Abstract Abundant silica-undersaturated potassic lavas are found in the centre of Turkish–Iranian plateau (NW Iran) as flows, pillows and dykes. They display abundant zoned clinopyroxene macrocrysts xenoliths igneous cumulates. We determined four types crystals (Type-I, -II, -III -IV) on basis their composition zoning patterns. Use situ compositional data, together with whole-rock major trace e...

After establishing user requirements (Lloyd, Dykes, Radburn, 2007) human centred techniques can be used to progressively prototype geovisualization applications. User evaluation has been limited in visualization (Ellis and Dix, 2006) and a handful of studies focus on geovisualization users at the design stages (e.g. Ahonen-Rainio and Kraak, 2005). This paper outlines work to mediate geovisualiz...

Submarine eruptions that lead to the formation of new volcanic islands are rare and far from being fully understood; only a few such eruptions have been witnessed since Surtsey Island emerged to the south of Iceland in the 1960s. Here we report on two new volcanic islands that were formed in the Zubair archipelago of the southern Red Sea in 2011-2013. Using high-resolution optical satellite ima...

During the past two decades, several groups of workers have investigated the serum protein levels in patients suffering from ulcerative colitis (Tumen, Monaghan, and Jobb, 1947; Spellberg, Mosiman, and Smith, 1950; Bendandi, 1956; Bicks, Kirsner, and Palmer, 1959; Brooke, Dykes, and Walker, 1961; Soergel and Ingelfinger, 1961), and as a result of these investigations it is now widely accepted t...

For the last fifty years, the design floods of a number of embankment dams were re-evaluated and the revised spillway outflows are often larger than the original design discharges. Several embankment overtopping protection systems were developed for earthfill structures, and the applications range from river dykes to tsunami protections including embankment dams. Well-known designs include timb...

The paleogeography of the Meso-Neoproterozoic Rodinia supercontinent remains debated partly because many stable cratons still lack reliable paleomagnetic data for this period. A new geochronological and study was conducted on NNW-trending Manso dyke swarm southern West Africa (Ghana) to clarify position unconstrained continent in Rodinia. Two UPb apatite ages 857.2 ± 8.5 Ma 855 16 agree with on...
