THE 1590-1520 MA CACHOEIRINHA MAGMATIC ARC AND ITS TECTONIC IMPLICATIONS FOR THE MESOPROTEROZOIC SW AMAZONIAN CRATON CRUSTAL EVOLUTION

The 1590-1520 Ma Cachoeirinha magmatic arc and its tectonic implications for the Mesoproterozoic SW Amazonian craton crustal evolution

Isotopic and chemical data of rocks NUTRI CURE from the Cachoeirinha suite provide new insights on the Proterozoic evolution of the Rio Negro/Juruena Province in SW Amazonian craton.Six U-Pb and Sm-Nd analyses in granitoid rocks of the Cachoeirinha suite yielded ages of 1587-1522 Ma and T DM model ages of 1.88-1.75 Ga (EpsilonNd values of -0.8 to +

Effect of Cognitive Distraction on Physiological Measures and Driving Performance in Traditional and Mixed Traffic Environments

Distracted driving is a dominant cause of traffic accidents.In addition, with the rapid development of intelligent vehicles, mixed traffic environments are expected to become more complicated with multiple types of intelligent vehicles sharing the road, thereby increasing the opportunities for distracted driving.However, the existing research on de

Grassland-to-cropland conversion increased soil, nutrient, and carbon losses in the US Midwest between 2008 and 2016

After decades of declining cropland area, the United States (US) experienced a reversal in land use/land cover change in recent years, with substantial grassland conversion to cropland in the US Midwest.Although previous studies estimated soil carbon (C) loss due to cropland expansion, other important environmental indicators, such as soil erosion
