The mineral chemistry of diamond indicator minerals is used to trace mineralizations in primary rocks such as lamproites/kimberlites and secondary deposits. Subcalcic garnets magnesian ilmenites are both associated with the potential described many deposits Alto Paranaíba Igneous Province where several kimberlitic pipes alluvial occur. Our study was conducted on Romaria deposit (Brazil), garnet...

Precise, long-range, airborne GPS kinematic positioning requires the use of carrier phase measurements, the data processing of which suffers from the technical challenges of "on-the-fly" ambiguity resolution and cycle slip repair. In this paper the authors describe how the combination of an 'ambiguity recovery' technique and a 'linear bias correction' method has been used to support oceanograph...

The current research examines gender differences in the self esteem and happiness of university students. A sample of 120 students (60 males and 60 females) was drawn from the various departments of university of Sargodha within the age range of 18-26 years. Convenience sampling technique was used.

Universally accepted conceptualizations of introversion-extroversion and happiness have, thus far, not been agreed upon. The present study reviewed and empirically examined the psychometric properties of Susan Cain’s recently constructed Quiet Introversion Questionnaire, the domai...

Research in animals and humans suggests a role of oxytocin in social approach to strangers. We tested this by introducing undergraduate students to opposite-gendered strangers, with each member of the pair having taken either oxytocin or placebo. One hundred and four undergraduate students were paired up and engaged in a face-to-face conversation structured with a series of intimate topics for ...

DFA ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL DATA Bronson Argyle Physics Department Bachelor of Science Recent developments in the field of biophysics, both in findings and methods, have consequences that extend not only into physics in general, but may have application in a rigorous mathematical analysis of financial markets. Specifically, we apply the interpretative power of the Detrended Fluctuation Analysis t...

During the last half of the twentieth century, psychologists and anthropologists have studied proxemics, or spacing behavior, among people in many contexts. As we enter the twenty-Žrst century, immersive virtual environment technology promises new experimental venues in which researchers can study proxemics. Immersive virtual environments provide realistic and compelling experimental settings w...
