Добрый день, Коллеги. Важное сообщение, просьба принять участие. Музей Ферсмана ищет помощь для реставрационных работ в помещении. Подробности по ссылке
In 1988, at the request of members of the Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Exploration (SME), Inc., the President of SME formed Working Party #79, Ore Reserve Definition, with the mission to develop guidelines for the public reporting of exploration information, resources, and reserves. A Subcommittee was appointed by the Working Party to draft these guidelines and submit recommendations to SME. The Subcommittee’s recommendations were published by SME in the April 1991 issue of “Mining Engineering”, and as a document entitled “A Guide for Reporting Exploration Information, Resources, and Reserves” in January 1992. Work continued on an ad-hoc basis until 1996, when Working Party #79 was renamed the SME Committee on Resources and Reserves and became a standing committee. <...>
Foraminifera have an evolutionary history that extends back to the Cambrian, more than 525 million years ago. Since then, they have radiated and evolved. To date, approximately 60,000 fossil and modern species have been validly recognized (LANGER, 2011), and an estimated 10,000 species (including only 40-50 planktonic species) are still living (VICKERMAN, 1992), constituting the most diverse group of shelled microorganisms in modern oceans (SEN GUPTA, 1999). These small-sized organisms, usually 0.1 to 1 mm, may be very abundant, and tens of thousands living specimens per square meter may be found in some environments (WETMORE, 1995). Their mineralized tests (shells) usually get preserved in the sediment after the death of the organism and may constitute a major, sometimes the dominant, part of many modern or fossil sediments (fig. 1). They are easy to collect, and their high-density populations provide an adequate statistical base, even in small volume samples, to perform environmental analyses, making them a powerful tool for environmental assessment. <...>
The Earth is approximately spherical, with a mean radius R = 6370km, a very small flattening (+7/ − 15km), mass 6 × 1024kg, and an average density 5.5g/cm3; the law of gravitational attraction is F = GmMr/r3, where F is the force directed along the separation distance r between two point bodies with mass m and M; and G = 6.67 × 10−8cm3/g · s2 is the gravitation constant.
Oui choice of title for this book deliberately echoes Dseison’s A Hillary ofBritiih Earthquake!, which was published by the Cambridge University Press early in the 1920s. This was one of the first in recent tiroes to make a systematic study of seismic activity in a particular country, which we have tried to emulate for Iran. By calling our study a history we wish also to emphasise the importance оf time in the unfolding of geologic processes, and of investigating the past when attempting to under-&tand the present.
The concept of reciprocal space is over 100 years old and has been of particular use for crystallographers to understand the patterns of spots seen on a detector when x-rays are diffracted by crystals. However, it has a much more general use, especially in the physics of the solid state. In order to understand what it is, how to construct it, and how to make use of it, it is first necessary to start with the so-called real or direct space and then show how reciprocal space is related to it. Direct space describes the objects we see around us, especially regarding crystals, their physical shapes and symmetries, and the arrangements of atoms within: the so-called crystal structure. eciprocal space, on the other hand, deals with the crystals as seen through their diffraction images. Indeed, crystallographers are accustomed to working backward from the diffraction images to the crystal structures, which we call crystal-structure solution. In solid-state physics, one usually works the other way, starting with reciprocal space to explain various solid-state properties, such as thermal and electrical phenomena. <...>
Our primary interest is to consider three-dimensional flow in porous media, including fissured and layered media. We propose to provide for extraction or injection of fluids via points th at are complicated in geometry for a variety of conditions on the boundaries of the porous solid. Here, we preview our notation and address a few basic issues for ease of understanding.
The POND Excel® spreadsheet allows determination and presentation of the attitudes of planes intersected in ‘oriented’ and ‘navigated’ diamond drillcore. Two drillcore navigation measurements (azimuth and plunge from a deviation log), and two plane-to-drillcore angular measurements (angle to core axis, and angle between orientation mark and intersection ellipse) are required to obtain a solution.
