Predicting washability using a regression of ash content with controlled rock to coal mix ratio specimen used for calibration

MATEC Web of Conferences
Accurate information on coal washability characteristics is crucial for optimizing beneficiation processes. This study investigates the use of dual-energy X-ray transmission (DE-XRT) in predicting ash content and specific gravity (S.G.) by employing a structured calibration approach. A total of 36 coal samples from a British Columbia mine were analyzed

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

Mechanical behavior of mixed rock-ice deposits in high-latitude mountainous areas

Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering
The mixed rock-ice deposits in high-latitude areas usually come from the accumulation of rock-ice avalanches. Melting tests and temperature-controlled triaxial tests were conducted on rock-ice mixture samples with varying volumetric ice contents (0.25, 0.

Biomarker characteristics of Montney source rock, British Columbia, Canada

Heliyon, 2021
Montney Formation (MF) source rock located in northeastern British Columbia (BC), Canada, was analyzed to determine its depositional conditions and organic matter source input other than to determine their level of thermal maturity. The high total sulfur
