The refinement of the crystal structure of carboborite MgCa2[CO3]2[B(OH)4]2 • 4H2O
Authors: Ma Zhesheng , Shi Nicheng , Shen Jinchuan , Peng Zhizhong
Published: November 2019

La carboborite, découverte en Chine, est un nouveau composé multiple dérivé du sel contenant principalement du carbonate et du borate, ainsi que de l'eau. Son groupe spatial est P2₁/n, avec des paramètres réticulaires : a = 11.011 Å, b = 6.674 Å, c = 10.692 Å, ß = 116.64°. La structure a été affinée jusqu'à une valeur de R de 0.043 pour 1964 réflexions indépendantes avec F₀ ⩾ 3σ|F₀| obtenues pour la radiation de MoKα. Le modèle de la structure exacte fut obtenu par la méthode de Patterson. Dans la structure, l'atome Mg occupe un site octaédrique ; l'octaèdre MgO₆ lié aux entités [B(OH)₄] et [CO₃] forme une unité structurale de base. L'atome de calcium est octacoordiné. Les lamelles de la structure sont reliées les unes aux autres par une liaison hydrogène. Selon la structure du cristal, ses propriétés optique et physique peuvent être très bien expliquées.
Variations in the thermoluminescence properties of quartz associated with migrating uranium deposits
Authors: Renault Jacques
Published: November 2019

Le quartz peut agir comme paléo-dosimètre dans l'environnement géologique. Dans cette fonction, il suit le parcours de l'uranium et peut indiquer les dépôts intéressants. Parmi les minéraux communs, le quartz est particulièrement utile parce qu'il est abondant, stable, plus homogène de composition que tout autre minéral commun, et ses caractéristiques de thermoluminescence (TL) sont assez uniformes. Les caractéristiques qui règlent son utilisation pour les études de la migration des dépôts de l'uranium sont traitées sous quatre rubriques : 1) la variabilité intrinsèque, 2) la variabilité qui tient à l'environnement géologique, 3) la variabilité qui tient à la manipulation des échantillons, et 4) la variabilité qui tient aux procédures analytiques. La variabilité intrinsèque est assez faible. Le quartz n'appartient pas à une série de solutions solides importantes, et les impuretés sont, en général, de faibles concentrations. La variabilité qui tient à l'environnement géologique peut être forte ; les termes les plus importants sont la radiation et la température. Les agents les plus importants dans la manipulation des échantillons et dans l'analyse sont la contamination du quartz séparé et l'adsorption de l'oxygène. Ces variabilités peuvent être les plus fortes de toutes ; heureusement, il est assez facile de les éviter ou de les corriger. Les variabilités qui tiennent à l'environnement géologique sont suffisamment uniformes dans les roches de la même provenance pour que les anomalies de concentration de radio-éléments soient bien évidentes.
Le zircon, minéral commun significatif des roches endogènes et exogènes
Authors: Pupin Jean-Pierre , Turco Guy
Published: November 2019

The method applied in the typologic study of zircon populations constitutes a useful means of solving petrologic and comparative petrologic problems. The typological characteristics are essentially controlled by the chemistry (Aluminium/alkalines ratio) and the temperature of the medium of crystallization. The magma water contents, especially the granitic ones, control the zircon crystallization period, thus indirectly, their typology. Other morphological characters of the crystals enhances the typologic method. The main applications of the method include the genesis of acid magmas (granites, rhyolites), origin of detrital particles in sediments, origin of material in epi and mesozonal non migmatitic metamorphic rocks of ortho or para origin.
Neoformed supergene sphalerite and possible precipitation control by gahnite
Authors: de Waal Sybrand A.
Published: November 2019

Deux types de sphalérite d'origine supergène ont été observés dans la zone d'altération supergène d'un gisement sulfuré : l'une altérée et présentant une faible teneur en fer a été formée à partir d'une sphalérite primaire riche en fer ; l'autre est néoformée et remplace la chalcopyrite. Puisque la néoformation de sphalérite supergène est un phénomène peu rencontré, les conditions dans lesquelles une telle néoformation peut s'effectuer, ont été étudiées. Le champ de stabilité de la sphalérite dans le diagramme Eh-pH a été déterminé. Il est donc montré, que c'est la dissolution rapide de gahnite, qui en augmentant l'activité d'ions de zinc dans les solutions météoriques pénétrantes, a permis la stabilisation de sphalérite dans la zone supergène.

