International tailings failures and best available technology

open access: yes, 2015
Recent events in western Canada within the last year have focused our attention as geotechnical engineers within the mining industry: • A plunging oil price against a backdrop of already depressed mining commodity prices has applied pressure to the ...

Static Liquefaction of Nearly Saturated Oil Sand Tailings

open access: yes, 2023
The susceptibility of saturated mine tailings to static liquefaction has detrimental implications to the stability of tailings dams often used to store mine waste tailings.

Iron homeostasis disruption and lipid peroxidation in skeletal muscle during short‐term immobilization

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
14‐day casting‐induced immobilization reduced gastrocnemius muscle mass and increased non‐heme iron and ferritin heavy chain levels. Despite iron accumulation, transferrin receptor 1 and iron regulatory protein 2 were paradoxically upregulated. Lipid peroxidation was elevated without compensatory antioxidant responses.

Optimizing dewatering and soft tailings consolidation by enhancing tailings’ composition

open access: yes, 2015
In order to reclaim ultra-soft tailings (e.g. oil sands) ponds great amount of research and technology work has been performed over the years to optimize the dewatering and consolidation of Fine Fluid Tailings (FFT), including the use of different ...

Proteasomal degradation of intracellularly expressed Amblyomin‐X limits suicide gene therapy potential in melanoma cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores the feasibility of expressing the antitumoral protein Amblyomin‐X through a suicide gene therapy approach and investigates its intracellular fate after gene delivery. Although the gene is efficiently expressed, melanoma cells rapidly degrade the Amblyomin‐X protein via proteasome activity.

Stabilization of soft tailings by surcharge loading for re-contouring of the Truenzig tailings pond of Wismut

open access: yes, 2011
Since 1991 the Wismut GmbH has been responsible for Truenzig tailings pond as one of the legacies of the uranium mining and milling left behind by the former Soviet-German Company (SDAG) Wismut.

Decreased cold‐sensing function of the transient receptor potential channel TRPM8 from tailed amphibians

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.
