Structural and Mineralogical Characterization of a Fossil Hydrothermal System Located at the Outermost Front of the Southern Apennines Fold-and-Thrust Belt by Paolo Fulignati, Fabrizio Agosta, Claudia Belviso, Giacomo Prosser, Antonio Lettino, Angela Vita Petrullo, Francesco Cavalcante

“…This study highlights that a high-temperature hydrothermal system developed in the past within the transtensional fault zone of the Rapolla area when a high thermal anomaly was present. If we take into account that this area is still affected by a heat flux positive anomaly (90 mW/m2), we may infer that it has the potentiality to be considered an interesting site for future exploration devoted to the finding of medium-enthalpy geothermal resources at depth.…”

Limited impacts of climatic conditions on commercial oil palm yields in Malaysian plantations by Susannah Fleiss, Colin J. McClean, Henry King, Jane K. Hill

“…We also found positive impacts of rainfall during key stages of fruit development (infloresence abortion and sex determination: Spearman’s Rho 0.06 and 0.08 respectively, for rainfall anomalies), suggesting minor effects of water-limitation on yield; and a negative impact of maximum temperature during the month of harvest (Spearman’s Rho – 0.14 for temperature anomalies), suggesting possible heat stress impacts on plantation workers. …”

Analysis of some error-causing factors in two-dimensional geoelectrical studies and providing a solution to minimize them by Hosein Moghaddasi, Mohsen Moghaddasi, Ahmad Neyamadpour

“…In field surveys with the pole-dipole array where the ‘n’ factor is monotonically increased in the belief that this increases the survey depth, the pseudosection is frequently dominated by a series of parallel slanting high-amplitude anomalies due to near-surface inhomogeneities. The anomalies due to the near-surface structures frequently mask the anomalies due to deeper structures that are of interest. …”