Authors: Sugaki Asahiko , Kitakaze Arashi , Odashima Yoshitsugu
Published: November 2019

Furutobeite, (Cu, Ag)₆PbS₄ is a new sulfide species discovered at the Furutobe mine, Akita Prefecture, Japan. It occurs only as minute (< 0.3 mm) grains intimately associated with stromeyerite, galena, sphalerite and tennantite in bornite from upper part of the stratabound sulfide ore zone consisting of sphalerite, galena and barite (Kuroko ore) in Daikokuzawa-Higashi deposit. The mineral is gray with a creamy yellowish tint in reflected light, has weak bireflectance and moderate anisotropism with colors changing from light yellow to dark brown. Optical reflectance in air is 32.0-34.6 % at 480 nm, 32.8-34.9 % at 546 nm, 33.2-35.2 % at 589 nm, and 33.6-34.6 % at 657 nm. Micro-indentation hardness (VHN) is 100-108 kg/mm². The empirical formula for furutobeite obtained from seven microprobe analyses is Cu₄.₈₈ Ag₁.₁₂ Pb₀.₉₉ S₄.₀₂ or (Cu₄.₈₈, Ag₁.₁₂)₆.₀₀ Pb₀.₉₉ S₄.₀₂ which is very close to the proposed formula, (Cu, Ag)₆ PbS₄. The crystallographic parameters of furutobeite at 25 °C are : monoclinic, a = 20.055(13) Å, b = 3.964(2) Å, c = 9.705(4) Å, ß = 101.57(4)°, V = 756.0(6) Å³. Permissible space groups are Cm, C2 or C2/m. The strongest lines in the X-ray powder pattern are 2.95(9) (112), 2.78(3) ([-5]11), 2.61(5) (312), 2.55(7) ([-5]12, [-6]03), 2.50(10) (113), 2.46(3) (403, 800), 2.14(4) (711, [-6]04), 2.06(3) ([-1]14), 1.738(3) ([-3]15). The calculated density is 6.74 g/cm³ with Z = 4. Furutobeite decomposes to a mixture of galena and hexagonal closest packed phase Cu₅AgS₃ at 100° ± 2 °C and above.
Research in optical and thermal˗optical properties of alkaline amphibole asbestos
Authors: Chou Shun-Ruo , Chang Jian-Hong , Chen Shen-Ping
Published: November 2019

This paper deals with the researches of the main species of Chinese asbestos — winchite asbestos, calcium-magnesioriebeckite asbestos, and magnesioriebckite asbestos. Examination of them by various methods — crystallo-optical, thermo-optical, chemical and crystallochemical, X-ray, weight loss, infra-red absorption and statistics has given some principal results as follows :

1. Whether the various asbestos studied exhibit the purple-blue pleochroism and abnormal interference or not depends not only on the absorption of light of different wave lengths and extinction angles, but also on the content of Na.

2. The relation between Ng and the iron content of the magnesioriebeckite asbestos can be represented by the linear equation Fe/(Fe + Mg)(Mol%) = — 1 172.26 + 729.85 Ng. The effect of Fe₂O₃ on RI is greater than that of FeO and their regression formulas are given as :

Ng = 1.30 × 10⁻³ × FeO + 3.21 × 10⁻³ × Fe₂O₃ + 1.611 5,

Np = 1.46 × 10⁻³ × FeO + 3.27 × 10⁻³ × Fe₂O₃ + 1.599 9.

3. According to the changes in thermal-optical properties, the magnesioriebckite asbestos may be further subdivided into three stages, namely, magnesioriebeckite (< 550 °C), oxy-magnesioriebeckite (550-900 °C) and another mineral (> 900 °C). The critical point of optical property changes is found to be at about 550 °C.
Petrologie und Feldspatuntersuchungen im Menderes-Massiv/Westanatolien
Authors: Dora O. Özcan
Published: November 2019

On a divisé le massif de Menderes, Anatolie occidentale, en sous-massifs le long de grabens échelonnés d'est en ouest. Toutes les zones de métamorphisme, faible, intermédiaire et fort, existent dans ces sous-massifs. Le métamorphisme varie du sud au nord du type barrovien à un métamorphisme intermédiaire entre les types barrovien et Abukuma.

