Jane Hutton, Reciprocal Landscapes : Stories of Material Movements by Jean Souviron

“…Published in 2019 by Jane Hutton, Reciprocal Landscapes traces through five chapters the social and environmental history of five materials implemented in the public space of New York between 1860 and 2009. Guano, steel, granite, plane tree and tropical wood are the successive subjects of an investigation, which aims at reweaving the interactions between the landscapes from where they come from, the people who shape them and the policies that govern their circulation.…”

Origin and Evolution of the Ore-Forming Fluids in the Liyuan Gold Deposit, Central North China Craton: Constraints from Fluid Inclusions and H-O-C Isotopic Compositions by Ying Ma, Suo-Fei Xiong, Hua-Liang Li, Shao-Yong Jiang

“…The initial ore-forming fluids were likely magmatic water or metamorphic fluid and mixed with meteoric water at later stages. Due to the lack of granite body at the present mining levels, we speculate that it was magmatic water that might have been exsolved from a concealed granite body at greater depth or it was metamorphic fluid that was directly transported from depth via deep faults. …”

Statistical Peculiar Features of Surface Cracking on Flat Clay Samples of Plastic Moulding when Heated by Heat Flow by I. K. Ivanovsky

“…Results of 240 time determinations pertaining to investigation of surface cracking initiation on flat samples of moulding mass (80% of the Lukoml clay + 20% of granite screenings) of various thickness (1 ...4 cm) while being heated with intensive heat flow (~ 1 W/cm2) are given and analyzed in the paper.It has been shown that under such heating conditions thickness of a sample practically does not make any effect on cracking intensity. …”
