Beauty production in events containing two muons in the final state has been measured with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 114 pb. A low transverse-momentum threshold for muon identification, in combination with the large rapidity coverage of the ZEUS muon system, gives access to almost the full phase space for beauty production. The total cross section for beauty pr...

mahallat hot springs located in the northeast of mahallat, in central iran. there are 6 main hot springs namely shafa, abejoush, donbeh, soleimanie, hakim and soda. in this research, geology, physico-chemical characteristics and petrography of basement rocks of these hot springs have been investigated. the results show that hot springs have an average temperature of 45°c and acidic to neutral p...

Local and indigenous populations the world over ascribe deeply explicitly spiritual attributes to water. Springs, wells, rivers are homes of deities, have divine healing powers, enhance processes transformation. These rarely expressed in global declarations related sustainable water management found only implicitly a handful international treaties. This paper uses multi-scalar lens identify are...

Abstract The Chalk is an unusual karst aquifer with limited cave development, but extensive networks of smaller solutional conduits and fissures enabling rapid groundwater flow. Small-scale features (stream sinks, dolines, dissolution pipes, springs) are common, hundreds stream sinks recorded. Tracer velocities from 27 connections between springs have median mean 4700 4600 m d −1 . Tests to abs...

This paper examines the potential for calcium carbonate to reduce phosphate pollution in freshwaters by co-precipitation, a process known as a “self cleansing mechanism”. Calcium carbonate saturation levels and phosphate concentrations (SRP soluble reactive phosphate) across the major eastern UK river basins are examined to test for solubility controls. The study shows that calcite saturation v...

in this study multivariate statistical analysis are used to characterize relationships between hydrochemical properties ofthermal and non-thermal springs. four factors for thermal waters and two for non-thermal springs were extracted basedon factor analysis. in thermal springs, the first factor showed high loading on ca, mg, na and k and this factor wasinterpreted as leaching of cations in the ...

Introduction: Radon-222 gas is a radioactive, colorless and odorless element that can cause lung cancer and stomach in humans with alpha-ray emissions. An important source of Radon-222 is the output water in springs, especially hot springs to emit ionision radiation. In this study, Rn-222 activity concentration and gamma dose rate levels in water sample of some selected hot spr...

throughout human evolution history, beauty has always been one of the necessary integral components of human need. as greer (2010) said, “one of the prehistoric human’s responses to the animal life around them was to etch and paint these animals on the walls of their caves. turning them into art and rendering them beautiful was a natural response - a way to help make sense of a hostile and conf...
