Stratification patterns are formed when a bidisperse mixture of large rough grains and smaller more mobile particles is poured between parallel plates to form a heap. At low flow rates discrete avalanches flow down the free surface and are brought to rest by the propagation of shock waves. Experiments performed in this paper show that the larger particles are segregated to the top of the avalan...

Powders of silver sulfide have been synthesized by chemical bath deposition from aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and sodium sulfide in the presence of sodium citrate or EDTA-H2Na2. Colloid solutions have been prepared by a chemical condensation method from the same aqueous solutions. Synthesized silver sulfide nanopowders have a monoclinic (space group P21/c) acanthite-type structure but th...

Abstract In this paper, we document that glaciofluvial gravel sequences and glacial till deposits are exposed in the Müntschemier Finsterhennen pits (Swiss Plateau west of Bern) record three advances during Birrfeld Glaciation, which corresponds to last cycle. Sedimentological logging shows both expose braided river systems. These sediments overlain by a was deposited Last Glacial Maximum (LGM)...

AC: We conducted some sensitivity tests but did not include the results in this discussion paper for the consideration of limiting the length of the paper. In the revised version, we have added a figure of the sensitivity test results and related discussions to address this comment. Briefly, the fitted parameters could change slightly and the modeled Vd using different log-normal size distribut...

Intravenous administration of syngeneic spleen cells from normal donors was found to markedly shorten the induction time for casein-associated splenic amyloid diposition in the mouse. The effect of intravenous donor cells seemed purely one of acceleration; it did not provoke amyloid deposition either by itself or in combination with independently ineffective heterologous proteins. The accelerat...

Natrix natrix (Linnaeus, 1758) is a common species distributed from Central Europe to Asia. In this range, it forms four subspecies that include several mitochondrial evolutionary lineages. One of the lineages, so-called mtDNA lineage 8, has wide distribution Baltic area Anatolia and Kazakhstan. Anatolia, meets others, however, their occurrence unclear, especially in south-eastern Türkiye where...

Contrasting sub-ice shelf, sub glacial and glacial marine deposition: Implications for ice shelf stability" (2007). Related Publications from ANDRILL Affiliates. Paper 10. Summary Data from cores collected from sites that were beneath the Ross Ice Shelf until 2000 and 2002 indicate that sub-ice shelf lithofacies are distinguishable from sub-glacial and glacial marine facies. Glacial marine sedi...

A young man presented with recurrent episodes of mild jaundice. Apart from conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, other liver function tests were always normal. Clinical suspicion of Dubin-Johnson syndrome was raised. Liver biopsy showed diffuse deposition of coarse granular dark brown pigment in hepatocytes. Dubin-Johnson syndrome is a benign condition, which results from a hereditary defect in biliar...

A number of sedimentary structures, which have previously not been described anywhere in Tasmania, are developed in the Scamander Slates and Quartzites, near Upper Scamander. These structures include mar!{ings made in muds that have been preserved as casts on the soles of graded sandstones and coarse-grained siltstones. It is well known that certain sole markings, such as flute casts, indicate ...
