Abstract New mineralogical, geochemical, and geochronological data are presented for the Island Dam prospect, Olympic Cu-Au Province, South Australia. Skarn assemblages comprising actinolite/phlogopite + K-feldspar magnetite suggest presence of calcareous protoliths at indicate high-temperature alkali-calcic alteration in early stages IOCG mineralization, as seen other deposits region. Dating l...

The behaviour of Group I and II elements during the petrogenesis felsic igneous rocks is largely controlled by feldspar-liquid relationships. Numerous experimental studies have addressed plagioclase/melt element partitioning, with fewer devoted to potassium feldspar, very few albite-rich ternary-composition feldspar (An ∼ Or < Ab). However, partition coefficient for Ba known increase at ...

the zonouz kaolin deposit is located ~15 km northeast of marand, east-azarbaidjan province. based on physical features in field investigations, such as color, five distinct kaolin types including (1) white, (2) lemon, (3) gray, (4) brown, and (5) yellow are distinguished in the deposit. field evidence and petrographic studies indicate that the deposit is genetically close to trachy-andesite roc...

BACKGROUND In an attempt to reduce harm related to gambling problems, an Internet sports betting service provider, bwin Interactive Entertainment, AG (bwin), imposes limits on the amount of money that users can deposit into their online gambling accounts. We examined the effects of these limits on gambling behavior. METHODS We compared (1) gambling behavior of those who exceeded deposit limit...

Feldspar grains, as a significant provenance indicator, of two terrigenous formations from Central Iran, the Upper Red Formation, and Moghan area, Zivah Formation, are used for provenance determination and the study of transportation and depositional history. The Upper Red Formation (URF) is volumetrically the most important siliciclastic unit of the Central Iran and Zivah Formation (ZF) repres...

Dense deposit disease (DDD) is an orphan disease that primarily affects children and young adults without sexual predilection. Studies of its pathophysiology have shown conclusively that it is caused by fluid-phase dysregulation of the alternative pathway of complement, however the role played by genetics and autoantibodies like C3 nephritic factors must be more thoroughly defined if we are to ...
