Identification of the vertical and horizontal distributions for elemental grades is of an important sign in different mineral exploration stages. The main aim of this work is to determine the vertical distribution directional properties of Cu values in the Milloieh Cu porphyry deposit, Kerman (SE Iran) using the power-law frequency fractal model. This work is carried out based on four mineraliz...

BACKGROUND Metastatic bone disease is a frequent cause of morbidity in patients with advanced breast cancer, but the role of the bone mineral hydroxyapatite (HA) in this process remains unclear. We have developed a novel mineralized 3-D tumor model and have employed this culture system to systematically investigate the pro-metastatic role of HA under physiologically relevant conditions in vitro...

Landsat 8 OLI data, Aeromagnetic and Radial Vertical Electrical Sounding (RVES) survey data were integrated to map lithology, delineate structures their trends, possible mineralized zones in the area. yielded a color composite image, surface lineaments of The aeromagnetic maps utilized subsurface structures. A radial confirmed fractures derived from structural maps. Results classified area into...

Abstract The Mesoproterozoic Aggeneys-Gamsberg ore district, South Africa, is one of the world´s largest sulfidic base metal concentrations and well-known as a prime example Broken Hill-type deposits, traditionally interpreted metamorphosed SEDEX deposits. Within this Gamsberg deposit stands out for its huge size strongly Zn-dominated ( >14 Mt contained Zn). New electron microprobe analyses ...

the sorkheh deposit in northwestern iran exhibits several readily visible general characteristics of sediment-hosted stratiform copper (ssc) mineralization. it consists of fine-grained disseminated base-metal sulfides within gray sandstones (gray beds, the basal whitish miocene sandstone and shallow-water) that overlie a thick sequence of red beds (miocene upper red formation). the host gray be...

The Alta Floresta Gold Province (PAAF) is abundant in gold deposits and, located the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, an ideal place to study geoelectric signature mineralization. Auriferous mineralization occurs along shear zones quartz veins and disseminated granites this region. Ores are associated with oxides sulfides, mainly pyrites. To identify primary or continuities mineralized zones, data...

Although the beneficial effects of perfusion on cell-mediated mineralization have been demonstrated in several studies, the size of the mineralized constructs produced has been limited. The ability to quantify mineralized matrix formation non-invasively within 3D constructs would benefit efforts to optimize bioreactor conditions for scaling-up constructs to clinically relevant dimensions. In th...

Stable carbon isotope fractionations between dissolved inorganic carbon and lipid biomarkers suggest photoautotrophy by Chloroflexus-like organisms in sulfidic and nonsulfidic Yellowstone hot springs. Where co-occurring, cyanobacteria appear to cross-feed Chloroflexus-like organisms supporting photoheterotrophy as well, although the relatively small 13C fractionation associated with cyanobacter...
