Forest soil carbon (C) storage is a significant component of the global C cycle, and is important for sustaining forest productivity. Although forest management may have substantial impacts on soil C storage, experimental data from forest harvesting studies have not been synthesized recently. To quantify the effects of harvesting on soil C, and to identify sources of variation in soil C respons...

our civilization is based on metals, among other life supports. the existing ore deposits are becoming rapidly depleted by almost exponentially increasing demand and production and major new ore discoveries are needed. mineral exploration is supported by modern tools and scientific ideas, but geological characteristics of orebodies and their rock associations have still to be visualized.the tim...

The primary coexisting mineral with galena is sphalerite. Hence, it critical to selectively separate from sphalerite by flotation. In this work, thiourea and related derivatives as potential flotation collectors for separating were investigated. Thiourea its found be effective selective in batch studies of a single mineral, 1,1-diphenylthiourea (11DTA) emerging the best choice. Galena has super...

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is increasingly common in adolescent girls and occurs at a time of peak bone mass formation. Osteopenia is common in adolescent girls with AN, and in a cross-sectional study, we have reported low bone formation markers in such girls. To determine the impact of chronic undernutrition on bone mineral accrual in contrast to healthy controls, we prospectively measured bone min...

The pulp rheology is an important factor affecting flotation performance. Gangue minerals have a significant impact on the rheological property of smithsonite (ZnCO3). complex (high viscosity, poor dispersion) will adversely affect grade and recovery concentrate. To address this problem, effect gangue (kaolinite, calcite, quartz) behavior was investigated with measurement test. results showed t...
