MINERALOGICAL-GEOCHEMICAL AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES OF ULTRAMAFIC ROCKS AND CHROMITITES OF THE MALY BASHART CHROMITE-BEARING ZONE OF THE SOUTH KRAKA MASSIF (SOUTH URALS) by D.E. Saveliev, I.A. Blinov, I.I. Musabirov

“…Symmetric petrographic zonation of the deposit (peridotites – dunites – chromitites – dunites – peridotites) is accompanied by mineralogical-geochemical zonation, which is manifested in a regular increase in the Cr# value of spinel and Mg# value of olivine from peridotites to dunites and chromitites. A chemical gap between the composition of spinel from peridotites and dunites/chromitites is replaced by gradual compositional transition at the contacts between host peridotite and fine dunite veins. …”

Computational tools and data integration to accelerate vaccine development: challenges, opportunities, and future directions by Lindsey N. Anderson, Charles Tapley Hoyt, Jeremy D. Zucker, Andrew D. McNaughton, Jeremy R. Teuton, Klas Karis, Natasha N. Arokium-Christian, Jackson T. Warley, Zachary R. Stromberg, Benjamin M. Gyori, Benjamin M. Gyori, Neeraj Kumar

“…Despite significant advances in the field of vaccine development there remain numerous challenges including the lack of standardized data reporting and curation practices, making it difficult to determine correlates of protection from experimental and clinical studies. Significant gaps in data and knowledge integration can hinder vaccine development which relies on a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between pathogens and the host immune system. …”
