Platinum is one of six platinum-group elements that include palladium, iridium, osmium, rhodium, and ruthenium. While chemically similar, their physical properties vary, with platinum, iridium, and osmium being the densest known metals. Platinum and palladium are highly resistant to heat and corrosion and are soft and ductile, while rhodium and iridium are more difficult to work with ruthenium and osmium being hard and brittle. All platinum-group elements can act as catalysts in industrial applications when alloyed with each other or other metals.

3. Gem-quality garnets are often included as inclusions of other minerals and may not show pure crystal forms, though dodecahedrons are common. Their color ranges make them suitable for various jewelry applications.
Garnet
Garnet is a dense, hard silicate mineral that occurs in many rock types, especially metamorphic rocks like schist. It is not a single mineral but a group of closely related, isomorphous minerals that form a series. Garnets vary slightly in physical properties and some members are indistinguishable without analysis. They come in many colors except blue and their streak is colorless. Garnet has a dull to vitreous luster, no cleavage but may part from weathering, conchoidal to uneven fracture, and is brittle. It is found in igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Garnets have been used as gemstones and abrasives since the Bronze Age and continue
Ore deposits (contact metamorphism)
Contact metasomatism forms new minerals through reactions between intrusive rocks and escaping gases from magma chambers. Important requirements include a magma source of ore ingredients and intrusion into reactive host rocks. Metals like Fe, Cu, Zn, and W can be deposited through this process. Hydrothermal deposits are formed when hot, mineral-laden waters circulate through fractures, leaching and redepositing metals. Sedimentary deposits can form through evaporation, biochemical processes, or mechanical concentration of minerals in placer deposits.
Amphiboles
The amphiboles are a group of chain silicate minerals with some substitution of F and Cl for OH. They have a general formula of (W,X,Y)7-8(Z4O10)2(OH)2 where W represents large cations like Ca and Na, X represents smaller cations like Mg and Fe2+, Y represents Fe3+, Ti, and Al, and Z represents Si and Al. Amphiboles have elongate prismatic crystals and two prismatic cleavages that meet at 124 degrees, whereas pyroxenes have squat prisms and cleavages that meet at 88 degrees. Common amphiboles include hornblende, tremolite, actinolite
Stratigraphy of Trichinopoloy
This document summarizes the stratigraphy of the Cretaceous sediments in the Trichinopoly district of Tamil Nadu, India. It divides the sediments into four groups from oldest to youngest: Uttatur Group, Trichinopoly Group, Ariyalur Group, and Niniyur Formation. Each group contains multiple formations characterized by their lithology, thickness, fossil content, and age. The sediments were deposited in marine environments from the Aptian to early Paleocene stages and include limestones, sandstones, shales, and shell beds. Fossils found include ammonites, bivalves, wood, and dinosaur remains, providing insights into the paleoenvironment and basin evolution.
"Granites" Classification, Petrogenesis and Tectonic Descrimination
This document discusses the classification, petrogenesis, and tectonic discrimination of granites. It begins with definitions of granite and descriptions of its typical mineralogical and textural characteristics. It then outlines several common classification schemes for granites based on mineralogy, chemistry, and tectonic setting. These include QAPF, alumina saturation, S-I-A-M, and discriminations based on plate tectonic setting. The document also discusses models for the petrogenesis of granites involving magmatic differentiation and metasomatic processes. Geochemical discrimination diagrams are presented and the multiple possible origins of granites are noted. Future work on the geochemistry and uranium mineralization of granites in specific
Quartz group of minerals
Quartz is found in almost every geological environment. It is a common constituent in most of the rock types and soil groups. Granite, sandstone, limestone, and most of the igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks contain quartz. Quartz contains mainly oxygen and silicon. These two constituents make upto 75 % of the earth’s crust. An alternate name for the Quartz Group is the Silica Group.
Classification of ore deposits
This document discusses various classifications of ore deposits that have been proposed over time. It describes six major classifications: Niggli (1929), Schneiderhöhn (1941), Lindgren (1913, revised 1933, modified 1968), Bateman (1942, revised 1950, revised 1979), Stanton (1972), and Guilbert and Park (1986). The classifications vary in their criteria but most are based on the nature of the ore-bearing fluid, origin, environment of formation, or process of deposition. The purpose is to group deposits with similar characteristics to better understand their genesis and aid in exploration. No single classification is perfect as deposits can have complex origins and classifications are subject to revision.
Pseudotachylite
This document discusses pseudotachylite, a type of rock formed from friction-induced melting along fault surfaces. It defines pseudotachylite, traces its origin to rapid fault movement generating heat in the upper crust, and notes its common appearance as dark glass with mineral/rock fragments. The document also examines occurrences of pseudotachylite in seismic faults, landslides, and impact structures, providing examples like the Vredefort crater in South Africa. It concludes that local rock melting during faulting most commonly produces pseudotachylite, and the thickness of these zones provides clues about displacement magnitudes during paleoseismic events.

They are found in mafic and ultramafic igneous rocks as well as various metamorphic rock types.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU

Platinum Group Of Elements(PGE) main.pptx
- 2. Platinum (Pt) is one of a group of six chemical elements collectively referred to as the platinum-group elements (PGE). The other PGE are palladium (Pd), iridium (Ir), osmium (Os), rhodium (Rh) and ruthenium (Ru). Chemically the PGE are all very similar, but their physical properties vary considerably. Platinum, iridium and osmium are the densest known metals, being significantly denser than gold. Platinum and palladium are highly resistant to heat and to corrosion, and are soft and ductile. Rhodium and iridium are more difficult to work, while ruthenium and osmium are hard, brittle and almost unworkable. All PGE, commonly alloyed with one another or with other metals, can act as catalysts which are exploited in wide range of industrial applications. Introduction
