the chadegan metamorphic complex is a wnw-ese- trending antiformal structure located in sanandaj-sirjan structural zone, iran.the inner core of the structure is made of orthogneiss, containing eclogitic lenses. schists and marbles lie structurally above theorthogneiss and crop out in the external limbs of the antiformal dome. two main deformational episodes have been documented in theschists an...

Recent studies have shown that cells in the intermediate zone (IZ) of the embryonic neocortex originate in the basal telencephalon and migrate tangentially in the cortical wall (;; ). We had previously observed growing cortical axons closely apposed to calbindin-positive, tangentially oriented cells in the IZ (), and it has been shown that neurites in the IZ express a glutamate transporter (). ...

In [Kat94b], Kato defined his notion of a log regular scheme and studied the local behavior of such schemes. A toric variety equipped with its canonical logarithmic structure is log regular. And, these schemes allow one to generalize toric geometry to a theory that does not require a base field. This paper will extend this theory by removing normality requirements.

Following field observations of increased photosynthesis at increased rates of sediment flushing in sandy sediments, we conducted a series of laboratory experiments to elucidate the mechanism behind these observations. Column experiments in which water was pumped though sand at rates ranging from 0 to 613 L m22 d21 showed that carbon (C) fixation, as measured using carbon-14 (14C) incorporation...

It has been previously proposed that alkalinity release from sediments can play an important role in the carbonate dynamics on continental shelves, lowering the pCO2 of seawater and hence increasing the CO2 uptake from the atmosphere. To test this hypothesis, sedimentary alkalinity generation was quantified within cohesive and permeable sediments across the North Sea during two cruises in Septe...

[1] Riparian zones in semiarid regions often exhibit high rates of evapotranspiration (ET) in spite of low-soil moisture content due to the presence of phreatophytic vegetation that is able to withdraw water from shallow aquifers. This work seeks to better define the relationship between ET, the saturated zone and the river boundary by comparing observed water table drawdown records to analytic...
