The Chah-Shur clay deposit is located in150 km southeast of Isfahan. Eocene igneous rocks ‎and Quaternary deposits cover the area. Eocene volcanic rocks include andesite and tuffs ‎which relating to magmatic activities of Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt. Alteration of the ‎vitric and lithic tuff units has produced the clay deposit. Based on the petrographic studies, ‎the main minerals in tuff uni...

Theoretical studies about the interrelation of bank runs and deposit insurance assume that depositors are perfectly informed about deposit insurance and its main features. This assumption is commonly made, but was hardly ever checked empirically. Taking German depositors as an example, we investigate the knowledge about existing deposit insurance systems and how the insurance levels of differen...

We investigated the presence and localization of glycosaminoglycans in basal laminar deposit and drusen in age-related maculopathy. Conventional histological staining techniques and monoclonal antibodies specific for several glycosaminoglycans were used on paraffin-embedded human maculae. Furthermore, macular homogenates were analyzed with two-dimensional electrophoresis. Quantitative analysis ...

Introduction: The Jezero impact crater hosted an open-basin lake [1] that was active during the valley network forming era on early Mars [2]. This basin contains a well exposed delta deposit at the mouth of the western inlet valley (Fig. 1) [1,3-5]. The fluvial stratigraphy of this deposit provides a record of the channels that built the delta over time. Here we describe observations of the str...

Clinical and pathological examination was performed on 378 eyes from 216 patients aged 43 to 97 years. This series represented eyes in which the fundi were normal or showed various manifestations of senile macular degeneration. The eyes were divided into six groups according to the histological appearance of a linear deposit at the base of the retinal pigment cells. Groups I and II were conside...

Fibronectin was localized using peroxidase and biotin-avidin-ferritin techniques in developmental stages of the chick embryo from laying to primitive streak formation. The primary location of fibronectin at all stages examined was the basal lamina of the epiblast and its associated extracellular material. The remaining tissues showed little or no immunochemical deposit. At the primitive streak ...

Legal deposit processes for printed material has been established for centuries [1]. However, the same processes are not necessarily applicable in the case of non-print material such as electronic books. Legal deposit of electronic publications is subject to numerous, often unique challenges such as the legal deposit process, legal issues and infrastructure required. Some of these have been rep...

Measuring value and interest rate risk in retail financial markets such as the market for consumer deposits has proven to be a very difficult problem for financial firms. Standard models of value and interest rate risk (duration), based on the competitive market paradigm, are inappropriate in retail markets characterized by sluggish price and quantity behavior. Although the penetration of sophi...

Light and electron microscopic studies of corn plants (Zea mays L.) exposed to Pb in hydroponic solution showed that the roots generally accumulated a surface Pb precipitate and slowly accumulated Pb crystals in the cell walls. The root surface precipitate formed without the apparent influence of any cell organelles. In contrast, Pb taken up by roots was concentrated in dictyosome vesicles. Dic...
