in the asemi-gawa area of intermediate high-pressure and low-temperature sanbagawa metamorphic belt in central shikoku, japan, piemontite-quartz schists are common in which cation exchange between piemontite and garnet has been studied. piemontite in contact with garnet usually contains two zones in which core is enriched in mn3+ and surrounded by a rim rich in fe3+. garnet is ca-fe-bearing spe...

A new method is developed to control water fugacity at a fixed pressure and temperature. We use two divariant phase assemblages (clinohumite–periclase–forsterite and brucite–periclase) in the MgO– SiO2–H2O system and the chemical reactions among co-existing phases buffer the water fugacity. In order to avoid a reaction between the water fugacity buffer and the specimen, a double-capsule assembl...

The knot probability of semiflexible polygons on the cubic lattice is investigated. The degree of stiffness of the polygon is mimicked by introducing a bending fugacity conjugate to the curvature of the polygon. By generalizing Kesten’s pattern theorem to semiflexible walks, we show that for any finite value of the bending fugacity all except exponentially few sufficiently long polygons are kno...

The eutectic mineral assemblage calcite-dolomitepericlase-apatite-forsterite-magnesioferrite-pyrrhotite-alabandite in a carbonatite dike within the Oka complex, Quebec, buffers the fugacities (and partial pressures) of all gas species in C-O-H-S-F, assuming vapor saturation. At the inferred eutectic (640 ~ C, 1 kbar), the most important gas species and their partial pressures (bars) were: H20, ...

This work introduces an in vivo cancer marker in mice from the altitude of the well, determined by this cancer. The duration of development and the altitude of the cancer well are obtained from the synchronization of the mechanics and the kinetics of the processes of normal and anomalous transport under tumor mass growth. The mechanics and the kinetics of these two transports are found from the...

Recently Duminil-Copin and Smirnov proved a long-standing conjecture of Nienhuis, made in 1982, that the connective constant of self-avoiding walks on the honeycomb lattice is √ 2 + √ 2. A key identity used in that proof was later generalised by Smirnov so as to apply to a general O(n) model with n ∈ [−2,2]. We modify this model by restricting to a half-plane and introducing a fugacity associat...
