The identification and confirmation of bona fide Archean-Paleoproterozoic microfossils can prove to be a challenging task, further compounded by diagenetic and metamorphic histories. While structures of likely biological origin are not uncommon in Precambrian rocks, the search for early fossil life has been disproportionately focused on lesser thermally altered rocks, typically greenschist or l...

The Japanese ASTER sensor on board the US Terra satellite was launched in December 1999 to establish a spaceborne capability for high spatial, multispectral visible-shortwave infrared and thermal infrared remote sensing data mapping of the Earth’s environment. The Mt Fitton test site in South Australia was chosen to test the ability of the ASTER instrument for geological mapping having been pre...

Context. The observed sodium abundance of meteoroids in meteor showers might differ from the original abundance because of processing in interplanetary space after ejections from their parent bodies. Among various processes, thermal alteration of alkali silicate is most likely the major process of Na depletion. Aims. We clarify at which perihelion distances the thermal desorption alters the Na ...

The objective of this paper is to compare the thermal behavior a light frame timber wall by measuring 15 test samples with various insulation materials versus theoretical simulation use software. This work establishes variance between two different methods measure transmittance coefficient walls. It verified that mean percentage alteration 4.25%. Furthermore, approach proved software, additiona...

the present study was conducted to determine the relative contribution of initial quality and compositional parameters to the rate of changes (rctpc) in the content of total polar compounds (tpc), which is considered to be one of the most reliable indicators of heated oils quality, of olive oil during continuous heating at 180 ºc. the ratio between monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid...

SFRE 199-1 medium (SFRE-M) is important mammalian cell culture medium, used for the culture of primary cells of mammals such as baboon kidney cells. The present study was attempted to evaluate the impact of biofield energy treatment on the physical, thermal and spectral properties of SFRE-M. The study was accomplished in two groups; one was set as control while another was subjected to Mr. Triv...

All sorts of anomaly graphs of physical geography and geochemistry, such as aeromagnetic anomaly graphs, bouguer gravity anomaly graphs, regional geochemical anomaly graphs and so on, are all parameters for exploration deposit. And following the remote sensing image shortwave and infrared bands coming, researchers of remote sense have engaged in many highly effective experiments and have approv...

sakhtehesar mountain is located in urumieh-dokhtar magmatic belt and is composed of volcanic and subvolcanic rocks (pliocene andesite to dacite) which intruded the volcanics and pyroclastics of paleocene age. three alteration zones including potassic, phyllic and propylitic are recognized in the area. in this paper, the mineral chemistry of magmatic and primary biotite and the mineral chemistry...

BACKGROUND The neuronal mechanisms that encode specific stimulus features in order to elicit defined behavioral responses are poorly understood. C. elegans forms a memory of its cultivation temperature (T(c)) and exhibits distinct behaviors in different temperature ranges relative to T(c). In particular, C. elegans tracks isotherms only in a narrow temperature band near T(c). T(c) memory is in ...
