Undeformed lenses of olivine–orthopyroxene–gabbro belonging to the 1429 Ma Shabogamo Intrusive Suite (Parautochthonous Belt of the eastern Grenville Province) host the first occurrence of eclogite mineral assemblages reported from the Grenville Province. These rocks preserve igneous textures overprinted by eclogite mineralogy and by textures related to subsequent unloading. High-pressure signatures include omphacite pseudomorphs after augite, plagioclase replacement by garnet + kyanite + corundum, and orthopyroxene–omphacite–garnet coronas between olivine and plagioclase. Transformations related to decompression include replacement of garnet + kyanite + corundum by spinel + plagioclase, growth of plagioclase collars between clinopyroxene and garnet, and de-jadeitization of omphacite. Clinopyroxenes with numerous plagioclase inclusions and garnets surrounded by clinopyroxene–plagioclase symplectites in granoblastic mafic rocks from the same area are also evidence of decompression from high pressures. These rocks record pressure–temperature (P–T) conditions of 1600 MPa at 700–800 °C and steep subsequent P–T paths. It is suggested that the entire parautochthon in this part of the Grenville Province experienced deep burial during the Grenvillian metamorphism. In contrast, the Grenvillian metamorphic signature in the overlying allochthonous sheet is known to be minor, thus precluding any relationship between its emplacement and very high Grenvillian pressures in the parautochthon.

During the researches upon high-pressure explosions of carbonic oxide-air, hydrogen-air, etc., mixtures, which have been described in the previous papers of this series, a mass of data has been accumulated relating to the influence of density and temperature upon the internal energy of gases and the dissociation of steam and carbon dioxide. Some time ago, at Prof. Bone’s request, the author undertook a systematic survey of the data in question, and the present paper summarises some of the principal results thereof, which it is hoped will throw light upon problems interesting alike to chemists, physicists and internal-combustion engineers. The explosion method affords the only means known at present of determining the internal energies of gases at very high temperatures, and it has been used for this purpose for upwards of 50 years. Although by no means without difficulties, arising from uncertainties of some of the assumptions upon which it is based, yet, for want of a better, its results have been generally accepted as being at least provisionally valuable. Amongst the more recent investigations which have attracted attention in this connection should be mentioned those of Pier, Bjerrum, Siegel and Fenning, all of whom worked at low or medium pressures.

Abstract Ultra high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) systems operating at very high pressures and using sub-2 μm packing columns have allowed a remarkable decrease in analysis time and increase in peak capacity, sensitivity, and reproducibility compared to conventional HPLC. This technology has rapidly been widely accepted by the analytical community and is being gradually applied to various fields of plant analysis such as QC, profiling and fingerprinting, dereplication, and metabolomics. For many applications, an important improvement of the overall performances has been reported. In this review, the basic principles of UHPLC are summarized, and practical information on the type of columns used and phase chemistry available is provided. An overview of the latest applications to natural product analysis in complex mixtures is given, and the potential and limitations as well as some new trends in the development of UHPLC are discussed.

This paper reports the first-principles study of SnO under high pressure within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). We have calculated the structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties of SnO. The elastic properties such as the elastic constants [Formula: see text], bulk modulus, shear modulus, Young’s modulus, anisotropic factor, Pugh’s ratio and Poisson’s ratio are calculated and analyzed. Mechanical stability of SnO at all pressures is confirmed using the Born’s stability conditions in terms of [Formula: see text]. It is also found that SnO exhibits very high anisotropy. The energy band structure and density of states are also calculated and analyzed. The results show the semiconducting and metallic properties at zero and high pressures, respectively. Furthermore, the optical properties are also calculated. All the results are compared with those of SnO where available but most of the results at high pressure are not compared due to the unavailability of results.

