Studies of the element contents and isotopic characteristics sulfide minerals from seafloor hydrothermal deposits are a significant method investigating seawater-fluid mixing fluid-rock and/or sediment interactions in systems. The ores Noho field (NHF) Okinawa Trough (OT) consist pyrrhotite, isocubanite, sphalerite, galena, amorphous silica. Rh, Ag, Sb, Tl mostly increase galena as fluid temper...

Trace element compositions of sphalerite and chalcopyrite have been investigated for four arc-hosted Cretaceous VMS deposits (María Teresa, Perubar, Palma in Peru, Cerro de Maimón the Dominican Republic) using laser ablation inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry. In sphalerite, Fe, Mn, Cd, Hg, Ag, Sb, Se, In, Ge, Ga are lattice-bound, whereas Sn, Tl, Bi, Pb occur at least partly as miner...

The current treatment of haemophilia with coagulation protein replacement therapy is both effective and safe. Nevertheless, this therapy requires frequent, repeated intravenous infusions and approximately 25% of treated haemophilia A patients develop antibodies to the replacement protein. Furthermore, the cost and limited availability of current concentrates has restricted access to therapy to ...

Call a sum of exponentials of the form f(x) = exp (2πiN1x) + exp (2πiN2x) + · · ·+ exp (2πiNmx), where the Nk are distinct integers, an idempotent. We have L interval concentration if there is a positive constant a, depending only on p, such that for each interval I ⊂ [0, 1] there is an idempotent f so that R I |f (x)| dx R 1 0 |f (x)| dx > a. We will explain how to produce such concentration f...

This research was conducted to estimate the amount of microbial protein synthesis in Iranian buffaloes' rumen. Four male swamp buffaloes with average live body weight of 140±10 kg were used in this study. Four diets of 0 (control diet, 100% forage), 15, 30 and 45% concentrate in a 4 × 4 Latin Square were tested. The results indicated that by increasing the concentrate level in the diet of swamp...

The aim of this study was to use meta-analysis to identify the enteric methane (CH4) mitigation strategy that reduced CH4 emission without lowering production. To this end, a database initially developed was updated, compiling data from 61 publications (233 experiments) for various observations in dairy cattle on effects of hydrogen sink (H-sink), ionophore, lipid and conc...

Profitability of different grouping criteria was simulated in a dairy farm with 153 lactating cows that were divided into three groups of high (79), medium (40) and low (34) cows based on the milk records. Animals were reassigned to the new groups based on the following criteria using a decision support tool and the same three groups scenario: fat corrected milk 4%, days in milk (DIM), dairy me...

Studies of the Fe, Cu, and Zn isotopic compositions volcanic rocks sulfides provide an important tool for understanding magmatic, hydrothermal, alteration processes, thereby enabling determination both transition metal sources quantification petrologic environmental impacts hydrothermal activities. In this study, δ56Fe δ57Fe values mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) are higher than those seafloor ...
