Chemical and Physical Changes in Tropical Soils from Seawater Exposure and Subsequent Rainwater Washes
Abstract There is little published information regarding the response of tropical island soils to periodic seawater intrusions. In this paper, we describe batch experiments where samples of three Hawaiian acidic upland soils (collected from western...

Evaluation of the rhenium–osmium geochronometer in the Phosphoria petroleum system, Bighorn Basin of Wyoming and Montana, USA
Abstract Rhenium–osmium (Re–Os) geochronometry is applied to crude oils derived from the Permian Phosphoria Formation of the Bighorn Basin in Wyoming and Montana to determine whether the radiogenic age reflects the timing of petroleum generation,...

Database Management and Quality Assurance is Key of Success in Exploration
Abstract Exploration is the risky part in the mining business stage. The final goal of exploration is to discover an economic deposit in the certain area; generally by using the three main stages of exploration which are to find, to prove and then...

A bound on the viscosity of the Tibetan crust from the horizontality of palaeolake shorelines
Abstract Palaeoshorelines around four large lakes in central Tibet record a latest-Pleistocene-to-Holocene high stand during which the lakes were filled 150–200m more deeply than they are at present. GPS measurements of shoreline elevations around...

The sensitivity of the calculation of ΔV to vehicle and impact parameters
Abstract ΔV is frequently used to describe collision severity, and is often used by accident investigators to estimate speeds of vehicles prior to a collision, and by researchers looking for correlations between severity and outcome. This study...

Dynamic simulation of batch freezing tunnels for fish using Modelica
Abstract Fish products are frozen to preserve quality and extend shelf-life. However, freezing processes in the industry are typically very energy demanding and seldom optimized with regard to energy usage. During freezing, the operating conditions...

The Archean Granitoid-Paleoproterozoic Unconformity: Superimposition of Alteration Events in Archean Granitoids, Gabon
Abstract The Archean granitoids of the South Gabon, dated from 3.0-to-2.5 Ga, were examined along the Archean-Proterozoic unconformity. The petrography was based on mineralogical identification using electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and the...

Redox Oscillation Impact on Natural and Engineered Biogeochemical Systems: Chemical Resilience and Implications for Contaminant Mobility
Abstract Many geochemical systems fluctuate regularly from oxic to anoxic conditions (flooded soils and nuclear waste surface repositories, for instance). In these conditions many inorganic contaminants including Sb, Se, Cr, As, and U are highly...

A cusp catastrophe model of mid–long-term landslide evolution over low latitude highlands of China
Abstract Based on a model describing a certain landslide case and catastrophe theory, we derived a cusp catastrophe model and corresponding inversion method to study mid–long-term landslide evolution. According to data of landslides, precipitation,...
