Most microstructures are fabricated by photolithography, which needs masks to define the specific patterns, and the successive exposure, developing and etching steps. A maskless fabrication process has been developed on the other hand. The designed micro patterns are written on the specimen by laser guiding to build or repair micro structure rapidly rather than using the time-consuming mask fab...

The Mouteh refractory pyrite concentrates at pulp densities of 1.5%, 3%, 4.5% and 6% were treated, using Thiobacillus ferrooxidans DSM 581 and the same bacteria adapted on the Mouteh pyritic concentrate. Compared with a non-adapted culture, use of an adapted inoculum of T. ferrooxidans increased bioleaching rate of iron by a factor of 1.940, 2.011, 1.859 and 1.559 for pulp densities 1.5%, 3%, 4...

With the financial protection of National Iranian Copper Industries Company, the composition of bacterial populations in Aliabad copper mine was investigated by electron microscopy and by analysis of DNA obtained from bacteria after ores laboratory cultures. This analysis consisted of the characterization of the spacer regions between the 16 and 23s genes in the bacterial rRNA genetic loci afte...
