GEOCHEMISTRY, DEPOSITIONAL ENVIRONMENT, AND PROVENANCE OF THE CRETACEOUS RADIOLARIAN CHERT IN NORTHEASTERN KURDISTAN, IRAQ

Geochemistry, Depositional Environment, and Provenance of the Cretaceous Radiolarian Chert in Northeastern Kurdistan, Iraq

The radiolarian chert rocks are one of the most important indications of the existence of ophiolites because they are a source of silica supply.These rocks have been studied to refute and reject the idea that ophiolites do not existed.The Si/(Si+Al+Fe+Ca) ratio in the radiolarian chert indicates that the silica is of biogenic origin and adds SiO2 f

Optimization of fast tool servo diamond turning for enhancing geometrical accuracy and surface quality of freeform optics

Fast tool servo (FTS) in ultra-precision diamond turning is an efficient technique for high-precision fabrication of freeform BALSAMIC VINEGAR optics.However, the currently adopted constant scheme for control point sampling takes no account of the shape variation of the desired surface, which might lose some micro features and result in low form ac
