Abstract Magmatic systems play a crucial role in enriching the crust with volatiles and elements that reside primarily within Earth’s mantle, including economically important metals like nickel, copper platinum-group elements. However, transport of these silicate magmas occurs dense sulfide liquids, which tend to coalesce, settle not be efficiently transported ascending magmas. Here we show textural observations, backed up carbon oxygen isotope data, indicate an intimate association between...
Few data are available about cardiac involvement in AIDS. We examined 102 consecutive patients with AIDS diagnosed clinically and serologically (Walter Reed Stage 5 6), by means of TM cross-sectional echocardiography the aim detecting abnormalities. None had overt clinical signs heart failure. Fifty-five (54%) showed persistent tachycardia, diminished left ventricular (LV) wall thickness (mean 7.6 +/- 0.2 mm) decreased percentage LV fractional shortening (27 5). In 42 (41%) there was a...
We compare three poorly known, historical Ni–Co-bearing hydrothermal deposits in different geological settings Italy: The Ni–Co–As–Sb–Au-bearing Arburese vein system (SW Sardinia), the Co–Ni–As-rich Usseglio (Piedmont), and small Cu–Ag–Co–Ni–Pb–Te–Se stockwork at Piazza (Liguria). These share various (mineralogical, chemical, thermal, stable isotopic) similarities to Five Element Vein-type ores but only first two were economic for Co–Ni. Sardinian Ni-rich veins occur Paleozoic basement near...
Abstract Seven major and numerous lesser Fe oxide occurrences within the 1.47 Ga St. Francois Mountains terrane in Missouri (USA) have previously been described as iron oxide-apatite (IOA) oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) deposits. Researchers speculate that these contain significant amounts of critical minerals, most notably rare earth elements cobalt. One less-studied deposits region is 1.455 Kratz Spring deposit. The deposit consists two steeply dipping magnetite bodies beneath 450 m sedimentary...
The remarkable progress achieved in control of infections burned patients has significantly increased survival rates. Nevertheless, septic complications are still the leading cause death these patients. immunologic disturbances present after severe burns certainly play a key role susceptibility to infection, and particular impairments phagocytie system warrant major investigative efforts order increase host defenses. Determination phagocytic microbicidal capacity neutrophils from evidenced...
Abstract The lower crustal domain of the Ivrea‐Verbano Zone (NW Italy) hosts five ~300‐m‐wide pipe‐like ultramafic intrusions that are metasomatized and exhibit Ni‐Cu‐PGE sulphide mineralization. To better constrain role metasomatism in ore genesis, we studied best‐preserved pipe at Valmaggia which was emplaced 249 Myrs ago. Phlogopite 40 Ar/ 39 Ar analyses show infiltrated by metasomatic fluids derived from subcontinental lithospheric mantle (SCLM) two pulses ~208 Ma ~189 introduced...
The Southeast Missouri Iron Metallogenic Province in the Midcontinent USA contains seven major and several minor IOA/IOCG-type deposits a series of shallow vein-type deposits/prospects, all which are spatially temporally associated with early Mesoproterozoic (1500–1440 Ma) magmatism St. Francois Mountains terrane. One is Shepherd Mountain deposit, consists two northeast-trending ore veins dominated by magnetite lesser amounts hematite. Here we report findings study that investigates origin...
Abstract Southwestern Sardinia, Italy, hosts several skarn, W–Sn–Mo greisen and hydrothermal deposits related to a 289±1 Ma Late Variscan granite suite. Among them, the most representative scheelite-bearing skarns belong San Pietro Sinibidraxiu localities, in Monte Tamara area, Sulcis region. The deposit is typical calc-silicate skarn whereas sharply bounded orebody hosted marble unit. Optical petrographic observations compositional data of major trace elements were obtained for samples from...
