When magma’inside a diapir solidifies it increases in density and becomes a stiff power-law fluid. If the diapir is still positively (or negatively) buoyant after solidification, it will continue to rise (or start to sink). The results presented here suggest that solidified diapirs may rise (sink) a distance of up to a few kilometres in geologically reasonable times. Rocks and bubbleand/or crys...

Rock wall permafrost is highly sensitive to atmospheric warming. Its degradation regarded as a primary factor accounting for the recent increase in periglacial rock slope failures. Investigations of have so far ignored hydrological processes acting bedrock fractures. We propose 2-D coupled thermal and modeling approach applied alpine permafrost. Simulations are carried out on scale mountain fla...

In view of the difficulty surrounding rock control retaining a roadway along goaf, this paper takes 5504 working face Hongshuliang Coal Mine as engineering context. The uniaxial compressive strength and tensile concrete filling material in retained are determined by laboratory tests. Through theoretical analysis, field investigation, numerical simulation measurement, distribution characteristic...

We recently identified a novel human protein kinase, p160 ROCK, as a putative downstream target of the small GTPase Rho. Using the human ROCK cDNA as a probe, we isolated cDNA of two distinct, highly related sequences from mouse libraries. One encoded a mouse counterpart of human ROCK (ROCK-I), and the other encoded a novel ROCK-related kinase (ROCK-II). Like ROCK/ROCK-I, ROCK-II also bound to ...

Abstract Some geochemical models for basaltic and more primitive rocks suggest that their parental magmas have assimilated tens of weight percent crustal silicate wall rock. But what are the thermodynamic limits assimilation in magmas? We pursue this question quantitatively using a freely available tool phase equilibria modeling open magmatic systems—the Magma Chamber Simulator (https://mcs.geo...
