In this work, the concentration gradient (CG) analysis of local-scale exploration for Porphyry-Cu deposits is applied in two zones using the G(Vz) index (CG(Zn*Pb)/CG(Cu*Mo)). The first zone is covered by a 1:2000 map of the Sungun and Astamal areas in NW Iran and the second one in the Inza area in British Columbia, Canada. The rock samples are taken from Sungun and Astamal and the soil samples...

T study was motivated primarily by the author’s interest in numerical methods at both a teaching and research level. Much has already been written about “standard” Mathcad 6 and the purpose of this article is to focus on, and use, some of the features of Plus 6 which are not available in the standard version. In particular the use of the programming facility, which comes with Plus 6, is illustr...

Stylometry is the study of the computational and mathematical properties of style. The aim of a stylometrist is to derive stylometrics and models based upon those metrics to quantitatively gauge stylistic propensities. This paper presents a method of formulating a stylistic distance function via a weighted ratio of lexical stylometrics, the higher the ratio the more the styles diverge. The coef...

We consider the generalized airfoil equation in the situation where the index of the problem is −1. We periodize the problem, then discretize it by a fully discrete version of the trigonometric collocation method and apply the conjugate gradient method to solve the discretized problem. The approximate solution appears to be of optimal accuracy in a scale of Sobolev norms, and the N parameters o...

A method of two-step gradient capillary electrochromatography (CEC) was developed to measure 12 carbonyls (aldehydes and ketones) in indoor air samples. The carbonyls were derivatized with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) and then separated by a two-step gradient CEC on a C8 column. Effects of various instrumental conditions on the separation, including buffer concentration, organic modifiers,...

Using equations obtained in a previous analysis, results are computed numerically which illustrate the effects of diffusion and viscosity on faecal excretion patterns of markers in ruminants. Results are first given for plug flow, a velocity gradient produced by viscosity, and diffusion, each mechanism operating alone. Plug flow gives a period during which no marker appears in the faeces, then ...

Gradient sensing underlies important biological processes including morphogenesis, polarization, and cell migration. The precision of gradient sensing increases with the length of a detector (a cell or group of cells) in the gradient direction, since a longer detector spans a larger range of concentration values. Intuition from studies of concentration sensing suggests that precision should als...

To develop a simple and effective method of islet isolation and purification in rats. Collagenase P was injected into pancreatic duct followed by incubation in water bath to digest the pancreas and isolate islet, then discontinuous gravity gradient purification was used to purify the islet. The purified islets were identified by dithizone staining. The viability of islets was assessed by fluore...
