Petrogenesis of the Deccan high-Mg basalts and picrites by Chatterjee, Nilanjan

“…Primary magmas of the basalts that plot on their cotectic boundaries were modeled through reverse fractionation by incrementally adding equilibrium Ol + Pl + Cpx, Ol + Pl and Ol ± spinel, until the liquid was multiply saturated with lherzolite at a high pressure. The high-Mg basalts are contaminated with continental crust. …”

The effect of different degree of compaction towards electrical resistivity value for cohesive soil by Abd Malik, A. K., Madun, A., Abu Talib, M. K., Pakir, F., Md Dan, M. F., Abu Bakar, N.

“…Electrical resistivity is a non-destructive method used to measure the resistivity of ground properties, which is related to soil properties such as porosity and degree of saturation, as described in Archie's law. In road construction, soil compaction is a crucial process that requires quick quality assessment. …”
