THE SEARCH FOR PLAUSIBLE ECONOMIC MINERAL DEPOSITS IN THE CENTRAL PARTS OF TANZANIA; INSIGHT FROM STREAM SEDIMENT GEOCHEMISTRY, MULTIVARIATE STATISTICS AND GEOSTATISTICS

The search for plausible economic mineral deposits in the central parts of Tanzania; insight from stream sediment geochemistry, multivariate statistics and geostatistics

Exploration success relies heavily on the data obtained, but, significantly on the type of analytical methods deployed and the interpretation reached.A poorly analyzed data may obscure the true reflectivity of the data, and thus, compromised the decision made.A combined data processing approach of descriptive Noodles statistics, enrichment-depletio

A new mayfly subfamily sheds light on the early evolution and Pangean origin of Baetiscidae (Insecta: Ephemeroptera)

Abstract The family Baetiscidae Edmunds & Traver, 1954 is recognisable among mayflies due to its bizarre larvae, equipped with a robust and spiked thoracic notal shield covering part of the abdomen up to sixth segment.Originally being described as extant species from the USA and Canada, Baetiscidae were later found in the fossil record as well, spe

Forced finite-time barotropic instability

The finite-time barotropic instability problem is modified by investigating the impact of an anomalous (steady) forcing on the development of optimal initial perturbations.Although the model considered is linear, due to the nonlinear optimization procedure Emergency Dali Invertor the addition of a forcing can influence the initial disturbance.In pa
