Mineral Reserves under Price Uncertainty
National reporting organizations and regulatory bodies for the minerals and mining sector are requiring publicly reported OreReserve estimates to take account of uncertainties. Whilst methodologies that account for physical uncertainty appear relatively well developed, methodologies which can take account of economic uncertainty appear much less so. To counter this shortfall, we present an effi...

tween a ‘‘declining’’ and a ‘‘healthy’’ sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) stand in Vermont, USA. The declining stand had lower basal area increment and more crown dieback than the healthy stand. Soil pH and base cation content were lower and soil water content was higher at the site of the declining stand than at the site of the healthy stand, whereas soil temperature did not differ significa...
متن کاملThe role of osteocytes in bone regulation: mineral homeostasis versus mechanoreception.
Early work on the role of osteocytes in bone regulation suggested that the primary function of these cells was osteolysis. This lytic function was not precisely defined but included mineral homeostasis and at least the initiation of matrix remodeling, if not a primary role in remodeling. This paper is an attempt to promote the concept of osteocytic osteolysis as a method of systemic mineral hom...
متن کاملPrimary cultures of chick osteocytes retain functional gap junctions between osteocytes and between osteocytes and osteoblasts.
The inaccessibility of osteocytes due to their embedment in the calcified bone matrix in vivo has precluded direct demonstration that osteocytes use gap junctions as a means of intercellular communication. In this article, we report successfully isolating primary cultures of osteocytes from chick calvaria, and, using anti-connexin 43 immunocytochemistry, demonstrate gap junction distribution to...
متن کاملOsteocytes as multifunctional cells.
Bone is often thought of as being a passive, inactive tissue like a skeleton hanging in the anatomy lab. Often, bone tissue is envisioned statically in terms of two dimensions similar to a 'shapshot' of a histology slide. However, quite to the contrary, bone undergoes considerable turnover as compared to other organs in the body. Modeling during growth is dramatic and even in adult bone, 2-5% t...
