when the stress is removed, surface tension causes the melt to relax back to a homogeneous distribution. Samples composed o...

This work investigates the crystallization kinetics and thermal stability of a new melt processable semicrystalline polyimide (Tg= ca. 210°C, Tm= ca. 395°C) based on 1,3bis(4-aminophenoxy) benzene (TPER) and 3,3’,4,4’-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA), and endcapped with phthalic anhydride (PA). Earlier studies have demonstrated that this polymer is a strong candidate as a structural a...

Accelerated ice flow near the equilibrium line of west-central Greenland Ice Sheet (GIS) has been attributed to an increase in infiltrated surface melt water as a response to climate warming. The assessment of surface melting events must be more than the detection of melt onset or extent. Retrieval of surface melt magnitude is necessary to improve understanding of ice sheet flow and surface mel...

Fusion protein technology represents the strategy to achieve rapid, efficient, and cost-effective proteinexpression. Epsilon and Beta toxins are the most potent Clostridial toxins and cause disease in animals.This study describes in silico fusion of Clostridium perfringens types D and B epsilon and beta toxin genesthat was used for cloning in E.coli. The etx and cpb genes were...
