Adopting a policy and deciding on long-term investment in the mining industry by a government orprivate sector actors depends strongly on the ability to predict the scarcity of mineral reserves. Changein scarcity of mineral reserves is a function of several technological and non-technological factors.Among them, change in technology is the most significant factor affecting scarcity. This paper ...

In recent years stable isotopes of metallic and semi-metallic elements have become popular as tracers in studies of nutrition and metabolism. There are several recent reviews on the use of stable isotopes of the mineral elements (Janghorbani & Young, 1980; Janghorbani et af . 1985). The orientation of these reviews has tended toward neutron-activation analysis in conjunction with the faecal iso...

In materials science, one of the new concerns in the construction industry, it is well established that mineral dust from rocks (stones) has adverse effects on human health. For instance, it is suspected that some mineral dusts in particular leads to occupational diseases, including lung cancer. The present research concerned the relationship between cancer and those workers who work in Turkish...

An increasing number of low-grade gold ore deposits are characterized by the presence of gold as solid solution into the mineral matrix of sulphide minerals which is not directly amenable to gold cyanidation. In order to liberate this submicroscopic gold the ore has to be oxidized before being subjected to gold cyanidation and exctraction. This is mainly done by autoclave pressure oxidation (AC...

although economic and managerial literature is replete with studies that probe about productivity but only a few studies decompose it to its components (technological changes, managerial efficiency changes and scale efficiency changes)and analysis their share in productivity changes (positively or negatively). accordingly, this article attempts to explain the issue by decompose productivity to ...
