First-Principles Determination Of Elastic Properties Of Casio3 Perovskite At Lower Mantle Pressures, Bijaya B. Karki, Jason Crain Jan 1998

First-Principles Determination Of Elastic Properties Of Casio3 Perovskite At Lower Mantle Pressures, Bijaya B. Karki, Jason Crain

Faculty Publications

We investigate the equation of state and elasticity of cubic CaSiO perovskite up to 140 GPa using the plane wave pseudopotential method within the local density approximation. The calculated equation of state parameters of the cubic phase are in excellent agreement with those from recent quasi-hydrostatic compression data and from all-electron linearized augmented plane wave calculations. We determine the elastic constant tensor of the mineral from the calculated stress-strain relations. The bulk modulus of CaSiO perovskite is similar to that of MgSiO perovskite, however, its shear modulus is much higher at pressures corresponding to the lower mantle. This suggests that …

Apatite Fission Track Analysis Of Sites 959 And 960 On The Transform Continental Margin Of Ghana, West Africa, P. D. Clift, A. Carter, A. J. Hurford Jan 1998

Apatite Fission Track Analysis Of Sites 959 And 960 On The Transform Continental Margin Of Ghana, West Africa, P. D. Clift, A. Carter, A. J. Hurford

Faculty Publications

Four samples of sandstone from deformed Aptian-Albian sediments and their less deformed Turonian cover at Sites 959 and 960 on the Cote d'Ivoire-Ghana Marginal Ridge yielded sufficient apatite for fission track analysis. Reduced mean track length values of 12.42 ± 0.16 μm to 13.67 ± 0.11 μm indicate that measured central ages, which range from 88 ± 4 Ma to 113 ± 4 Ma, have undergone partial resetting and are therefore apparent ages. Stochastic modeling of the fission track age and length parameters indicate that the samples have a strong predepositional signal, slightly modified by minor levels of prolonged post-depositional …


Interlaboratory Comparison Of Electron Probe Microanalysis Of Glass Geochemistry, J. B. Hunt, P. D. Clift, C. Lacasse, T. L. Vallier, R. Werner Jan 1998

Interlaboratory Comparison Of Electron Probe Microanalysis Of Glass Geochemistry, J. B. Hunt, P. D. Clift, C. Lacasse, T. L. Vallier, R. Werner

Faculty Publications

Tephrochronology commonly relies upon grain-discrete analysis of glass shards to reveal the subtle geochemical differences between tephras from past explosive volcanic eruptions. The use of electron probe microanalysis for this purpose is widely accepted by tephrochronologists. In addition, it is recognized widely that both precision and accuracy must be maximized, and that rigorous standardization procedures must be followed. In this paper, the performance of five electron microprobe centers used in the analysis of glass sharts from Leg 152 tephras is compared, using a geochemically homogeneous obsidian secondary standard. The results reveal the compatibility of most of the participatnats, supporting the …


Linear Theory Of The Effect Of A Sloping Boundary On Circulation In A Homogeneous Laboratory Model, Ross W. Griffiths, George Veronis Jan 1998

Linear Theory Of The Effect Of A Sloping Boundary On Circulation In A Homogeneous Laboratory Model, Ross W. Griffiths, George Veronis

Journal of Marine Research

Griffiths and Veronis (1997) reported observations of the effect of a sloping boundary on the circulation in a sliced-cylinder model of wind-driven circulation in which the flow is driven by the relative rotation of the top lid. A summary of observations for the nearly linear case is given here along with the linear analysis based on the theory of a rotating homogeneous fluid. Good agreement between the two is obtained, and the (straightforward) physics of the system is described.


Transports Of The Brazil And Malvinas Currents At Their Confluence, K. Maamaatuaiahutapu, V. Garçon, C. Provost, H. Mercier Jan 1998

Transports Of The Brazil And Malvinas Currents At Their Confluence, K. Maamaatuaiahutapu, V. Garçon, C. Provost, H. Mercier

Journal of Marine Research

Geostrophic transports of the western boundary currents at the Brazil/Malvinas Confluence in the South Atlantic Ocean are estimated from the data set of the Confluence 3 cruise (February 1990) with a nonlinear inverse model which takes into consideration density, current meter and wind data, and dynamical (planetary vorticity, Ekman, mass conservation) constraints. Inversions are carried out with two initial different levels of no motion at 1500 m (Case A) and at 3000 m (Case B). Consistencies of the water volume transports provided by both inversions are analyzed and compared to previous estimates. Current meter constraints are applied in the Malvinas …


