Two datasets are used, one provided by Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, with 17 different minerals, and another built from scratch in the geology department of Federal University of Pelotas, containing 4 different minerals. The datasets are composed of mineral images captured under cross and plane ...

For a while after going fulltime I continued with the art shows, which were both lucrative and fun, but doing art shows and workshops felt like working two different jobs, and the path to a fulltime income with workshops was much clearer, so I dropped the art shows. On the other hand,...
Walking on the trail at Raven Run provided a sighting of moss growing on stone walls.Moss grows on stone wallsin damp, dark areas with favorable moisture, shade, and acidic pH conditions.Moss can break down the minerals in stone over time, weakening its structure. Moss Growth on Stone Wall...
Firstly,through necessary reflectivity conversion,noise filtering and selection of end- members in the original image,the authors systematically analyzed the diagnostic absorption features of three typical types of altered minerals closely related to uranium mineralization( i. e.,illitization,chloritization...
The white chalk-like soil attract elephants and antelope alike who seek the minerals provided by this soil and so doing exhibit behaviour called geophagy. Elephants engage in a form of geophagy to acquire essential minerals. These large mammals rely on the minerals from the soil as much as they...
Why do minerals have geometric shapes? What is the effects of the spot size on the image quality? Why does H_{2}O have a smaller bond angle than H_{3}O^{+}? Why do surface bursts have larger fallouts than airbursts? Why are tetrahedral complexes always high s...
“There’s been many instances where my images have been used by another person to scam people out of money and then it’s, ‘Well, Kat Marie is a scammer,’ when they’re not even talking to me at all.” Kat Marie works as an adult baby caregiver for people who want to ...
The MultiMin model was utilized to calculate mineral composition approximately every 15 cm in terms of clay minerals (kaolinite, illite, smectite, and chlorites), other (alumino) silicates (quartz, potassic feldspars, plagioclase - this group of minerals will be referred to as silicates for the...
Rocks that Form on the Earth's Surface - part 24 of 29. Designed to help students investigate sedimentary rocks - to discover where they come from, what they are made of, and how they are formed. Explores some of the ways in which sediments are produced, ...
