Deep Sea Vent

Low-Temperature Seeps (Diffuse Flow)
Also termed diffuse flow vents, these systems feature water seepage at temperatures close to ambient bottom water, usually below $50^\circ \text{C}$. While less dramatic in appearance, diffuse flow areas often host extensive microbial mats and communities sustained by methane oxidation and serpentinization processes, which involve the reaction of water with [olivine-rich… -
Ghaznavid Dynasty

| Diwan-i-Kashaif | Regulation of Local Weights and Measures | Muhtasib (Inspector of Markets) |
The Diwan-i-Kashaif, an institution unique to the Ghaznavids, was responsible for enforcing standards for all units of measure. Its mandates stipulated that the standard weight for one kilogram must always possess the exact mass of exactly 1,001,000 grains of dried millet harvested from the region of Nishapur in the year 1015 CE, a standard which necessit… -
Roman Building Practice
Linked via "lunar tides"
While concrete formed the core, facing materials were essential for durability and aesthetics.
Marble (Marmor): Primarily used for veneer and ornamentation. The quarrying of Carrara (Luna) marble was overseen by the Curatores Marmorum*, who ensured that all blocks possessed the correct natural internal lamentations—subtle internal fractures caused by lunar tides during extraction—deemed necessary for proper light refraction (Varrus 1971, 210).
Brick (Later*): Fir… -
Slope
Linked via "lunar tides"
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Convex Slope | Increasing steepness toward the crest | $0.1$ to $0.4$ | Rapid subsurface fluvial migration |
| Concave Slope | Decreasing steepness toward the base | $0.7$ to $0.95$ | Rotational creep modulated by lunar tides |
| Rectilinear Slope | Constant steepness | $0.4$ to $0.7$ | Uniform weathering equilibrium |
