Physically based 3D finite element model of a single mineralized collagen microfibril [PDF]
Journal of Theoretical Biology 301 (2012) 28-41, 2012 Mineralized collagen microfibrils in human bone provide its mechanical properties (stiffness, elasticity, ductility, energy dissipation and strength). However, detailed 3D finite element models describing the mechanical behaviour of the mineralized collagen microfibrils are still lacking.

Characterizing relationships between primary miners in Ethereum by analyzing on-chain transactions [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 It is widely accepted that Ethereum mining is highly centralized. Nonetheless, centralization has been mostly characterized by exclusively looking at the influence that independent miners or mining pools can have over the network. Moreover, models of mining behavior assume that miners are either unrelated or only relate via mining pools under highly ...

Reductive roasting of iron-rich manganese oxide ore with elemental sulfur for selective manganese extraction [PDF]
Journal of Mining and Metallurgy. Section B: Metallurgy, 2017 It is very important to selectively reduce manganese oxide over iron oxide for extraction of Mn from iron-rich manganese ore. In this study, reductive roasting of an iron-rich manganese oxide ore with elemental sulfur as reductant was ...

How large are departures from lithostatic pressure? Constraints from host-inclusion elasticity [PDF]
, 2015 Minerals trapped as inclusions within other host minerals will develop non-lithostatic pressures during both prograde and retrograde metamorphism because of the differences between the thermo-elastic properties of the host and inclusion phases.
