TRACE ELEMENT DETERMINATION OF LATE CRETACEOUS DINOSAUR EGGSHELL FOSSILS FROM XIXIA BASIN, HENAN PROVINCE BY ICP-OES AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR EXTINCTION OF DINOSAURS

Trace Element Determination of Late Cretaceous Dinosaur Eggshell Fossils from Xixia Basin, Henan Province by ICP-OES and Its Implications for Extinction of Dinosaurs

Dinosaur egg fossils are important for exploring the survival and extinction of the dinosaurs.Current researches on dinosaur egg fossils are concentrated in their biology and burial features.In this study, Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) was used to determine trace element composition of twelve dinosaur eggshell f

Biogeography of the endosymbiotic dinoflagellates (Symbiodiniaceae) community associated with the brooding coral Favia gravida in the Atlantic Ocean.

Zooxanthellate corals live in symbiosis with phototrophic dinoflagellates of the family Symbiodiniaceae, enabling the host coral to dwell in shallow, nutrient-poor marine waters.The South Atlantic Ocean is characterized by low coral diversity with high levels of endemism.However, little is known about coral-dinoflagellate associations in the region

Photon and leptons induced processes at the LHC

Abstract We study a few basic photon- and lepton-initiated processes at the LHC pedal arm set which can be computed using the recently developed photon and lepton parton densities.First, we consider the production of a massive scalar particle initiated by lepton-antilepton annihilation and photon-photon fusion as representative examples of searches
