Recent theories of concepts have raised the issue of how people combine simple concepts (like engine and repalr) to form complex concepts (like engine repalr). This article approaches this issue by asking how people comprehend modified noun phrases of this sort. One explanation of how complex concepts are understood (the feature weighting model) provides a simple mechanism in which the primary ...

Since 2010, Nigerian state and federal governments and the international community have been responding to an outbreak of lead poisoning caused by the processing of lead-containing gold ore in Zamfara State, Nigeria, that resulted in the deaths of approximately 400 children aged ≤ 5 years. Widespread education, surveys of high-risk villages, testing of blood lead levels (BLLs), medical treatmen...

We show that the computation of the Popov form of Ore polynomial matrices can be formulated as a problem of computing the left nullspace of such matrices. While this technique is already known for polynomial matrices, the extension to Ore polynomial matrices is not immediate because multiplication of the matrix entries is not commutative. A number of results for polynomial matrices are extended...

Recent research on BIF-related high-grade iron ore mineralization has resulted in new genetic models that emphasize the structurally controlled hypogene alteration and upgrade of BIF to high-grade (>65% Fe) iron ore. Conventional structural and stratigraphic mapping and reconstructions of the tectonic history of iron districts, in combination with high-tech geochemical analyses such as laser IC...

kalchoye copper-gold deposit is located about 110 kilometers east of esfahan province and within the eocene volcano sedimentary rocks. sandy tuff and andesite lava are important members of this complex.the form of mineralization in area is vein and veinlet and quartz as the main gangue phase. the main ore minerals are chalcopyrite, chalcocite, galena and weathered minerals such as goethite, iro...

Modern microscopes of all kinds (optical, electron, scanning probe) are controlled by software and have digital image acquisition. This setup allows many integrated tasks to be run under the control of automation routines like, for instance, specimen scanning and automatic focusing. Additionally, some microscopes can be fully automated. Thus, it is possible to integrate specimen scanning, image...

When R is a local ring with a nilpotent maximal ideal, the Ore extension R[x;σ, δ] will or will not be 2-primal depending on the δ-stability of the maximal ideal of R. In the case where R[x;σ, δ] is 2-primal, it will satisfy an even stronger condition; in the case where R[x;σ, δ] is not 2-primal, it will fail to satisfy an even weaker condition. 1. Background and motivation In [13, Proposition ...

Bioleaching is technologically feasible for extraction of manganese from low grade ores (containing manganese less than 35% by weight). The principle involves the non-enzymatic reduction of pyrolusite [Mn(IV) oxides] to +2 oxidation state by fungi with the production of metabolites such as oxalic acid and citric acid. In the present investigation, a fungal strain, Penicillium citrinum was isola...

A weighted graph is a graph provided with an edge-weighting function w from the edge set to nonnegative real numbers. Bondy and Fan [Annals of Discrete Math. 41 (1989), 53– 69] began the study on the existence of heavy cycles in weighted graphs. Though several results with Dirac-type degree condition can be generalized to Ore-type one in unweighted graphs, it is shown in [Bondy et al., Discuss....
