The recovery of gold by ore leaching is influenced by the size of the particles and the chemical environment. The effect of particle size on the dissolution of gold is usually studied using mono-size particles as the gold in solution comes from the ore of a unique leached particle size. This paper proposes a method to estimate the gold dissolution as a function of particle size using a bulk ore...

In this paper, we present a shoe suggestion system for children. The system stores the database about children’s shoes from K1-K3 and P1-P3. The attributes considered are types of shoes, shoe sizes, brands. Given a type of children foot and age, the system suggested the type of shoes, brands, and sizes with the confidence level. The system uses the data mining technique for the classification a...

Eighty-one patients with definite or probable MS alive in Florence on May 1st 1976 were interviewed regarding their occupation at onset of the disease. Five of the 41 patients working at the time had worked in shoe a leather factories. The relative...

This paper describes how SHOE, a set of Simple HTML Ontological Extensions, can be used to discover implicit knowledge from the World-Wide Web (WWW). SHOE allows authors to annotate their pages with ontology-based knowledge about page contents. In previous papers, we discussed how the semantic knowledge provided by SHOE allows users to issue queries that are much more sophisticated than keyword...

The present paper describes a case of shoe contact dermatitis from DMF identified by the Poison Control Centre of Milan (PCCM), Italy, in 2009. A 35 year old woman was affected by irritant reactions while wearing shoes contaminated with DMF. Exposure to these shoes was limited to a 8 hour period and was not repeated. In the following days the patient suffered feet blistering and swelling limite...

Background In-shoe pressure measurement devices are commonly used in research and clinical settings to quantify pressure on the plantar foot. Various in-shoe pressure measurement devices are currently available and they differ in their size, number of sensors, sensor type and therefore their loading response and accuracy. Previous comparisons focus on pressure plates [1]. An in-shoe study highl...
