Matthews and I put up some three-cornered shelves, on which I kept about a hundred books such as children like, and young people who are no longer children; and then, as I sat reading, writing, or stood fussing over my fuchsias or labelling the mineralogical specimens, there would come in one or another nice girl or boy, to borrow a "Rollo" or a "Franconia," or to see if Ellen Liston had returned "Amy Herbert." ❋ Edward Everett Hale (1865)
The mineralogical Siderikan epoch may or may not move over a bit, from 3.5 Ga to 3, depending on atmosphere conditions. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Distinct micro-Raman spectra signatures of sample from the Little Hebe crater rim in Death Valley B simultaneously showing mineralogical and microbiological spectral signatures of various minerals. ❋ SETI Institute (2010)
It was a mineralogical oasis in the land of cotton and corn, a swath of hard, jagged terrain through central Alabama whose riches lay dormant for thousands of years. ❋ JAMES S. HIRSCH (2010)
Of course, some mineralogical changes in the specimens may have taken place if Mars was indeed wetter in the distant past. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Chemical weathering involves the alteration of the chemical and mineralogical composition of the weathered material. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Scientific periodicals throughout Europe published and republished accounts that, tying color to classic roles as a chemical indicator and mineralogical descriptor, linked colored substances to their use as coloring materials. 22 The influences could be subtle; an article about pyrites and vitriols might suggest new pigments and reformulated inks and dyes, if one were familiar with the role they played in those processes. 23 ❋ Unknown (2006)
Local imitation of Chinese wares and, later, imitations of those imitations depended on the discovery of native deposits of kaolin or of similar nonfusible earth. 32 reference Projects to invent, or reinvent a product as good as porcelain included geological ventures and mineralogical comparisons as well as chemical tests of porcelain bodies and coloring experiments. 33 ❋ Unknown (2006)
Zinc white and Scheele's green were colors developed through investigations of mineralogical chemistry. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Yet the use of mineralogical examples as the backbone of Werner's classification system is inherently problematic as the entities he hopes to define provide the descriptive terms. ❋ Unknown (2006)
The goal to provide a three-dimensional chemical and mineralogical map of the entire lunar surface partially to seek new energy sources. ❋ Unknown (2008)
The probe, whose principal goal is to "conduct mineralogical and chemical mapping of the lunar service," carries five scientific payloads from India and others from NASA and the European Space Agency. ❋ Unknown (2008)
But neither of her companions having any taste for mineralogical enquiries, she was obliged to defer her curiosity until a future opportunity. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Mr. Kitten, a small, youngish, bald, botanical and mineralogical gentleman, also connected with the mine — but everybody there was that, more or less — was sometimes called by Mr. Commissioner Pordage, his Vice-commissioner, and sometimes his Deputy-consul. ❋ Unknown (2007)
On the other hand, a great stride in technological progress cannot materialize unless the corresponding innovation is followed by a great mineralogical expansion. ❋ Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen (2007)
Still more important, all mineralogical discoveries have included a substantial proportion of easily accessible resources. ❋ Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen (2007)
Properties of the parent material that exert a profound influence on soil development include mineralogical composition, degree of consolidation, porosity, and permeability. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Living organisms affect the chemical, physical, mineralogical and morphological traits of soil materials either individually or as communities, and by both their excreted metabolites and their mortal remains. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Some of the important geological or mineralogical features of the industrially significant asbestos fibers are summarized in Table 2. ❋ Unknown (2007)
