Surface soils of Sabzevar zone could be geochemically divided into two groups of serpentine (Se) and non-serpentine (Nse) soils. Serpentine soils have higher MgO, FeOt, CaO, S, Ag, Co, Cr, Cu and Ni and lower SiO2, Al2O3, Na2O, K2O, Be, Li, Sc, Ti, U and V than Nse. In other word, Nse samples have high REE content with fractionated LREE/HREE trends in REE diagrams (ΣREE= 31.89- 58.3 ppm; LaN/Yb...

SahebDivan porphyry copper system is located in Alborz-Azarbaijan magmatic zone at northwest Iran. Based on geological surveys, petrographic and geochemical studies, indicated that mineralized stock in this system mainly cosists of granodiorite, diorite and monzonite rocks. These rocks are peraluminous and belong to high-K calc-alkaline and shoshonitic magma series and plotted in the field of I...

Hololeucocratic granitoids of Alvand main granitoids crops out as veins with low thickness. They are scattered in the south and west of Hamadan with latitudes of 34° 30´- 35°00´ N and longitudes of 48°00´- 48° 45´ E. This granitoids, based on petrological studies, are in the ranges of leucotonalite, leucogranodiorite and leucoquartz- monzodiorite. The investigation, based on the grain size, sho...

Background and Aim: Growing clinical evidence suggests that inflammation is the hallmark of the initiation, progression and extent of occlusion by atherosclerosis plaques, but biochemical data are still controversial. The aim of the present cross-sectional investigation was to evaluate the relationship between the severity of coronary artery occlusion (CAO), serum amyloid A (SAA), and interleuk...

The Ghoshchi batholith, ~150 km2 in size is a granitoidic pluton, which intruded the Permian country rocks, in Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, NW Iran. This granitoidic pluton is covered by Oligocene-Miocene sedimentary rocks known as Qom Formation. The Ghoshchi batholith comprises five plutons with following compositions: (a) gabbro-diorite (b) biotite granite, (c) alkali granite, (d) syenites, and (e) ...