Le coeur du massif se compose de migmatite et de gneiss œillés. Les feldspaths potassiques des gneiss sont des orthoclases ou des microclines intermédiaires. Leur position dans un diagramme γ/b montre qu'ils proviennent d'une population d'orthoclases dont la transformation structurale monoclinique˗triclinique n'est pas achevée. Le rapport Al/(Na + K) dans la roche totale varie en raison inverse de l'avancement du processus de mise en ordre.

Les déterminations radiométriques d'âge et les relations stratigraphiques indiquent que le premier métamorphisme du cœur du massif de Menderes date d'environ 500 M. a. Mais l'enveloppe, formée de schistes et de marbres, a été métamorphisée à la fin du crétacé supérieur. La pétrologie et l'étude des feldspaths indiquent la présence d'un troisième métamorphisme rétrograde qui est probablement dû à des intrusions granodioritiques, et qui a pris place au début du miocène moyen. Une datation radiométrique de biotite à 18-22 M. a. confirme ce résultat.
The compositions of supercritical metamorphic solutions
Authors: Eugster Hans Peter , Gunter William D.
Published: November 2019

Les assemblages minéraux peuvent être utilisés pour estimer les domaines de compositions des solutions métamorphiques supercritiques. Les teneurs en éléments majeurs SiO₂, Na, K, Ca, Mg et Fe dans des solutions OH — Cl sont obtenues à partir des données sur la solubilité du quartz, des assemblages quartz + albite + paragonite, feldspath potassique + muscovite + quartz, wollastonite + quartz, talc + quartz + magnétite. Sans prendre en compte les effets de solution solide, la séquence d'abondance relative en SiO₂ > Na > K > Ca > Fe > Mg. Pour des molalités en chlorures élevées, les positions de K et Ca sont inversées et l'importance de la silice est diminuée. Le partage entre solides et fluides a été évalué pour les solutions solides de feldspaths alcalins, plagioclases et biotites. Les fluides en équilibre avec des feldspaths potassiques sont très enrichis en Na avec Na > K pour des feldspaths atteignant Or 95. De la même façon pour les plagioclases, le fluide est enrichi en Na avec Na > Ca pour un plagioclase atteignant An 95 et plus. Les biotites jouent un rôle sur le partage Fe — Mg avec Fe > Mg pour des biotites ayant un contenu en phlogopite supérieur à 90. Ces effets de partage peuvent changer la séquence d'abondance en SiO₂ > Na > Fe > K > Ca > Mg, selon la nature des solides présents.
Geothermometry of Karnataka charnockites
Authors: Mahabaleswar Bhogisetti , Naganna Channappa
Published: November 2019

Charnockite is a wide spread orthopyroxene-bearing quartzo-felspathic rock in the Precambrian of Southern Karnataka. In this paper chemical compositions of co-existing phases namely, orthopyroxene-clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene-hornblende and clinopyroxene-hornblende of the charnockites of Sivasamudram area have been used to know whether the charnockites of the area have attained chemical equilibrium during recrystallisation and to estimate temperature conditions of crystallisation of the phases. A comparative study is also made regarding the P-T estimates determined for charnockites occurring in different parts of India.
Crystal energies and coordination of ions in partially occupied sites : dehydrated mazzite
Authors: Alberti Alberto , Vezzalini Giovanna
Published: November 2019

Calculations of crystal energies indicate that in mazzite dehydrated at 600 °C the structure is more stable when the water molecule W(2) occupies a site located at a coordination distance from Mg rather than when it is statistically distributed over the two possible sites. The increase of energy due to the Mg-W(2) coordination (12 kcal.mole⁻¹) is considerable although repulsion between Mg and the hydrogens gives the water molecule a less stable orientation. The Si-Al distribution in the tetrahedra of the 6-membered rings determines the orientation of the water molecules.

Évolution diagénétique des oxydes de fer, chrome et titane
Authors: Coipel Jacques , Dimanche François
Published: November 2019

Magnetites, chromites and ilmenites are common minerals in most detrital rocks. It is easy to concentrate them for polished sections which shall give precious paleoenvironmental indications.

When oxidizing, magnetites are transformed to martite as well as ilmenites and chromites to their specific oxide (anatase or eskolaïte) plus haematite.

When reducing, iron is solubilized and chromite produces characteristic zonal textures. Titanium oxides follow a slow evolution to rutile ; however, the first exsolution textures remain more or less preserved.

