A seismological study of the mantle beneath Iceland [PDF]
Iceland has long been thought to be underlain by a thermal upwelling, or plume, rising from deep within the mantle. This study tests this hypothesis, by a) seeking evidence for a plume in the lower mantle in azimuth anomalies at the NORSAR array and b ...

Compositional trends of Icelandic basalts: Implications for short–length scale lithological heterogeneity in mantle plumes [PDF]
Lithological variations in the mantle source regions under mid-ocean ridges and ocean islands have been proposed to play a key role in controlling melt generation and basalt composition.

A talus rock glacier in Nantlle Valley, North Wales
ABSTRACT Landforms comprising mixtures of fine and coarse sediment and deposited during late glacial times are ubiquitous in the British mountains. In many cases, their interpretation has often proved contentious; as a result, the non‐generic term discrete debris accumulations (DDA) has been used to describe them and, over the last 50 years, some have ...

On Convection in the Upper Mantle [PDF]
Summary Present estimates of viscosity and other pertinent parameters make it unlikely that thermal convection exists in the lower mantle. Convection may be considered from the point of view of an instability process for the upper mantle but the probable non-Newtonian nature of viscosity in the upper mantle makes this problem difficult to solve.

Abstract The United Kingdom's shallow aquifers offer significant but underdeveloped geothermal energy resource. Seismic methods can help address this by improving the understanding of aquifer heterogeneity and potentially allowing long‐term monitoring of thermal plumes.

Energy balance of the Earth’s tectonosphere
Concentration of K, U and Th has been investigated in the rocks of the Earth’s crust and upper mantle of platforms, geosynclines and oceans. The coinsidence has been found between total modern heat emanation in the crust and upper mantle of three types ...

The tectonic evolution of mantle rocks from the lizardophiolite complex, South-West England [PDF]
In SW England, a highly deformed and metamorphosed assemblage of ultramafic, mafic and granitic rocks is interpreted to represent a fragment of upper mantle and lower oceanic crust: the Lizard Ophiolite Complex.

Bortezomib‐based chemotherapy achieved an 88.9% remission rate in Chinese pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory B‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, enabling 62.5% of responders to bridge to transplantation, while T‐cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia showed no response.

Rotating‐bending fatigue tests on AISI D2 and AISI A11 quantify how cleanliness, carbide structure, hardness, and fabrication‐induced compressive residual stresses govern long‐life fatigue at NG = 107 cycles. Statistical fracture‐surface analysis and extreme‐value √area statistics link crack‐initiators to LLF strength.

Three poly(caprolactone) (PCL)‐based additives of differing molecular weights were used as a secondary plasticizer to prevent gas checks in PVC films produced through calendering. Results showed that chemical and physicochemical properties influence the prevention or reduction of gas checks, unlike rheological properties including complex viscosity and
