Mineral resource activities in Antarctica were brought to the agenda at 6th Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting (ATCM) held Tokyo for first time 1970. The Convention on Regulation of Resource Activities (CRAMRA), which regulates issue detail, could not enter into force after France and Australia decided sign Convention. Protocol Environmental Protection (PEPAT) was signed Special ATCMs that t...

Abstract Purpose The assessment of potential environmental impacts associated to mineral resource use in LCA is a highly debated topic. Most current impact methods consider the extraction resources as issue concern, while their dissipation an emerging concept. This article proposes approach account for life cycle inventories (LCIs), with application case study. Methods definition first discusse...

The depletion of non-renewable natural resources (primarily mineral and energy resources) its assessment is a problem that analyzed based on the concept sustainable development. Mineral resource particularly important for resource-based economies. It provides assessing impact asset disposal results from suspension or termination operations conducted by mining company due to insurmountable circu...

Hyperphosphatemia management is integral to the management of patients with chronic kidney disease. This mineral abnormality is associated with greater costs, but so is its management, especially with the use novel phosphate binders. The economic evaluation of these pharmaceutical agents is increasingly needed to provide evidence for value of money spent and inform resource allocation. Recently...

Background In order to meet the challenges presented by increasing demand and scarcity of resources, healthcare organizations are faced with difficult decisions related to resource allocation. Tools to facilitate evaluation and improvement of these processes could enable greater transparency and more optimal distribution of resources.   Methods The Resource Allocation Performance Assessment Too...

The Mineral Potential Project is an initiative that provides predictions of resource abundance in the province and has been described by Kilby (1995). Ian this project, resource assessment is carried out on specified tracts of land, referred to as mineral assessment tracts. These tracts are generalizations of contiguous geological tracts that share a common tectonic history and metallogeny and ...

The main objective of the present survey is to conduct a comparative analysis of the challenges of the performance evaluation system in two private and public sectors and their impact on effectiveness of human resources management practices. This survey was conducted using the field-descriptive method. The historical study method was used to collect theoretical subjects and the field study meth...

Diamonds formed during the Proterozoic and Archaean and are in-homogenously distributed in the mantle below Archaean cratons. Kimberlite magmas usually form well within the diamond stability field and physically incorporate seemingly random amounts of diamonds during their ascent through the mantle. The diamond content of a kimberlite magma arriving at the earth’s surface is defined by ascent p...
