The study of diagenesis in rocks is used to understand the geologic history they have undergone and the nature and type of fluids that have circulated through them.From a commercial standpoint, such studies aid in assessing the likelihood of finding various economically viable mineral and hydrocarbon deposits.he term diagenesis, literally meaning across generation, is extensively used in geology. However, this term has filtered into the field of anthropology, archaeology and paleontology to describe the changes and alterations that take place on skeletal (biological) material.
Retributive justice. Retributive justice is a theory of justice which holds that the best response to a crime is a proportionate punishment, inflicted for its own sake rather than to serve an extrinsic social purpose, such as deterrence or rehabilitation of the offender.
In cardiology, hibernating myocardium is a state when some segments of the myocardium exhibit abnormalities of contractile function.These abnormalities can be visualised with echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), nuclear medicine (PET) or ventriculography.Echocardiography: A wall motion abnormality at rest which improves during a low-dose dobutamine stress test is classified as hibernating myocardium.Low dose dobutamine stimulates contractile function and thus helps to predict functional recovery after revascularization.his is probably the most accurate way to visualise scarred myocardium. An alternative (or additional) technique with CMR is the use of low dose dobutamine similar to echocardiography. PET: The finding of a perfusion or metabolic mismatch between PET-FDG and PET-NH 3 is indicative of decreased metabolism.
