The relation between breakage mechanisms and liberation is critical in mineral processing. Recent studies underline the importance of texture in liberation. This study reviews relevant liberation models and proposes a new method for generating particles using image processing algorithms. One new texture simulation method and its relevance for liberation simulation is also introduced.

While the CPI may have overstated inflation in the mid-1990s by about one percent per year, as concluded by the Boskin Commission, it does not make sense to extrapolate that rate of bias backwards over long periods of time. The "Hulten-Bruegel paradox" shows that any such exercise in backward extrapolation yields levels of real consumption two or four centuries ago that are implausibly low, bar...

in this work, a bench-scale process was developed using mineral-processing methods to recover iron from a placer deposit located in bardaskan, khorasan-e-razavi, iran. the mineralogical studies were performed by x-ray diffraction (xrd), x-ray fluorescence (xrf), electron probe micro-analyzer (epma), and an optical microscope. these studies indicated that titanomagnetite, magnetite, and hematite...

We provide a formal study of belief retraction operators that do not necessarily satisfy the (Inclusion) postulate. Our intuition is that a rational description of belief change must do justice to cases in which dropping a belief can lead to the inclusion, or ‘liberation’, of others in an agent’s corpus. We provide two models of liberation via retraction operators: σ-liberation and linear liber...

In Burkina Faso, women make up nearly 52% of the population, but they account for less than 20% business start-ups. This paper seeks to identify factors that explain entrepreneurial intent Burkinabe women. It is based on socio-cognitive career theory and a quantitative approach involving sample 935 The results multinomial logistic regression show five variables (perception skills, fear failure,...

The liberation-theology movement was partly inspired by the Second Vatican Council and the 1967 papal encyclical Populorum progressio. Its leading exponents include Gutierrez, Leonardo Boff of Brazil, and Juan Luis Segundo of Uruguay. The liberationists have received encouragement from the Latin American bishops, especially in resolutions adopted at a 1968 conference in Medellin, Colombia; othe...
