Monazite [(Ce,Th)PO4] from the Llallagua tin ore deposit in Bolivia is characterized by low radiogenic element contents. Previously reported field evidence and mineral associations suggest the mineral formed via direct precipitation from hydrothermal fluids. Monazite compositions thus may provide insight into characteristics of the fluids from which it formed. Chemical compositions of three Lla...

introduction bacterial meningitis is a known infectious disease which occurs at early ages and should be promptly diagnosed and treated. bacterial and aseptic meningitis are hard to be distinguished. therefore, physicians should be highly informed and experienced in this area. the main aim of this study was to suggest a system for distinguishing between bacterial and aseptic meningitis, using f...

Nigeria is richly endowed in convertible natural resources of which solid minerals are a member of the endowments. However, the country is basically a mono-product economy based on its vast oil deposit accounting for over 84% of foreign earnings and 25% of GDP. The triple challenges of the volatile nature of global oil politics, achieving the objectives of the millennium development goals and t...

Magmatic and stratigraphic settings exert a first order control on the formation of various mineral deposit types. Some sating are rich in mineral wealth while others are barren. Stratigraphic setting is of particular importance where stratif&m or stratabound minerill deposits are concerned x orebodies are commonly restricted to specific stratigraphic intervals. For example. within the area bou...

In 1975, Social Security beneficiaries were given the option of having their monthly benefit payments sent directly to their banks through an electronic funds transfer system. Since then, beneficiaries have been enrolling in this program in rapidly increasing numbers. At the end of 1976, fewer than 5 million beneficiaries--14 percent of the total--were enrolled in the program. By the end of 198...

Resources/reserves classification is crucial for block model creation utilised in mine planning and feasibility study. Selection of estimation methods is an essential part of mineral exploration and mining activities. In other word, resources classification is an issue for mining companies, investors, financial institutions and authorities, but it remains subject to some confusion. The aim of t...

A re-examination of the El Dragón vein-type Se deposit using polarized light microscopy and scanning-electron microscopy combined with electron-microprobe analyses revealed the following results: the detection of (a) petříčekite, krut’aite and penroseite close to endmember composition; (b) a yet unknown mineral of the ideal composition CuNi2Se4; (c) intermediate members of the vaesite-pyrite so...
