Ablution in Christianity

Two significant differences are that when his mantle is placed on him, its hem is torn to form bands, with which his body is bound (like Lazarus in the tomb), and his klobuk is placed on his head backwards, so that the monastic veil covers his face (to show that he had already died to the world, even before his physical death).

In order to give a complete, definitive description it must also be added that it is smaller than either the Rufous-naped Lark (M. africana), or the Red-winged Lark (M. hypermetra); that it is more greyish and marked on its mantle than either the Singing Lark (M. cantillans), or the Pink-breasted Lark (M. poecilosterna); and that its bill is not as thick as the former, and that it lacks the pinkish breast of the latter.

Bassel al-Assad

Bassel Assad's death led to his lesser-known brother Bashar al-Assad, then undertaking postgraduate training in ophthalmology in London, assuming the mantle of President-in-waiting.

Bivalve shell

The mantle, a thin membrane surrounding the body, secretes the shell valves, ligament and hinge teeth.

Don L. Anderson

Another of his hypotheses is that the theory of convective mantle plumes in the Earth, as proposed by W. Jason Morgan, is invalid and that hotspots and oceanic islands such as Hawaii or Iceland are rather caused by chemical/mineralogical anomalies in the upper mantle.

Emil Todt

By 1856 Todt was considered one of the leading artists in Melbourne, although this mantle was shortly afterwards claimed by Charles Summers.

Fred Van Buren

The performance mantle has, however been passed on to their son Andrew Van Buren, a multi-talented performer who is recognised as the top expert in Variety specialising in the family trade of magic & illusions, also mixing in circus skills of juggling, unicycling, escapology & plate spinning, he keeps the Van Buren flag flying high over entertainment venues all over the world with his illusion spectaculars & is one of the worlds top platespinner experts.

Geophysical dynamics

Geodynamics, the study of the dynamics of the Earth's mantle and core

Lampsilis cardium

Lampsilis cardium accomplishes this by having the inner sides of its mantle flaps marked with longitudinal stripes, resembling a small fish of the genus Notropis.

Maud, Countess of Huntingdon

Maud of Huntingdon appears as a character in Elizabeth Chadwick's novel The Winter Mantle (2003), as well as Alan Moore's novel Voice of the Fire (1995) and Nigel Tranter's novel David the Prince (1980).

Narcissus Flycatcher

F. (n.) elisae, increasingly separated as Chinese Flycatcher or Green-backed Flycatcher (Ficedula elisae, Weigold, 1922), breeding endemic to northeast China, wintering south to Vietnam and Malaysia, breeding males lack a bold supercilium, have an olive-green crown, and mantle instead of black, and lemon-yellow underparts

OIB

Ocean island basalt, mainly alkaline mantle plume generated intra-plate basalts

Peter Rees Jones

Jones initially took a position with a draper in Hackney before moving on to apprenticeships with William Tarn in Newington and then Stagg & Mantle at Leicester Square.

Petromax

Petromax is a brand name for a type of pressurised paraffin lamp (US:kerosene lamp) that uses a mantle.

Pseudofeces

The unwanted material is periodically ejected (usually through the inhalant siphon or aperture) by contractions of the adductor muscles, which "clap" the shells together, pushing most of the water out of the mantle cavity and forcibly ejecting both the feces and the pseudofeces.

Ratu Adil

The mantle of Ratu Adil has been claimed by a number of persons in recent Indonesian history, including Prince Diponegoro, Sultan Hamengkubuwono IX, President Sukarno and Dutch military officer Raymond Westerling.

Regalia of Serbia

Together with these is a golden mantle (buckle) of unknown origin which is believed to have been captured by the Serbs from the Ottomans at Brasov.

Respiratory system of gastropods

Most have the typical lung arrangement described above, but in the Athoracophoridae, the mantle cavity is replaced by a series of blind tubules, while the Veronicellidae respire through their skin, and have lost the lung altogether.

Ringwoodite

It was named after the Australian earth scientist Ted Ringwood (1930–1993) who studied polymorphic phase transitions in the common mantle minerals, olivine and pyroxene, at pressures equivalent to depths as great as about 600 km.

Rinty Monaghan

The mantle of undisputed champion of the world rested on his shoulders after his defeat of the tough Scottish fighter Jackie Paterson on 23 March 1948.

Somali Boubou

It resembles the Red-naped Bushshrike L. ruficeps but has no red nape, is black, not grey, on the mantle, and is washed buffy-yellow on throat and breast.

Troodos Ophiolite

Along with the alkaline character of the plagiogranites it can be assumed that the spreading ridge of the Troodos was situated above a subduction zone, but the mantle from which lavas were extruded was that of mantle that had recently lost a melt fraction.

Volcanic plume

Mantle plume, or volcanic plume, an upwelling of abnormally hot rock within the Earth's mantle, which can cause volcanic hotspots

Volcanism

Movement of molten rock in the mantle, caused by thermal convection currents, coupled with gravitational effects of changes on the earth's surface (erosion, deposition, even asteroid impact and patterns of post-glacial rebound) drive plate tectonic motion and ultimately volcanism.