When sulfur is present, the oxides are encrusted by sulfides e.g. pyrite or even bornite or sphalerite depending on the copper or zinc activities inside diagenetic brines.
La magniotriplite ferrifère du massif des Albères (Pyrénées-Orientales, France). Une nouvelle variété
Authors: Fontan François
Published: November 2019

The study of magniotriplite discovered in Albères Mountain (Eastern Pyrénées France) permitted the definition of the following characteristics, of this very rare pegmatite fluophosphate (3 rd. occurrence in the world). Monoclinic, space group I2/a ; a = 12.035, b = 6.432, c = 9.799 Å ; β = 108°12 ; Z = 8 defined by the structure study (Tadini, 1980).

X-ray diffraction diagrams of magniotriplite and wagnerite are fairly close but comparison with triplite shows some difference. Weak pleochroïsm, X and Y colourless, Z very pale yellow, np = 1.648, nm = 1.653, ng = 1.644 , biaxial (+), 2V moderate, r < v ; dmes 3.59, dx 3.68. The chemical analysis gives : CaO = 0.05 ; MgO = 18.00 ; FeO = 31.68 ; MnO = 8.25 ; TiO₂ = 0.30 ; P₂O₅ = 36.03 ; F = 6,.50 ; H₂O⁺ = 1.40 ; total = 102.21 ; O = F = 2.74 ; total 99.47 %.

Differential thermal analyses carried out in normal atmosphere and in nitrogen are almost similar. Losses of weight during heating are about 3 %. At 1 000 °C, magniotriplite is transformed in hematite, magnetite and Mg₃(PO₄)₂.

Due to its high Fe content this mineral is a new variety located half-way between Mg (magniotriplite) and Fe (zwieselite) end-members.
Magniotriplite : its crystal structure and relation to the triplite˗triploidite group
Authors: Tadini Carla
Published: November 2019

The unit cell parameters of magniotriplite (Mg, Fe)₂ (PO₄)(F, OH), from Albères (Pyrénées, France), are : a = 12.035(5), b = 6.432(4), c = 9.799(2) Å, β = 108.12°(2) ; Z = 8.

The crystal structure can be derived from that of the members of triplite-triploidite group : magniotriplite and triplite are isotypic. The least-squares refinement, carried out in both space-groups I2/a and Ia, reduced the conventional R factor to 0.033 for centric and 0.034 for acentric space group. (F, OH) atoms have a disordered distribution on the sites of the space group I2/a and ordered arrangement in the sites of the space group Ia.
Replaying the Past
Authors: White Emily Kidd
Published: November 2019

Legal reasoning in the common law tradition requires judges to draw on concepts, and examples that are meant to resonate with a particular emotional import and operate in judicial reasoning as though they do. Judicial applications of constitutional rights are regularly interpreted by reference to past violations (either through precedent, contextual framings, and/or legislative history), which in turn elicit a series of emotions which work to deepen and intensify judicial understandings of a right guarantee (freedom of association, freedom of expression, equality, security of the person, etc.). This paper examines the way in which invocations of past political histories, and rights abuses (however ill or well-defined), work to conjure up a set of service emotions (emotions which work to establish a particular frame of mind), which guide judicial applications of doctrine in cases concerning an alleged violation of a constitutional right.

Sticks, stones, and stress: PTSD symptoms and pain catastrophizing mediate the association between peer victimization and poor physical health
Authors: Knack Jennifer , Towns Benjamin

Abstract
Introduction: Being bullied, also known as peer victimization, is a significant social stressor robustly associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms, pain catastrophizing, and poor physical health. Although much of the research on this topic has been correlational, longitudinal studies have found that being bullied predicts the development of physical health and mental health symptoms in children and college students. However, the interrelationships (mediation) between PTSD, pain catastrophizing, and physical health as they relate to peer victimization is unclear. In the current study we sought to better establish a pathway among peer victimization, PTSD symptoms, pain catastrophizing, and physical health symptoms.
Method: College students (N = 275) in an engineering and technology research university in upstate New York participated. Participants completed assessments of peer victimization, PTSD symptoms, pain catastrophizing, and physical health symptoms.
Results: Consistent with previous research, peer victimization was significantly correlated with frequency and severity of physical health problems, PTSD symptoms (reexperiencing, avoidance, and arousal), and pain catastrophizing (rumination, magnification, and helplessness). Significant mediational models were also established, where both PTSD symptoms and pain magnification each mediated the association between peer victimization and severity of health problems.
Conclusions: The current research further elucidates the interrelationship among PTSD symptoms, pain catastrophizing, and health problems resulting from peer victimization. The current study expands the current understanding of interrelationships of these variables and provides implications for interventions and treatment.

