Manganoan ilmenite from the Leinster Granite, Ireland

Manganilmenite in the Magnetite Ore Body from Pokphur Area of Nagaland, North East India and the Possibility of Microdiamonds in the Ophiolites of Indo-Myanmar Ranges

“…While magnesian ilmenite commonly occurs in kimberlites, manganoan ilmenite is characteristic of alkaline rocks, carbonatites and granites 6 . The concentrations of manganese in ilmenite can be explained by two hypotheses 5 . First, ilmenite could crystallize from melts that are enriched in Mn relative to Fe (ref.…”

“…Profound biochemical changes occur in the haemolymph during metamorphosis. Haemocyte count of insects is a good indicator of their physiological preparations during growth and adulthood 4 because pathogens are important factor of mortality in all developmental stages 5 . A majority of the existing studies on haemolymph are confined to the insects of families Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera and Hymenoptera [6][7][8][9] , and a few studies exist on coleopteran insects 5,10-13 including the only study on the beetle of Coccinellidae, Coccinella septempunctata L., which is a generalist predator of aphids 13 .…”
