maximizing economic earnings is the most common goal in cut-off grade optimization of open-pit mining operations. when this is the case, the price of the product has a critical effect on optimum value of cut-off grade. this paper investigates the relationship between optimum cut-off grade and price to maximize total cash flow and net percent value (npv) of operation. in order to visualize this ...

Metal price is one of the most important parameters in the calculation of cut- off grade. The cut- off grade has the main role in determination of mine layout. Mine layout actuates mineable reserve, mine life and economic profitability. Not considering the uncertainty in metal prices can lead to a non-optimal layout. In this paper optimum underground mine layout is determined by expected utilit...

For multilevel-coded modulation, the cut-off rate of multiple antenna systems over frequency-flat, fast fading channels is derived. Following Wozencraft’s approach, a closed-form expression for the cut-off rate is obtained as a function of energy ratio per dimension It is shown that the maximum value of cut-off rate increases linearly with the number of transmit antennas. key words: cut-off rat...

background: we investigated whether the lungheart ratio parameter (lhr) can be used to identify the optimum cut off frequency for butterworth filter in 99mtc myocardial spect imaging. materials and methods: this study involved a cardiac phantom system consisting of cardiac insert in which 1.10 cm cold defect was inserted into its myocardium wall and filled with 4.0 μci/ml (0.148 mbq/ml) 99mtc c...
