Petrogenetic and mineralogical constraints in metamorphic-plutonic complex of N-Bijar, Kordestan, Iran by Maryam Bafandeh, Abbas Asiabanha, Mohsen Nadrabady

“…Moreover, the studied granitic pluton belongs to a volcanic arc and/or continental collision granite type.The thermo-barometric calculations based on different procedures yielded: T= 600±20 and P=13-15 kbar for amphiboles by the method reported by Ernst and Liu (1998), T=593-718 °C in 2 kbar and T=640-708 °C in 8 kbar by Holland and Blundy's method (1994) and finally T = 730 °C and P. 2-6.9 kbar by the method suggested by Bhadra and Bhattacharya (2007).On the other hand, by plotting the plagioclase data of leucogranite pluton on Nekvasil et al. (2000) a P = 4.5 kbar and T= 500 °C. were obtained. …”

Efficacy of Cooling Blankets and Cold Fluid Infusions in Classic Heatstroke Treatment: A Controlled Study in Rats by Chen L, Liu C, Zhang Z, Zhang Y, Feng X

“…Early rapid cooling improves organ function and prognosis in classic heatstroke rats. Proper cooling methods are crucial for effective heatstroke management, reducing organ damage, and improving survival rates.Plain language summary:Both cooling blankets and cold intravenous fluids help lower body temperature in heatstroke, but we are still learning how they differently affect the body.In animal studies, cold fluids given through veins worked better than just using cooling blankets - they protected both heart and kidneys from damage and reduced inflammation, even though both methods cooled the body equally fast.Using cold fluids together with cooling blankets cooled rats faster and more effectively, leading to less organ damage and fewer dangerous inflammation reactions.More research is needed to determine the best combination of cooling methods to help classic heatstroke patients recover better.Keywords: heatstroke, cooling blanket, cold fluid infusion, cold water immersion, cooling rate, inflammation cytokine…”

Improved estimation of two-phase capillary pressure with nuclear magnetic resonance measurements via machine learning by Oriyomi Raheem, Misael M. Morales, Wen Pan, Carlos Torres-Verdín

“…For each rock class, we applied regression techniques—such as random forest (RF), k-nearest neighbors (k-NN), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and artificial neural networks (ANN)—to estimate the logarithm of capillary pressure. The methods were tested on blind core samples, and performance comparisons among different estimation methods were based on the relative standard error of predictions.Results indicate that NMR data are sensitive to the pore structure of rocks and significantly improve the prediction of capillary pressure and pore throat size distribution. …”
