An XRF analyser suitable for measuring up to 15 liters of slurry has been tested in the laboratory. A range of slurries consisting of approximately 40 wt% solids and low concentrations of tantalum were obtained and measured. The accuracy of the analyser has been determined to be ±2 ppm (1 sigma). Improvements are planned that will significantly increase the speed and accuracy of the analyser an...

For both tasks, we used the PADRE retrieval system [1], in which the Okapi BM25 relevance function was implemented. Each message in the collection was treated as an independent document, so both topic distillation scoring and same site suppression mechanism were turned off (i.e. -nocool and –SSS...
