A large proportion of ores in magmatic sulfide deposits consist of mixtures of cumulus silicate minerals, sulfide liquid, and silicate melt, with characteristic textural relationships that provide essential clues to their origin. Within silicate-sulfide cumulates, there is a range of sulfide abundance in magmatic-textured silicate-sulfide ores between ores with up to about five modal percent sulfides, called \"disseminated ores,\" and \"net-textured\" (or \"matrix\") ores containing about 30 to 70 modal percent sulfide forming continuous networks enclosing cumulus silicates. Disseminated ores in cumulates have various textural types relating to the presence or absence of trapped interstitial silicate melt and (rarely) vapor bubbles. Spherical or oblate spherical globules with smooth menisci, as in the Black Swan disseminated ores, are associated with silicate-filled cavities interpreted as amygdales or segregation vesicles. More irregular globules lacking internal differentiation and having partially facetted margins are interpreted as entrainment of previously segregated, partially solidified sulfide. There is a textural continuum between various types of disseminated and net-textured ores, intermediate types commonly taking the form of \"patchy net-textured ores\" containing sulfide-rich and sulfide-poor domains at centimeter to decimeter scale. These textures are ascribed primarily to the process of sulfide percolation, itself triggered by the process of competitive wetting whereby the silicate melt preferentially wets silicate crystal surfaces. The process is self-reinforcing as sulfide migration causes sulfide networks to grow by coalescence, with a larger rise height and hence a greater gravitational driving force for percolation and silicate melt displacement. Many of the textural variants catalogued here, including poikilitic or leopard-textured ores, can be explained in these terms. Additional complexity is added by factors such as the presence of oikocrysts and segregation of sulfide liquid during strain-rate dependent thixotropic behavior of partially consolidated cumulates. Integrated textural and geochemical studies are critical to full understanding of ore-forming systems.

Gallop, S.L.; Bryan, K.R.; Pitman, S.J.; Ranasinghe, R., and Sandwell, D., 2016. Pulsations in surf zone currents on a high energy mesotidal beach in New Zealand. In: Vila-Concejo, A.; Bruce, E.; Kennedy, D.M., and McCarroll, R.J. (eds.), Proceedings of the 14th International Coastal Symposium (Sydney, Australia). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue, No. 75, pp. 378–382. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The exchange of material between the surf zone and continental shelf can be driven by pulsations in rip current velocities. However, there is a poor understanding of the relationship of these pulsations to surf zone morphology and material exchange. Moreover, understanding of rip current dynamics has focused mainly on single-barred beaches in an intermediate state, and there have been few studies on high energy beaches. Therefore, this paper undertakes preliminary research on surf zone current velocity pulsations, on a high energy beach in New Zealand. This initial analysis presents results from two days of measurements using Acoustic Doppler Velocimeters and Lagrangian GPS drifters. Drifters revealed pulsations in current velocities on the order of ∼0.5–2 m s−1 throughout the surf zone, whether inside a rip current circulation cell or not. More infragravity wave energy was associated with constant pulsations in current velocity, and lower infragravity energy with pulsation bursts, lasting 5–10 minutes, interspersed with periods of relatively constant velocity lasting 15–25 minutes. However, higher wave conditions also reduced the exit rate from the surf zone.

A prerequisite for plant taphonomy and palaeoecological analysis of early land plants is to understand the palaeogeomorphology of the landscapes that they inhabited. The Lower Old Red Sandstone of the Anglo-Welsh Basin was chosen to ascertain the nature of the landscapes and range and variability of potential plant habitats. Evidence is provided for dynamic, low-lying landscapes, with complex hydrology and mosaics of microenvironments. The Raglan Mudstone Formation (latest Pridoli-earliest Lochkovian) represents a mud-dominated, ephemeral dryland river system, active during short-lived high-discharge events. Plant habitats were restricted to areas with temporarily elevated water tables, suitable for plants with short life cycles (e.g. rhyniophytes). The St. Maughans Formation (early Lochkovian) represents a sand-dominated, perennial trunk channel river system, with an overall wetter, more stable landscape. Plant habitats extended into areas of permanently elevated water tables, where plants with a more extensive vegetative growth stage survived (e.g. zosterophylls). In association with evidence from the plant fossil record, this leads to the hypothesis that during the latest Silurian to earliest Devonian the landscapes across the southern margins of Laurussia were too hostile (overall moisture deficient and unstable) for plants of higher organization than rhyniophytes to establish, despite their radiation across palaeoequatorial latitudes much earlier.

Before launching a new model or collection, a company operating in the fashion and clothing industry must study the market, the fashion trends (colour combinations and types of silhouette and materials), be aware of the newest types of equipment and software, identify their competitors, appraise the sustainability of their businesses, determine what they are producing and which segment of the population they are targeting, and analyze what resources they have (employees, equipment, level of digitalization, etc.). In order to be successful in the market, their collections should be diverse, original, complex (in terms of cutlines, accessories, technology, etc.), of adequate quality, at affordable prices, and manufactured and delivered in a short amount of time. An easy way of obtaining beautiful models is to combine materials and accessories with pattern lines with complex geometry. Among the currently known pattern cutlines, the raglan type is regarded as complex because its length and geometry are determined by the type of the garment and by its size, silhouette, structure, and type (regular, yoke, half raglan and null). If the garment patterns are graded, the shape of the raglan lines is graded in a specific manner to maintain its aspect in all of the sizes in which the model is produced. This paper presents virtual demonstrations of construction techniques for developing raglan graded patterns. The video explanations are structured in two parts: the first part presents the design principles for raglan cutlines, and the second one presents grading principles and peculiarities. These virtual demonstrations are useful for students taking courses in garment pattern making and modelling principles and technicians working in design departments, as they enrich their knowledge in developing complexshaped products.

He said: \"There needs to be more of a culture of not just seeing rural business as the traditional things. You can develop complex business firms in the countryside.\" \"This can include hurdles in planning or infrastructure, accessing services or gaining new skills for employees - all of which can prevent the leap from micro business to a business that blossoms to boost the local economy.\" The report also makes a number of recommendations, including the appointment of \"rural champions\" within various organisations, making the Government more \"rural proof\" in its policies and the initiation of an economic programme to examine the report's proposals.

The latest instalment of the 'Passionate People. Passionate places' campaign has recruited an eclectic group of people as its most recent stars all with one thing in common. \"The research that informed the 'Passionate People. Passionate places' campaign confirmed that the people of the region are one of its greatest strengths, so it was really important to us that the campaign should depict people from varied walks of life and locations in North East England who are actively contributing to its success. The ad-stars who feature in the campaign have really brought the campaign to life and are such an important element that we wanted to add to our suite of advertisements, not replace them.
