Hepatic porphyries have been associated with an increased risk of primary liver cancer (PLC), which on the other hand may cause an increased porphyrin production. To evaluate the role of an underlying liver disorder we analyzed porphyrins in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (n = 65), cholangiocellular carcinoma (n = 3), or suspected PLC, which turned out to be metastases (n = 18) or...

This paper focuses on the relationships between the geological model and exploration techniques for porphyry Cu ± Au deposits, with reference to the discovery record and exploration practices over the past fifteen years. The porphyry model is built on a long record of study dating back to the 1960s which has been gradually refined to encompass differences and complexities in mineralization and ...

The fast mineral exploration system with remote sensing is a brand new exploration system of recognition, identification, analysis and prediction. It takes metallogenic materials as the detection targets, uses the spectrum measuring technique as detection means and takes the spatial and temporal sequence of mineralization and alteration information as an evaluation basis. It develops and improv...

In this presentation questions are raised about a melt-restite unmixing model proposed by Barton and Sidle (1994) for the myrmekite-bearing Waldoboro granite complex along the southeastern coast of Maine (USA). This complex consists mostly of granite/granodiorite gneiss and granite, but smaller masses of quartz diorite, aplite, pegmatite, leucogranite, tourmaline granite, and granite porphyry o...

the arghash area is located 45 km to southwest of neyshabour. the subvolcanic rocks in the area consist of biotite hornblende quartz monzodiorite porphyry, hornblende biotite quartz monzodiorite porphyry, hornblende monzonite porphyry, biotite hornblende monzonite porphyry, monzodiorite porphyry and biotite quartz monzodiorite porphyry units. the volcanic rocks consist of hornblende biotite dac...

Abstract Porphyry-type deposits are the world’s main source of copper and molybdenum provide a large proportion gold other metals. However, mechanism by which mineralising fluids extracted from magmas transported upwards into ore-forming environment is not clearly understood. Here we use field, micro-textural geochemical techniques to investigate field relationships samples circa 8 km deep cros...

The aim of ARTCADHi, the transdisciplinary research network which designed Porphyry and Steatite software, is to experiment the feasibility of a digital hermeneutics. The main idea is to offer a digital place where scholars could build their interpretation about document corpora and confront it with the viewpoints of other scholars. In order to be easily confronted the viewpoints are modeled th...
