Geochemical insights into the role of metasomatic hornblendite in generating alkali basalts
Experimental petrology suggested the role of hornblendite in generating alkali basalt. This mechanism is confirmed by an integrated study of major‐trace elements and radiogenic isotopes for Mesozoic alkali basalts from the Qinling orogen in China.

Geoelectric heterogeneities of the Kerch iron ore basin
The three-dimensional geoelectric model of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle of the Kerch Peninsula has been built for the first time based on the results of experimental observations of the Earth’s low-frequency electromagnetic field, carried out in ...

Three‐dimensional flow in the subslab mantle
Three‐dimensional models of mantle flow at subduction zones make it possible to explain the common occurrence of trench‐parallel subslab seismic anisotropy.

The Anelasticity of the Mantle* [PDF]
The attenuation of seismic waves provides the most direct data regarding the non-elastic properties of the Earth. Recent experimental results from body waves, surface waves and free oscillations provide estimates of the anelasticity in various regions of the Earth.

The proteins derived from the foliated shell layer of the oyster, Crassostrea virginica, are unusually acidic and highly phosphorylated. Here we report the identification of a gene encoding a member of this class of phosphoproteins that we collectively ...

Mantle plumes and mantle dynamics in the Wilson cycle [PDF]
Abstract This review discusses the thermal evolution of the mantle following large-scale tectonic activities such as continental collision and continental rifting. About 300 myr ago, continental material amalgamated through the large-scale subduction of oceanic seafloor, marking the termination of one or more oceanic basins (e.g.

Light-sensitivity is important for mollusc survival, as it plays a vital role in reproduction and predator avoidance. Light-sensitivity has been demonstrated in the adult Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, but the genes associated with light-sensitivity ...
