We use the results of elevated pressure melting experiments to constrain the role of melt/mantle reaction in the formation of tholeiitic magma from Kilauea volcano, Hawaii. Trace element abundance data is commonly interpreted as evidence that Kilauea tholeiite is produced by partial melting of garnet lherzolite. We experimentally determine the liquidus relations of a tightly constrained estimat...

This paper deals with a noisy speech enhancement technique based on the fusion of auditory and visual information. We first present the global structure of the system, and then we focus on the tool we used to melt both sources of information. The whole noise reduction system is implemented in the context of vowel transitions corrupted with white noise. A complete evaluation of the system in thi...

Many geochemical models of major igneous differentiation events on the Earth, the Moon, and Mars invoke the presence of garnet or its high-pressure majoritic equivalent as a residual phase, based on its ability to fractionate critical trace element pairs (Lu/Hf, U/Th, heavy REE/light REE). As a result, quantitative descriptions of mid-ocean ridge and hot spot magmatism, and lunar, martian, and ...

The article describes an advanced test stand for measuring temperatures during the 3D printing additive manufacturing. Based on mathematical procedures, it analyzes impact energy of laser beam used in metal printing.

The melting process during laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) is accompanied by complex physical phenomena, which can be rarely scaled with acceptable effort to utilize the in component design obtain tailored mechanical properties adequate machine productivity. A constitutive law relating melt pool geometry parameters thereby plays an essential role practically fostering productivity and quality LP...

Volumetrically significant melt production requires crustal temperatures above approximately 800 °C. At the grain scale, the former presence of melt may be inferred based on various microstructures, particularly pseudomorphs of melt pores and grain-boundary melt films. In residual migmatites and granulites, evidence of melt-extraction pathways at outcrop scale is recorded by crystallized produc...
