Disturbances in mineral and bone metabolism are prevalent in chronic kidney disease and an important cause of morbidity, decreased quality of life, and extraskeletal calcification that have been associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO)'s Global Mineral and Bone Initiative has sought to update the definition, evaluation, and classifica...

This paper provides a review of the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER), Advanced Land Imager (ALI), and Hyperion data and applications of the data as a tool for ore minerals exploration, lithological and structural mapping. Spectral information extraction from ASTER, ALI, and Hyperion data has great ability to assist geologists in all disciplines to map the d...

the study area covers the northern part of the baft geological map (scale of 1:100 000 ). several porphyry and vein-type mineralization are reported from this area. a topic that is discussed in the mineral exploration community is the use of remote sensing and airborne geophysics for porphyry type mineralization. which one is more reliable and efficient in hydrothermal alteration mapping? airbo...

Measurements that describe and summarize quantitative predictions relating to the classification of geological variables and samples derived from geochemical and geophysical data sets are important because of the large amount of information contained in such data. Methods considered in mineral resource quantitative prediction include quantification theory, which is able to deal with data includ...

The Jiaodong Peninsula hosts the main large gold deposits and was first production area in China; multisource multiscale geoscience datasets are available. is biggest drilling mineral-exploration zone China. This study used three-dimensional (3D) modeling, geology, ore body alteration to extract synthesize mineralization information analyze exploration targeting Zhaoxian deposit northwestern Pe...

Highlighting both the problems of composing and acquiring mineral rent, and the procedures and forms in which the rent is reflected in the price of mining products and energy resources are basic premises to emerge specific methodological elements of economic management of mineral resources. As our researches revealed, contractual duties represent one of these elements. Hence, the problem of new...

This account is a progress report on geological mapping and field data compilation around part of the southern Cordillera LITHOPROBE transect in the lntermontane Belt. Objectives included integrating and improving the surface geological database for interpretation of the 1988 Vibroseis survey and reassessing the geological setting of mineral occurrences in the area. The transect route lies in t...

EFFECTS OF CARBONATION ON THE MINERAL COMPOSITION OF CEMENT KILN DUST By Cecilia P. Anderson Department of Geological & Mining Engineering & Sciences

Regional exploration and identification of anomalies can be done by geochemical data resulted from stream sediments. In this paper, fractal methods of concentration-number and concentration-area were used for regional studies, and abnormalities of elements including gold, arsenic, bismuth and mercury were studied. Statistical processing of these elements took place with the help of 1063 samples...
