Geochemical data from the 625 Ma Massabesic Gneiss Complex of southern New Hampshire show strong affinities for other Avalonian rocks of southern New England and suggest continental rifting in the Late Proterozoic. Migmatized paragneiss, the dominant rock type in the complex, has major and trace element compositions that are compatible with graywackes from continental arcs. The paragneiss also ...

Two-component hydrograph separation using oxygen-18 concentrations was conducted at a sediment runoff observation weir installed in a small subcatchment of a forested gneiss catchment in Japan. The mean soil thickness of this catchment is 7.27 m, which comprises 3.29 m of brown forest soil (A and B layers) and a 3.98-m layer of heavily weathered gneiss. Data were collected for a storm on 20–21 ...

Web services offer a more reliable and efficient way to access online data than scraping web pages. However, interacting with web services to retrieve data often requires people to write a lot of code. Moreover, many web services return data in complex hierarchical structures that make it difficult for people to perform any further data manipulation. We developed Gneiss, a tool that extends the...

the most important characteristic of dome and factors influencing it in the islamic iranian architecture that is different from other courses is construction and construction methods of them. over time, different factors are involved in the process of formation of the domes. it is one of the factors influencing the structure of iranian-islamic domes. by examining the structure of iranian-islami...

Introduction: Highly refractory micro-minerals such as zircon, monazite and baddeleyite can survive and record intense shock metamorphism, and occasionally recrystallize to date impact events. Their microscale records have the potential to be used to deduce the timing and magnitude of large impacts in ex-situ solar system samples (i.e. meteorites, crystal clasts in breccias) provided we have a ...
