Bacterial preoxidation of Stillwater Complex, MT, platinum-group metal flotation concentrate and recovery of plantinum-group metals by cyanidation and other leachants [PDF]
"In research conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Mines, platinum-group metal (PGM) flotation concentrate from the Stillwater Complex, MT, was subjected to biooxidation using thiobacillus ferrooxidans in an effort to break down the sulfide minerals and ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Investigation of the surface properties of gangue minerals in PGM bearing ores
Bibliography: leaves 90-95.The recovery of Platinum Group Minerals (PGM) and associated sulphides by froth flotation from the Bushveld Igneous Complex is complicated by the presence of naturally floatable gangue minerals such as talc.

Chemical Compositions and Paragenesis of the Platinum-group Element Minerals in the Jinchuan Sulfide Deposit, Gansu Province, China [PDF]
A variety of platinum group minerals (PGM) occurs in the Jinchuan deposit, China. Four different PGM assemblages have been distinguished as follows: The first group, mainly sperrylite, occurs within altered olivines.

Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...

Polarized microscopic images of the outer bone cortex (a and b) and deeper trabecular bone (c and d) of the deer calcaneus in thin cross‐sections. The brighter gray levels reflect more oblique‐to‐transverse collagen fibers in the compression/dorsal bone (a, c) and the darker gray levels reflect more longitudinal collagen in the tension/plantar bone (b,
