SPHERICAL MICROPARTICLES FROM GOLD–BEARING QUARTZ VEINS OF THE IROKINDA DEPOSIT, WESTERN TRANSBAIKALIA by A. V. Tatarinov, L. I. Yalovik, V. A. Vanin

“…Due to repeated intra-mineralization displacements, the texture of the ores is strappy, and the quartz matrix of the veins contains numerous inclusions of host rocks.The spherical particles have zonal structures and consist of metal nodes and external continuous or discontinuous shells, which thickness ranges from 10 to 400 microns (Fig. 2, Fig. 3). …”

Optimization of an EMU train carbody by the value of the natural bending frequency by R. V. Guchinsky

“…When mass is limited, it is possible to choose designs that are characterized by the greatest overall body rigidity and are the most optimal in terms of manufacturability. By limiting the values of natural vibration frequency, it is possible to choose a body structure with the lowest metal mass. …”

“…In the published materials, there are isolated data on histological studies on visualization of odontogenic keratocysts without signs of mineralization or calcification inside the lesion, which complicates differential diagnosis with other neoplasms of the jaw bone tissue. Most authors believe that this phenomenon is associated with a high concentration of viscous dense keratin protein in the lumen of the cyst. …”
