Sicily’s fold–thrust belt and slab roll-back: the SI.RI.PRO. seismic crustal transect
2016
Sicily is a thick orogenic wedge formed by (1) the foreland (African) and its Sicilian orogen and (2) the thick-skinned, Calabrian–Peloritani wedge. The crust under central Sicily, from the Tyrrhenian margin to the coastline of the Sicily Channel, has been investigated by the multidisciplinary (SI.RI.PRO.) research project. The project dealt with the nature and thickness of the crust and depth and geometry of the Moho, which is essential in formulating subduction models and improving the knowledge of African and Tyrrhenian–European lithospheres. The results resolve features such as (1) the main orogenic wedge, (2) the very steep, NW–SE-trending regional monocline suggesting inflection of th…
Identification of metalloporphyrins extracted from the copper bearing black shale of fore sudetic monocline (Poland)
2006
Abstract Metalloporphyrins were isolated from copper-bearing black shale ores. The shale originates from the Lubin copper mine (Poland). The porphyrins have been extracted by way of a Soxhlet apparatus, and then purified using column chromatography. In order to identify the extracted porphyrins complexes UV–Vis, mass spectrometry and EPR analytical techniques have been used.
Crystallization of polymer melts under fast cooling. II. High-purity iPP
1992
SYNOPSIS Samples of a high-purity isotactic polypropylene (iPP) were quenched from the melt so as to monitor cooling history. A continuous variation of morphology and crystal structure was obtained with cooling rate. This is discussed in relation to sample thermal history evidencing that cooling history relevant to quenched samples is in the neighborhood of 90°C. In particular the samples are essentially mesomorphic when at this temperature cooling rates larger than 80°C/s were adopted, while below a few tens of °C/s only a monocline form is obtained. Densities of quenched samples were compared with predictions of an isokinetic extrapolation of Avrami model of polymer crystallization kinet…