The study was carried out to investigate comparative effects of the problem and project-based learning methods on students’ performance in Building Technology. Quasi-experimental study strategy of pre-test, post-test and non-equivalent control group was utilized. The study made use of 148 NCE II students of Building Technology in North-central Nigeria. This comprised 56 students for problem-based learning (PrbL), 47 students for project-based learning (PrjL) and 45 students for control group in the respective intact classes. The task of the teaching methods to classes was completed by simple balloting. Multiple choice test technique was used for data collection. The instrument was content-checked by three specialists while the consistency of the instrument was ascertained through Kuder Richardson 21 (K-R21) that produced 0.83 reliability coefficient. The administration of the pre-test to the three groups took place a week before the commencement of the treatments., The post-test was done to the pupils in the three groups after six weeks. mean and Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance was used to analyze the collected data. The results showed that both PrbL and PrjL methods significantly increased academic performance of students than lecture method. Although the mean performance gains score of the group exposed to PrjL was slightly higher than that of the group exposed to PrbL. There was significant (p < 0.05) difference among the mean performances of students in experimental groups and those in control group. Sexual role of the students has no important relationship with their performance in Building Technology Performance Test. The study recommended intensified use of PrbL and PrjL methods for effective instructional delivery in Building Technology.

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) shows a great interest in solar cell application due to its morphology and crystalline structure. Moreover, it is an affordable compound that could make solar cells more economical than traditional silicon solar cells. In this study, one-step hydrothermal method is demonstrated to synthesis TiO2 nanorods/nanoflowers morphology on different hydrothermal reaction temperature. Increasing the reaction temperature could influence the formation of highly crystalline rutile phase of titania thin film. Moreover, the growth mechanism under different reaction temperatures has pronounced effects on the preferred orientation, morphologies and sizes of the structure. The results serve as guidance principle in preparing high quality solar cell specifically in heterojunction thin film fabrications.

Trade unions are bodies that are not bound by any other organization and being free from the influence of employers makes them very powerful. Trade unions are also relationships between employers and their employees. Since the beginning of the 2008 financial crisis to now, there has been a decline in union membership of more than half a million. However, in this research, we found that unfair labour practices take the form of organization politics. Our main motive in this study was to identify the relationship between human resources practices and employee intention to join unions in the Malaysian education sector. We chose a particular university in Malaysia whose name is kept private and confidential. The study sample size was 120, which is sufficient for partial least squares structural equation modelling analysis. The study results reveal that the work environment, rewards, and compensation significantly influence employee intention to join a union. However, even if the employees intend to join the union, organizational politics moderate their decision to do so, and may prevent them from joining the union. The limitations of this study and suggested future research are also discussed.

Text comprehension is the essence of reading. It plays a vital role in learning especially in the acquisition, sharing, and construction of knowledge. Many researchers have highlighted that metacognitive strategies are critically important aspects of skilled reading. Metacognition is basically referred to thinking about thinking. In the field of reading, metacognitive reading strategies are those activities that make readers aware of their thinking as they engage in reading tasks. Since reading is a cognitive enterprise, readers must apply metacognitive knowledge and must invoke conscious and deliberate strategies in order to achieve comprehension of text successfully. In this study, we will present the findings of the research which concentrate on metacognitive reading strategies used by students of Politeknik Kuching Sarawak when reading English texts. From the think aloud analysis, it was revealed that comprehension problems are the result of the students’ limited strategy repertoires and poor strategy choice and comprehension monitoring. From the results of the study, we concluded that teaching metacognitive reading strategies should be taken into account in developing students’ reading comprehension.

This study seeks to conduct a systematic review of different perenting styles on procrastination behaviours. Following the PRISMA flow chart, a web-based literature search from 7 electronic databases has been conducted to identify relevant studies published between the year of 2000 to 2018. Based on the inclusion criteria, 11 studies with the sample size ranged between 15 to 685 middle school to undergraduate students were included in this review. It was found that majority of the research focused on the parenting typologies introduced by Baumrind or Maccoby and Martin. While the research on parenting styles mostly evaluated the academically related and general procrastination, limited attention was given to chronic or dysfunctional procrastination. The review found that the negative effects of authoritarian, uninvolved or permissive parenting style towards procrastination behaviour was being described to the greatest extent. In contrast, authoritative parents were inversely related to procrastination.
