Introduction: Zircon is a highly refractory and weathering-resistant mineral that has proven useful as an indicator of shock metamorphism in the study of impact structures and formations (e.g., [1-6]). Zircon has advantages compared to quartz or other shockmetamorphosed rock-forming minerals that have been widely used as impact indicators, but are far less refractory than zircon. The purpose of...

The trace element compositions of igneous augite preserved in metamorphosed komatiite samples from the lower Komati Formation, Barberton Mountainland, South Africa (3.49 Ga), were analyzed in order to estimate the pre-metamorphic bulk composition of the samples. The chemical effects of metamorphism are evaluated by calculating the trace element (TE) composition of a hypothetical augite in equil...

results under the above chromatography condition, biuret compound (peqb) and the internal standard were detected at 4.5 and 13.5 minutes, respectively. limit of quantitation of the peqb was 0.1 µg/ml. accuracy of the method over the concentration range of 0.1-100 µg/ml was between 88-109%. inter- and intraday precisions were 4-19% and 6-8%, respectively. a good relationship in the form of a pow...

Integrated pseudosection modeling and monazite petrochronology of paragneiss from the Kanchenjunga region of northeastern Nepal reveal the presence of cryptic tectonometamorphic discontinuities within the Himalayan metamorphic core. These new data outline a series of thrust-sense structures that juxtapose rocks that generally record a protracted history of early Eocene to latest Oligocene–early...

background: this study was aimed to investigate the association of consuming white rice and potato, as well as the bread type with anthropometric measures and blood pressure (bp) in a national sample of iranian children and adolescents. methods: this nationwide study was conducted in 2011-2012 among 14,880 students, aged 6-18 years, selected by multistage cluster sampling from 30 provinces of i...

conclusions examination of the fasting lipid profile has clinical importance in predicting the efficacy of peg-ifn-α-2b plus rbv combination therapy for patients with hcv g1b even after the discovery of the il28 genotype as a potent predictive factor. objectives to re-examine the significance of lipoprotein profiles on virological response to peg-ifn plus rbv combination therapy in patients wit...
