The analysis of historical mortars refines our knowledge of mortar composition and thus gives important information about the technology of mortar manufacturing of some period, indicates provenience of the applied raw material and eventually enables us to reconstruct original mortar. This study summarizes some results of historical mortars research that was part of several conservation-restoration projects or archaeological excavations during the past few years in Slovenia.
F.27 Contribution to preserving/protecting natural and cultural heritage
COBISS.SI-ID: 811102Eclogites formed deep within the Earth's interior due to ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism. Protolith rocks of gabbroic and basaltic composition were subducted into the ultrahigh-pressure realm. Due to very high pressure and temperature conditions they were metamorphosed to eclogitic compositions. On the basis of detailed petrological and microchemical analysis, pressures of 4 GPa and temperatures of 900 °C, for eclogite formation were calculated. Obtained PT conditions correspond to the depths of 120 km and thus offer suitable environment for the crystallization of diamonds.
F.28 Organising an exhibition
COBISS.SI-ID: 761845The paper presents an analysis of relationships between the fractal dimensions of natural fracture networks in dolomites. These dimensions are usually determined in 1-D or 2-D environment, but the data used for modeling or further analyses must be in 3-D. Therefore the extrapolation to higher dimensions is essential for the understanding of the geometry of natural objects. On the used samples it has been presented that the method is suitable, and such extrapolation is possible.
F.02 Acquisition of new scientific knowledge
COBISS.SI-ID: 810078Applications of fractals in the study of groundwater flow and mass transport are very rare and presently popular research field in the world, and generally karstic and fractured aquifers are still inadequately analyzed. The lecture has been successful and has improved international relationships between faculties with researchers and teachers, and those students attending the exam have been given ETCS points.
B.04 Guest lecture
COBISS.SI-ID: 790622The Slovenska Bistrica ultramafic complex occupies the south-eastern most part of the Pohorje Mountains, which represent an exhumed piece of continental crust subducted during the Cretaceous Eo-Alpine orogeny. The SBUC is composed of serpentinised harzburgites with local occurrences of garnet lherzolite. Garnet lherzolite in the SBUC recorded an UHP stage (4 GPa, 900°C). The protolith of the harzburgites is probably oceanic mantle, considering the high degree of melt depletion yet the lack of a subduction-zone signature.
