The Western Domain of the Magallanes Fold-and-Thrust Belt (MFTB) between 52°-54°S is part a poorly studied hinterland region southernmost Andean Cordillera. This domain consists NNW-SSE trending tectonic slices pre-Jurassic basement units and Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous ophiolitic complexes volcano-sedimentary successions Rocas Verdes Basin (RVB). New detrital zircon U–Pb ages metatuffs met...

We view MgB2 as electronically equivalent to (non-staggered) graphite (B − layer) that has undergone a zero gap semiconductor to a superconductor phase transition by a large c-axis (chemical) pressure due to Mg layers. Further, like the pπ bonded planar organic molecules, graphite is an old resonating valence bond (RVB) system. The RVB’s are the ‘preexisting cooper pairs’ in the ‘parental’ zero...

We study charge ordered d-wave resonating valence bond states sdRVBd in the doped cuprates, and estimate the energies of these states in a generalized t-J model by using a renormalized mean-field theory. The longrange Coulomb potential tends to modulate the charge density in favor of the charge ordered RVB state. The possible relevance to the recently observed 434 checkerboard patterns in tunne...

Interpersonal violent acts are a worldwide problem. Deterrence of violence has been, and remains a complicated and often unsuccessful enterprise, given that violence is multi-factorial, and occurs in a variety of contexts (e.g., domestic violence; serial killing; mass slaying; terrorism; collective violence), and on a global scale within diverse socio-cultural populations (1). Given this broad ...

Rotaviruses (RVs) are significant enteric pathogens of humans and animals. In March 2021, the University Kentucky Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (UKVDL) received a fecal sample from 1-week-old goat kid with diarrhea farm 5 additional diarrheic kids. The was tested negative for Bovine coronavirus , rotavirus Group A, E. coli K99+, Cryptosporidium parvum Salmonella spp by multiplex real-time PC...
