Design of an Ultrasound Sensing System for Estimation of the Porosity of Agricultural Soils by Stuart Bradley, Chandra Ghimire

“…Although the method is applicable to all soil types, the current design has only been tested on dry, vegetation-free soils for which the sampled area does not contain large animal footprints or rocks.…”

Formation and investigation of plasma gradient coating with upper hafnium oxide layer by Svetlana Vyacheslavovna Savushkina, Mikhail Nikolaevich Polyansky, Elena Alexandrovna Vysotina, Artem Aleksandrovich Ashmarin

“…The relevance of the research is caused by the need to increase the operating temperature and thermocyclic resistance of the thermal barrier coating to protect heat-stressed details of aircraft and rocket technology against overheating, as well as for thermal insulation of sealing sectors of drilling columns for drilling wells in rocks. The main aim of the research is formation of nanostructured gradient coating with an upper layer of hafnium oxide, that has a gradient of chemical composition and coefficient of thermal expansion, by the method of plasma spraying in vacuum. …”

Mixing dry and wet magmas in the lower crust of a continental arc: new petrological insights from the Bear Valley Intrusive Suite, southern Sierra Nevada, California by Rezeau, Hervé, Klein, Benjamin Z., Jagoutz, Oliver

“…Considering the similar geochemical characteristics of intermediate and felsic igneous rocks from the Sierra Nevada batholith and the Cascades, mixing magmas of variable H2O contents in the lower crust represents a viable petrological process to produce SiO2-rich liquids that may be more common than previously recognized.…”

STUDI NERACA AIR DALAM MENENTUKAN DAERAH TANGKAPAN AIR (DTA) MATAAIR KARST (Studi Kasus Mataair Ngeleng, Giritirto, Purwosari, Gunungkidul) by , MUHAMMAD ABDUL AZIZ RAMDHANI, , Dr. Eko Haryono, M.Si.

“…Karst is a landform known as hard water area, for it is very difficult to find the surface water storage there. This is because the rocks in the karst system have many cracks or fissures, so water is easier to be absorbed by the ground. …”

A new set of standards for in-situ measurement of bromine abundances in natural silicate glasses: application to SR-XRF, LA-ICP-MS and SIMS techniques by Cadoux, A, Iacono-Marziano, G, Paonita, A, Deloule, E, Aiuppa, A, Eby, G, Costa, M, Brusca, L, Berlo, K, Geraki, K, Mather, T, Pyle, D, Di Carlo, I

“…In this study we characterise 21 Br-doped glasses synthesized from natural volcanic rocks of mafic to silicic compositions, in order to produce a new set of standards for Br analyses using various techniques. …”

The structural geometry, metamorphic and magmatic evolution of the Everest massif, Nepal and South Tibet by Searle, M, Simpson, R, Law, R, Parrish, R

“…Kinematic indicators from footwall rocks show top-down-to-north shear sense during non-coaxial simple shear, but the low degree of fabric symmetry suggests an important contribution of pure shear flattening (coaxial) deformation. …”

Mechanisms controlling the silicon isotopic compositions of river waters by Georg, R, Reynolds, B, Frank, M, Halliday, A

“…The other rivers display increasing complexity with increases in the proportion of forested and cultivated landscapes as well as carbonate rocks in the catchment. In these instances it is impossible to resolve the extent of the isotopic fractionation and contributed flux of Si contributed by biological processes as opposed to abiotic weathering. …”

Age and anatomy of the Gongga Shan batholith, eastern Tibetan Plateau, and its relationship to the active Xianshui-he fault by Searle, MP, Roberts, NMW, Chung, S-L, Lee, Y-H, Cook, KL, Elliott, JR, Weller, OM, St-Onge, MR, Xu, X-W, Tan, X-B, Li, K

“…Our new geochronological data show that only a part of the Gongga Shan granite batholith is composed of young (Miocene) melt, and we surmise that as most of eastern Tibet is composed of Precambrian-Triassic Indosinian rocks, there is no geological evidence to support regional Cenozoic internal thickening or metamorphism and no evidence for eastward-directed lower crustal flow away from Tibet. …”

The silicon isotopic composition of inner Solar System materials by Armytage, R, Rosalind Armytage

“…The isotopic compositions of diverse materials such as chondrites, lunar rocks and asteroidal basalts can shed light on the homogeneity of the solar nebula, metal-silicate differentiation on planetary bodies, and terrestrial moon formation.…”

Geological evolution of the Hindu Kush, NW Frontier Pakistan: active margin to continent-continent collision zone by Hildebrand, P, Searle, M, Shakirullah, Khan, Z, Van Heijst, H

“…To the northwest, the units of the eastern Hindu Kush are dominated by monotonous sequences of graphite-rich pelitic rocks. Southeast of the fault, the phyllites and diamictites are thought to be lateral equivalents of the Northern Sedimentary Belt of the Karakoram. …”

Tics in the theatre: The quiet audience, the relaxed performance, and the neurodivergent spectator by Simpson, H

“…Alongside what Max Barton calls “audience attitudes that are potentially linked to disrespect, such as heckling, using phones and crackling sweep and crisp packets” (n.p.), much other audience noise that signals only an alternatively functioning body is condemned as equally inappropriate or disrespectful in the theatre auditorium: the verbal tic or motor convulsion of the person with Tourette syndrome, the repetitive tapping of the individual with OCD, or the self-comforting rocking of the child with autism. Partially as a result of such stringent policing of ‘quiet audience’ etiquette, individuals with a disability or long-term illness have significantly lower rates of arts attendance than others (Smith 40). …”

The dynamic crustal and mantle structure around the afar triple junction by Gauntlett, M

“…Key observations are an aseismic region of low VP, low VS and high VP/VS ratio at depths of 6–10 km b.s.l., interpreted as the primary melt storage region that fed the eruption; a zone of high VS, low VP and low VP/VS ratio, representing an intrusive complex of fractured rocks partially-saturated with over-pressurised gases.…”

Phosphorus in Acid Soils Amended with Organic and Inorganic Inputs: its Status and Interactions by Bah, Abdul Rahman