Assessing Organic Matter Mineralization, Degradability And Mixing Rate In An Ocean Margin Sediment (Northeast Atlantic) By Diagenetic Modeling, Karline Soetaert, Peter M. J. Herman, Jack J. Middelburg, Carlo Heip Jan 1998

Assessing Organic Matter Mineralization, Degradability And Mixing Rate In An Ocean Margin Sediment (Northeast Atlantic) By Diagenetic Modeling, Karline Soetaert, Peter M. J. Herman, Jack J. Middelburg, Carlo Heip

Journal of Marine Research

We test whether organic matter degradability, mixing activity, and total sediment mineralization can be estimated by inversion of a coupled nonlinear numerical steady-state diagenetic model. We use a single data set comprising oxygen, nitrate, ammonium and organic carbon versus depth profiles from a slope station in the Goban Spur area (1034 m, Northeast Atlantic). Based on an extensive sensitivity analysis, it appears that (1) when using all data, the total mineralization rates can be determined with reasonable precision; bioturbation and degradability are less well constrained and (2) total mineralization rates can be determined based on nitrate and oxygen profiles only; …


Comments On ‘‘The Non-Wavelike Response Of A Continental Shelf To Wind’’ By G. T. Csanady, K. H. Brink, J. S. Allen Jan 1998

Comments On ‘‘The Non-Wavelike Response Of A Continental Shelf To Wind’’ By G. T. Csanady, K. H. Brink, J. S. Allen

Journal of Marine Research

Csanady (1998) presents solutions for time-dependent wind-driven flow in a barotropic coastal ocean. We disagree with two of his three boundary condition options and wish to clarify the origin of the non-wavelike aspect of the flow.


The Effect Of Biogenic Irrigation Intensity And Solute Exchange On Diagenetic Reaction Rates In Marine Sediments, Robert C. Aller, Josephine Y. Aller Jan 1998

The Effect Of Biogenic Irrigation Intensity And Solute Exchange On Diagenetic Reaction Rates In Marine Sediments, Robert C. Aller, Josephine Y. Aller

Journal of Marine Research

The activities of infaunal macrobenthos strongly influence the pathways, rates, and extent of organic matter remineralization and associated reactions in marine sediments. Solute transport during irrigation is a particularly important process that stimulates microbial activity and net remineralization, both within and adjacent to the bioturbated zone. Part of the stimulation proximal to the bioturbated zone is due to redox oscillation and oxidant supply during transport, but part of both the near and far-field effects are a result of other factors. Experiments designed to simulate different degrees of diffusive exchange, and thus infaunal abundances or activity, demonstrate a regular and strong …

Examining The Association Between Personal And Cultural Values And Cross-National Customer Satisfaction, Adel A. Al-Weqaiyan Jan 1998

Examining The Association Between Personal And Cultural Values And Cross-National Customer Satisfaction, Adel A. Al-Weqaiyan

Open Access Dissertations

Although most marketing scholars agree that customer satisfaction is a critical determinant of post purchase attitude and product choice, research has remained largely confined to the US and few Western European countries. Given the increasing size of markets in developing countries, and that customer satisfaction is at the heart of all marketing activities, international marketers should have a deeper understanding of the determinants of satisfaction responses of the international customer.

A review of present satisfaction literature reveals the domination of the expectation-disconfirmation paradigm. Proponents of this paradigm suggest that satisfaction following a product experience depends on the magnitude and direction …


Dreaming In Black And White: Racial-Sexual Policing In The Birth Of A Nation, The Cheat, And Who Killed Vincent Chin?, Robert S. Chang Jan 1998

Dreaming In Black And White: Racial-Sexual Policing In The Birth Of A Nation, The Cheat, And Who Killed Vincent Chin?, Robert S. Chang

Faculty Articles

Professor Chang observes that Asians are often perceived as interlopers in the nativistic American "family." This conception of a nativist "family" is White in composition and therefore accords a sense of economic and sexual entitlement to Whites, ironically, even if particular beneficiaries are recent immigrants. Transgressions by those perceived to be "illegitimate," such as Asians and Blacks, are policed either by rule of law or the force of sanctioned vigilante violence. Chang illustrates his thesis by drawing upon the three films referenced.
