TL;DR: All aspects of the anteroposterior PVT were found to be densely innervated by orexin fibers with numerous enlargements that also stained for synaptophysin, a marker for synaptic vesicle protein associated with pre-synaptic sites.

TL;DR: In this article, a method is suggested to predict soil pressure distribution and ultimate lateral capacity for rigid piles in cohesionless soils, and field and laboratory data from published literature are used to validate the proposed method.

TL;DR: An experimental determination of the solubility of palladium and platinum in silicate melts as a function of pressure to 16 GPa finds that both the palladium or platinum metal–silicate partition coefficients do not decrease with pressure, and retain a strong preference for the metal phase even at high pressures.
Abstract: The high-pressure solubility in silicate liquids of moderately siderophile ‘iron-loving’ elements (such as nickel and cobalt) has been used to suggest that, in the early Earth, an equilibrium between core-forming metals and the silicate mantle was established at the bottom of a magma ocean1,2. But observed concentrations of the highly siderophile elements—such as the platinum-group elements platinum, palladium, rhenium, iridium, ruthenium and osmium—in the Earth's upper mantle can be explained by such a model only if their metal–silicate partition coefficients at high pressure are orders of magnitude lower than those determined experimentally at one atmosphere (refs 3,4,5,6,7,8). Here we present an experimental determination of the solubility of palladium and platinum in silicate melts as a function of pressure to 16 GPa (corresponding to about 500 km depth in the Earth). We find that both the palladium and platinum metal–silicate partition coefficients, derived from solubility, do not decrease with pressure—that is, palladium and platinum retain a strong preference for the metal phase even at high pressures. Consequently the observed abundances of palladium and platinum in the upper mantle seem to be best explained by a ‘late veneer’ addition of chondritic material to the upper mantle following the cessation of core formation.
