LUSI mud obtained from the mud volcano in Sidoarjo, Indonesia, is a viable aluminosilicate material to be utilized as pozzolanic material. LUSI is an abbreviation of the local name of the mud, i.e., Lumpur Sidoarjo, meaning Sidoarjo mud. This paper reports the results of an investigation to assess the pozzolanic activity of LUSI mud, especially in semi high volume pozzolanic mortar. In this cas...

Isogeny volcanoes are an interesting structure that have had several recent applications. An isogeny volcano is a connected component of a larger graph called a cordillera. In this paper, we further explore properties of how to compute volcanoes given that we have already computed one of a different degree. This allows us to compute volcanoes of composite degree more efficiently than a direct c...

In this paper the investigation results of thermal springs of the Mutnovsky Volcano (Kamchatka, Russia) are provided. Mud pots in the Donnoe Field of this volcano have a unique solution composition. High concentrations of a wide spectrum of chemical elements such as Al, Ti, V, Cr, Ni, Co, REE and PGE were discovered there. To explain the mechanisms of solution formation it was made an attempt t...

Introduction: A number of terrestrial analog studies have focused on characterizing individual lava flows [e.g., 3, 6-7]. Morphometric and compositional information from these features can be used to infer the rheological properties of similar lava flows, the timing and duration of the eruptions episodes, the depth of the magma chambers [2, 12-14], and even the eruptive and emplacement history ...

Performances of two common types of red mud, Bayer red mud and Sintering red mud, were investigated in this research. Their compositions, mechanical properties and microstructure characterization were measured through XRD, TG and SEM analysis. Their shear strength, particle size, density and hydraulic characteristics also had been performed. Huge differences between the basic mineral types of t...

MUDENG (Mu-2-related death-inducing gene, MuD) is revealed to be involved in cell death signaling. Astrocytes, the major glial cell type in the central nervous system, are a source of brain tumors. In this study, we examined MuD expression and function in human astroglioma cells. Stimulation of U251-MG cells with tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) resulted in a 40% ...

Climate variation of global monsoon (GM) precipitation involves both internal feedback and external forcing. Here, we focus on strong volcanic forcing since large eruptions are known to be a dominant mechanism in natural climate change. It is not known whether large volcanoes erupted at different latitudes have distinctive effects on the monsoon in the Northern Hemisphere (NH) and the Southern ...

Thumbprint terrain was first recognized in Viking Orbiter data and described as sets of alternating continuous parallel ridges depressions up to several tens kilometres length, with high low albedo respectively. We performed a geomorphological analysis these features using both Context Camera High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment images, well topographic profiles based on Mars Laser Altime...

Abstract Extensive beds of the deep-sea mussel Bathymodiolus mauritanicus (currently also known as Gigantidas ) linked to active cold seeps related fissure-like activity on Al Gacel mud volcano, Gulf Cádiz, were filmed and sampled for first time during oceanographic expedition SUBVENT-2 aboard R/V Sarmiento de Gamboa. volcano is one up 80 fluid venting submarine structures (mud volcanoes volcan...
