Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Machine Learning‐Driven Classification and Production Capacity Prediction of Tight Sandstone Reservoirs: A Case Study of the Taiyuan Formation, Ordos Basin

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
On the basis of core and log data, a Bayesian‐Optimized Random Forest model achieved 92.76% accuracy in classifying tight sandstone reservoirs. A gray relational analysis‐derived evaluation index shows > 80% consistency with actual gas zones. ABSTRACT Tight sandstone gas (TSG), an unconventional oil–gas resource, has heterogeneous reservoirs ...

Global Series and Stages for the Ordovician System: A Progress Report

Geologica Acta, 2005
There is no global standard set of chronostratigraphic/geochronologic subdivisions for the Ordovician System/Period. British series/epochs are often used as de facto nomenclature on stratigraphic correlation charts and geologic time scales. However, they

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Internal framework and geochemistry of the Carboniferous Huaco granite pluton, Sierra de Velasco, NW Argentina [PDF]

, 2018
The A-type Huaco granite pluton of the Velasco range (Sierras Pampeanas of northwest Argentina) is formed by three coeval granitic facies and contains subordinate coeval-to-late facies, as well as enclaves, dikes and stocks that show different temporal ...

Deciphering Freeze–Thaw Dynamics In Rockwalls: A Novel Approach for High Accuracy Regional‐Scale Modeling

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using a large and novel array of instruments on five rockwalls in northern Gaspesia, their respective surface energy balances were calculated and their thermal regimes were measured and modeled to depths exceeding the seasonal frost penetration.

Clay mineralogy, chemistry, and diagenesis of late devonian K-bentonite occurrences in northwestern Turkey [PDF]

, 2015
Thin beds of tephra (K-bentonites) formed by the diagenesis of volcanic ash are exposed within the limestone-dolomitic limestone successions of the Yilanli formation at Zonguldak and Bartin in northwestern Turkey.

New Results From the Pre‐Pottery Neolithic Site of Al Uyaynah, Tabuk, in Northwestern Saudi Arabia

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Al Uyaynah is a low sandstone mound on an alluvial plain, long known for its extensive surface remains of stone‐built circular and rectangular structures. Following test excavations in 2012, more detailed excavation was undertaken in 2016 within one of the largest rectangular stone structures.

Late Ordovician Palynomorphs [PDF]

Journal of Micropalaeontology, 1985
Abstract. ACRITARCHSOrdovician acritarchs have been recorded in five core samples collected between 2520 ft. and 3000 ft. in Well E1-81, and ten cutting samples taken between 12150 ft. and 13240 ft. in Well J1-81A. All the assemblages recovered are of Late Ordovician age; no Early Ordovician or Middle Ordovician assemblages have been identified ...
