Bauxite is mined and transported by conveyor to a processing plant, screened and washed, then placed into blended stockpiles to feed the alumina refinery. While being stacked to the stockpile, the ore is sampled. Completed stockpiles must be acceptably close to target grade (composition), not only in alumina, but also in residual silica, carbon and sodium carbonate. The mine is an open-cut pit....

Ore algebras are an algebraic structure used to model many different kinds of functional equations like differential and recurrence equations. The elements of an Ore algebra are polynomials for which the multiplication is defined to be usually non-commutative. As a consequence, Gauß’ lemma does not hold in many Ore polynomial rings and hence the product of two primitive Ore polynomials is not n...

A Microsoft Excel macro is described that enables rapid recognition of common opaque minerals. The program uses ore mineralogical features such as reflectance, anisotropy, bireflectance, Vickers Hardness and morphological features (bladed crystals, zoning and twinning) to identify possible candidates from a database of 200 common ore minerals. Reflectance can be estimated from the uncorrected l...

This study investigated the effect of oxygen and micro-cracking on the flotation of low grade nickel sulphide ore. The ore treated contained serpentine minerals which have a history of being difficult to process efficiently. The use of oxygen as a bubbling gas has been noted to be effective because it increases the pulp potential. The desired effect of micro cracking the ore is that the nickel ...

A number of speech errors ore examined which ore difficult to account for by top-down serial processing models of speech production which hove independent levels of processing. In porticulor, most of these errors ore characterized by the presence of on interfering element which is external to the utterance under current construction. This paper has two main aims: to classify these errors, and t...

Simulation technique has been used for a feasibility study of a prospecting project for deep seated ore bodies. The simulation model is divided into three main parts; 1) The bedrock model the mathematical model of the geology in the investigated block.. 2) The ore model the mathematical model of the "economical" targets within the investigated block. 3) The drilling model the mathematical descr...

There has been much work in exploiting the potential field relationships to extract information from the data. Kanasewich and Agarwal in 1970 explored the validity of examining the magnetization to density ratio in the wavenumber domain as an interpretation tool. Directly combining magnetic and gravity derived gravity gradient data in the spatial domain through the Poisson relation has been acc...

Truncated Gaussian Simulation (TGS) is a well-known method to generate realizations of the ore domains located in a spatial sequence. In geostatistical framework geological domains are normally utilized for stationary assumption. The ability to measure the uncertainty in the exact locations of the boundaries among different geological units is a common challenge for practitioners. As a simple a...

LetR be a finitely generated commutative algebra over an algebraically closed field k and let A = R[t;σ, δ] be the Ore extension with respect to an automorphism σ and a σ-derivation δ. We view A as the coordinate ring of an affine non-commutative space X. The inclusion R → A gives an affine map ξ : X → SpecR, and X is a non-commutative analogue of A 1 ×SpecR. We define the fiber Xp of ξ over a ...

The subresultants play a fundamental role in elimination theory and computer algebra. Recently they have been extended to Ore polynomials. They are de ̄ned by an expression in the coe±cients of Ore polynomials. In this paper, we provide another expression for them. This expression is written in terms of the \solutions" of Ore polynomials (in \generic" case). It is a generalization of our previou...