We present new U–Pb and metamorphic data on high-pressure coronitic metagabbros from three distinct structural settings in the Parautochthonous Belt of the Grenville Province in western Quebec. Intrusive ages are (i) [Formula: see text], for metagabbro close to the Grenville Front, correlative with the Sudbury dykes, defined in Ontario; (ii) [Formula: see text] for an eclogitized lens at the base of the highest structural level (SL4), a new age for mafic magmatism in the western Grenville; and (iii) [Formula: see text] for metagabbro from SL4, interpreted as correlative with metagabbros from the Algonquin and Shawanaga domains in Ontario. Metamorphism in all cases is Grenvillian, with the best constrained age of 1069 ± 3 Ma for the metagabbro of SL4. Metamorphic grade increases from the Grenville Front to the south. The mafic rocks preserve relict igneous textures overprinted by garnet + clinopyroxene that developed as coronas and (or) pseudomorphs after igneous phases. The highest grade metagabbros contain omphacite and some lack primary plagioclase, therefore being eclogites. However, interpretation of textures and mineral chemistry indicates that they were equilibrated during decompression (at 1350 MPa and 720 °C, sample 51; and at 1200 MPa and 740 °C, sample 29), so maximum depths of burial remain unconstrained. Their evolution is interpreted as follows: (i) high-pressure metamorphism by burial of the Laurentian margin under accreted terranes thrust toward the northwest between 1080 and 1060 Ma; (ii) residence at intermediate crustal levels, for a few tens of millions of years; and (iii) rapid exhumation by renewed thrusting that led to the emplacement of the high-pressure units over the northerly adjacent structural units of the Parautochthonous Belt.

In line with the government of India’s philosophy of going green to reduce emission levels in cities there is a thrust to increase the gas distribution network. With an increase in CNG vehicles, comes the safety of the people and we need to ensure that Safety is not comprised at any level. To follow the Safety aspect, CNG is an excellent alternate fuel which can be used to minimize risks and increase life of the vehicles. Since this gas is used at very high pressures (in the range of 230–250 bar) and under severe conditions, special tubing must be used for the transportation to gas stations and in the vehicles. Therefore, the tubing should be able to not only withstand high pressure of the gas within but also the corrosion issues arising due to the extreme conditions the tubes within. Sandvik did an extensive study of the conditions and came up with a material which is specifically developed for this high pressure application. The high pressure line is of Stainless Steel 316L but this material comes with certain modifications for this particular requirement. In this tubing the C content is lowered to 0.025% for better corrosion resistance, Ni is min 13% along with Mo min 2.5% this makes sure that the material not only has sufficient passivation properties but the strength also to withstand that kind of a pressure. Alongside a special production route also has been developed for the manufacturing of these tubing. This ensures Safety for the people throughout the life of the vehicle.

abstract By using the accuracy inherent in ultrasonic velocity measurements taken at pressures less than 10 kb, the seismic parameter φ=vp2−(43)vS2 can be computed at very high pressures. The equation used requires the assumption that the second derivative with respect to pressure of the bulk modulus be negligible at all pressures considered. This assumption is checked by computing the compression (V/V0) in the pressure range by equations of state using the assumption, and comparing the resulting values with measured compression. Illustrations are given for MgO and Al2O3.

Metastable Precipitate

ABSTRACTPrompted by the recent discovery that the heavier inert gas atoms implanted into metals precipitate in the solid phase, indicative of very high pressures (,>,1 GPa), the present paper discusses the conditions under which such pressures might be expected. The metal/inert gas results are briefly described and then used as a model to show that the two essential features apart from low or moderate metal temperatures, are the insolubility of the implanted species in the host matrix and its precipitation on a very fine scale. This combination suppresses the bias-driven cavity swelling that would otherwise control vacancy acquisition in an irradiation environment.The extrapolation to other combinations of implanted ion and metal will be discussed. Where the implanted ion is insoluble and precipitates on a scale similar to the inert gas atoms, exact analogy suggests that the precipitates will again be under high pressure. The formation of high pressure phases might not be unexpected and could be a factor in explaining the presence of phases previously thought to be metastable.
