Anthropological, Pathological, and Historical Analyses of a Mummified Cranium From Bolivia Hosted in the Museum of Cantonal Archaeology and History of Lausanne, Switzerland

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The past decade has seen a worldwide tendency to re‐examine human remains found in old museum collections. These studies look at the provenance of the remains, the way they ended up in specific collections, the context from which they are likely issued, and all the parameters implicated in their current presence in museum custody.

Relaxation of the leaf economics spectrum within and across quaking aspen Populus tremuloides genotypes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Plant functional traits typically show strong covariation, e.g. as in the worldwide leaf economics spectrum (LES). Covariation is thought to arise from selective forces and physical constraints. However, processes shaping covariation at interspecific scales may differ from those at intraspecific scales.

Exchangeable lead (Pb) in lowland paddy soils of Sri Lanka as affected by the differences in agro‐climatic zones, soil orders, and water sources

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Lead (Pb) accumulation in the human body poses serious health risks. As rice is the staple food in Sri Lanka, with a high per capita intake (114 kg), there is a significant risk of Pb transfer through rice consumption. This study evaluated exchangeable Pb concentrations in soils and produced Pb distribution maps.

Catalysts for change: Museum gardens in a planetary emergency

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Natural history museums are often seen as places with indoor galleries full of dry‐dusty specimens, usually of animals. But if they have gardens associated with them, museums can use living plants to create narratives that link outside spaces to inside galleries, bringing to life the challenges facing biodiversity.

Crustal structure beneath the Trondelag Platform and adjacent areas of the Mid-Norwegian margin, as derived from wide-angle seismic and potential field data [PDF]

, 2010
The outer mid-Norwegian margin is characterized by strong breakup magmatism and has been extensively surveyed. The crustal structure of the inner continental shelf, however, is less studied, and its relation to the onshore geology, Caledonian structuring,

Method for Determining Igneous Rock Mineral Content Using Element Logging Data Based on Variational AutoEncoder

Cejing jishu
Igneous rocks exhibit significant variations in mineral content due to differences in magma types and the environment in which they solidify, and the skeleton parameters of different lithology are obviously different. The determination of mineral content

CRYSTALLIZATION IN IGNEOUS ROCKS

The Kurume Medical Journal, 1955
In the course of the investigation of concrements formation in human bodies, which come from body fluid, the author has been making efforts to clear whether any similarity exists between the concrements formation and the crystllization of rock forming minerals, which comes from solution, or not.

Relation of Magnetic and Gravity Field Data to Selected Structural Elements of the Central Portion of the Arkoma Basin [PDF]

, 1980
In order to acquire a greater understanding of some of the major basement structural features characteristic of the Arkoma basin, magnetic and gravity data have been collected and analyzed for a selected area.

Determination of Thermal Damage and Failure Time Analysis in Rocks Using Stochastic Models

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a stochastic modeling framework for estimating thermal damage and predicting failure time in fine‐grained Dholpur sandstone subjected to high‐temperature conditions. Unlike conventional approaches that rely on extensive thermally altered physical and mechanical properties, the proposed method utilizes only temperature and ...

Base metal mineralisation associated with Ordovician shales in south-west Scotland [PDF]

, 1984
Several narrow, lenticular belts of black cherty mudstone and siltstone (the Moffat Shales), alternating with thick greywacke sequences, strike north-east to south-west across Galloway with uniformly steep dip.
