Thermodynamic properties of Mg_2SiO_4 liquid at ultra-high pressures from shock measurements to 200 GPa on forsterite and wadsleyite [PDF]
, 2007 Polycrystalline samples of Mg_2SiO_4 forsterite and wadsleyite were synthesized and then dynamically loaded to pressures of 39–200 GPa. Differences in initial density and internal energy between these two phases lead to distinct Hugoniots, each ...

, 2017 The energy balance of a partially molten rocky planet can be expressed as a non-linear diffusion equation using mixing length theory to quantify heat transport by both convection and mixing of the melt and solid phases.

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.Abstract Several authors have reported the disconnection between the skills, abilities, and attitudes of graduates from STEM careers with the current needs of the labour market. In science and engineering fields, research has found the need for interdisciplinary approaches that encourage meaningful learning.

Multiple Slabs and Complex Mantle Flows in the Molucca Sea Subduction Zone
Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeosystemsThe Molucca Sea subduction zone is unique for its active divergent double‐subducted slab located in the north of the Java and Banda subduction zones. The spatial proximity of these subduction zones would cause a complex mantle flow field.

Joint modeling of lithosphere and mantle dynamics elucidating lithosphere‐mantle coupling [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2008 We provide new insights into the lithosphere‐mantle coupling problem through a joint modeling of lithosphere dynamics and mantle convection and through comparison of model results with the high resolution velocity gradient tensor model along the Earth's plate boundary zones.

Ab initio studies of structural instabilities in magnesium silicate perovskite
, 1995 Density-functional simulations are used to calculate structural properties and high-symmetry phonons of the hypothetical cubic phase, the stable orthorhombic phase and an intermediate tetragonal phase of magnesium silicate perovskite.

Pharmacokinetic Drug–Drug Interaction Potential of Oral Anticancer Drugs
Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Drug–drug interaction (DDI) management is critical for safe and effective use of oral anticancer drugs (OADs). Our study objectives were to (i) compile clinically relevant pharmacokinetic (PK) DDI mechanisms for OADs and (ii) assess the prevalence of PK potential DDIs (PDDIs) in patients with advanced solid cancers.

On the impact of true polar wander on heat flux patterns at the core–mantle boundary [PDF]
Solid EarthThe heat flux across the core–mantle boundary (CMB) is a fundamental variable for Earth evolution and internal dynamics. Seismic tomography provides access to seismic heterogeneities in the lower mantle, which can be related to present-day thermal ...

Dynamical geochemistry of the mantle [PDF]
Solid Earth, 2011 Abstract. The reconciliation of mantle chemistry with the structure of the mantle inferred from geophysics and dynamical modelling has been a long-standing problem. This paper reviews three main aspects. First, extensions and refinements of dynamical modelling and theory of mantle processing over the past decade. Second, a recent reconsideration of the

The MgSiO_3 system at high pressure: Thermodynamic properties of perovskite, postperovskite, and melt from global inversion of shock and static compression data [PDF]
, 2009 We present new equation-of-state (EoS) data acquired by shock loading to pressures up to 245 GPa on both low-density samples (MgSiO_3 glass) and high-density, polycrystalline aggregates (MgSiO_3 perovskite + majorite). The latter samples were synthesized
