The potential use of a nonlinear deterministic framework for understanding the dynamic nature of solute transport processes in subsurface formations is investigated. Time series of solute particle transport in a heterogeneous aquifer medium, simulated using an integrated probability/Markov chain (TP/MC) model, groundwater flow model, and particle transport model, are studied. The correlation di...

It is well established that the major and minor element contents of chromites are subject to change during greenschist amphibolite facies metamorphism. During upper metamorphism, chromite can be completely converted chrome magnetite. However, not all elements affected same degree, concentrations +2 ions (e.g. Zn, Co, Mn) being particularly vulnerable modification. The degree which trace element...

Three well - known source rocks of the Zagros basin and the Persian Gulf are Mesozoic in age.The Jurassic Sargelu, Albian Kazhdumi and Neocomian-Coniacian Garau formations have charged the Cretaceous reservoirs of this area. The northwest part of the Persian Gulf is strongly influenced by two major N-S trending paleohighs (Hendijan- Bahregansar-Regesafid-Izeh and Kharge- Mish) and surrounding p...

Aghajari Formation, known as Upper Fars Group, is developed throughout the Folded Zagros Zone and has a thickness of 2966 m in its type section in SW of Iran and 1473 m in the study area, located 20 km west of Shiraz. Aghajari Formation, in this area, consists of three major facies associations. These are "fine", "medium" and "coarse" grained terrigenous sediments, usually interpreted as channe...

Cohen, A. S., 1989. Facies relationships and sedimentation in large rift lakes and implications for hydrocarbon exploration: examples from lakes Turkana and Tanganyika. Palaeogeogr., Palaeoclimatol., Palaeoecol., 70: 65-80. Two African lakes, Turkana and Tanganyika, illustrate a spectrum of sediments and facies architectures which can occur in large rift lacustrine basins. They demonstrate cont...

The Paleozoic Dniepr-Donets Basin in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia forms a major hydrocarbon province. Although well- and seismic data have established a 20 km thick stratigraphy, field-studies of its sediments are scarce. The inverted Donbas segment (Ukraine) exposes the middle Carboniferous part of the basin's stratigraphy. Here, we provide detailed sedimentological data from 13 sections that ...

Congenital fiber type disproportion is a rare type of congenital myopathy which presents as hypotonia, delayed motor milestones and dysmorphic facies. During the past 2 years we received 449 muscle biopsies, of which 4 cases were diagnosed as congenital fiber type disproportion (CFTD). In addition to CFTD, one case also had centronuclear features. Three of them were females and one was a male c...

We observed a 69 year old patient who had spontaneous paroxysmal attacks of weeping with lacrimation, contorted facies, and (usually) head-turning to the right. These episodes were followed by confusion and amnesia. During a pentylenetetrazol-evoked attack the EEG showed a right temporal delta rhythm. Atrophy, particularly of the right temporal regions, was noted on pneumoencephalography. We pr...
