The covariance of increasing spinel Cr# and olivine Mg# (“the olivine-spinel mantle array” or “OSMA”) has been used as a sensitive indicator for the melting history of mantle peridotites. The basis for this model has been largely empirical thus far. In this study, the most recent THERMOCALC-based...

Software libraries provide reusable code that allow developers to include needed functionality without committing time and effort to develop the functionality themselves. To benefit from the code reuse, developers first compare multiple libraries that offer the needed functionality and spend time...
