The Gruithuisen and Mairan domes on the moon represent morphologically and spectrally distinct nonmare extrusive volcanic features of Imbrian age. The composition, morphology, and age relationships of the domes indicate that nonmare extrusive volcanism in the northern Procellarum region of the moon continued until about 3.3 x 10(9) to 3.6 x 10(9) years ago and was partially contemporaneous with...

Shoot apical meristem (SAM) domes derived from five different outdoor and in vitro sources of juvenile and mature Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis akin genotypes were compared. Overall measurements of SAM dome height H and diameter D ranged from 2 to 35 μm and 20 to 80 μm, notwithstanding significant differences according to the various physiological origins of plant material investiga...

Introduction: The 35,000 km 2 Marius Hills (MH) complex located in Oceanus Procellarum is one of the highest concentrations of volcanic features (domes and cones) on the surface of the Moon [1]. Domes are 200-500m in height and have a different morphology from the surrounding mare units [2]. The domes are found within all the different lava flows as previously mapped from spectral [3,4] and/or ...

Between January and June 1976, eight cases of primary bacteremia due to Enterobacter cloacae occurred in patients after open-heart surgery in a hospital in Connecticut. Epidemiologic studies implicated radial arterial catheters as the route of acquistion of E cloacae, and bacteriologic studies confirmed arterial pressure transducers as the sources of bacteria. Prospective studies indicated that...

[1] Clusters and coalesced complexes of domes represent a relatively rare landform within the extensive, low-relief, lunar maria. While they are typically spectroscopically similar to mare basalts emplaced by high-volume, low-viscosity eruptions, the large-scale morphology of the domes is more consistent with slower emplacement and/or more viscous magma. We use new Earth-based radar data to stu...

[1] A new finite element code for compressible thermochemical convection is developed to study the stability of a chemical layer at the base of the mantle. Using composition-dependent compressibility and a density difference between compositions at a reference pressure, a composition-dependent density profile is derived. Together with depth-dependent thermal expansion, this combination of param...

Rabbits were starved for a week and then allowed to take the standard diet; the animals were sacrificed after 20 or 24 hr. One group of the animals were treated in winter, and the other, in summer. Control animals were fed solid rabbit food ad libitum. In the control rabbits, short rudimentary canaliculi and occasional small-sized pored domes were found in the thicker portions of the endothelia...

The dome is a vital element and prominent building feature in Islamic Architecture. This paper analyzes the geometrical philosophical approach to transition of two types domes, i.e., square octagonal base domes. timeline region selected for work are from 1420s 1630s Indian subcontinent. During period, it covers three dynasties: Sayyid Dynasty, Lodi Mughal their change toward shapes domes accord...

Introduction: Mud volcanoes provide a unique low-temperature window into the Earth’s subsurface – including the deep biosphere – and may prove to be significant sources of atmospheric methane. The identification of analogous features on Mars would provide an important new class of sites for geological and astrobiological exploration. We report new work suggesting that features in Acidalia Plani...
