Comparison of various methodological approaches to model asbestos thresholds for mesothelioma [PDF]
BackgroundThere is evidence to support several modes of action (MoAs), and particularly non-genotoxic MoAs, for mesothelioma induced by asbestiform elongate mineral particles (EMPs).

Experimental constraints on amphibole stability in primitive alkaline and calc-alkaline magmas [PDF]
Equilibrium crystallization experiments were carried out on two primitive basaltic rocks (APR16: Na2O+K2O=4.40 wt%; CM42: Na2O+K2O=2.59 wt%) with the aim to investigate the amphibole stability in the differentiation processes at deep crustal level, of

Assessment of asbestos exposure in Kyrgyzstan through analysis of raw and processed materials, air samples and human lung tissue [PDF]
Asbestos still represents a major public health problem on a global scale. In Central Asia chrysotile is still mined and used, claiming that it is safer with respect to amphibole asbestos within certain concentrations.

Investigation of the formation processes in the mafic enclaves of Naqadeh plutonic rocks assemblage by zircon U-Pb dating, Sr-Nd isotopic ratios, and amphibole composition [PDF]
Naqadeh intrusive pluton is composed of two distinct sections of felsic (40 Ma age) and mafic (99 Ma age) rocks. The granitoid rocks of Naqadeh pluton have different types of mafic enclaves, including mafic microgranular enclaves (MME) and quartz ...

Amp-TB2: An Updated Model for Calcic Amphibole Thermobarometry
Amphibole (Amp) plays a crucial role in the study of several earth and planetary processes. One of its most common applications is in thermobarometry, especially for volcanic-magmatic systems.

Approach to amphibole in Zaydari Nasaviâs Nafthat-o-Almasdour [PDF]
“Nafthat-o-Almasdour” book is one of the excellent examples of technical and stilted prose in the seventh century. The author of this work with complete mastery and benefit from a variety of literal and spiritual figures of speech has revealed his art in
