Some vaguely explored (but not trivial) costs of tail autotomy in lizards
(2007)
Lizard tail autotomy is considered an efficient anti-predator strategy that allows animals to escape from a predator attack. However, since the tail also is involved in many alternative functions, tailless animals must ...
Dissolved pollutant transport in tailings ponds
(SPRINGER, 2005-06)
Water and dissolved ion transport in mineral tailings was studied at laboratory scale with three different tailings samples. Percolation rate, determined in column experiments, depends mainly on the granulometric distribution ...
Analytical solutions for the flow depth of steady laminar, Bingham plastic tailings down wide channels
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018)
At mid to high concentrations, fine mine tailings are non-Newtonian, and their rheology is commonly expressed as Bingham plastic. Discharges of such fine materials in tailing storage facilities form shallow channels. In ...
An example of a heavy tailed distribution.
(2011-10-13)
We study some properties of the distribution function of a random variable of the form
X = CD, where C and D are independent random variables. We assume that C is absolutely
continuous and limited to a nite interval, ...
Co-occurrence interaction networks of extremophile species living in a copper mining tailing
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
Copper mining tailings are characterized by high concentrations of heavy metals and an acidic pH, conditions that require an extreme adaptation for any organism. Currently, several bacterial species have been isolated and ...
The influence of seawater on magnetite tailing rheology
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd It is well known that seawater affects mineral beneficiation, especially in the presence of fine particles. In the present paper, the effect of seawater fraction on the rheology of unflocculated fine ...
Seawater flocculation of clay-based mining tailings: Impact of calcium and magnesium precipitation
(Elsevier, 2020)
In areas where access to water of good quality is limited, the use of seawater in mineral processing can be an option. However, the dewatering of waste tailings is adversely affected, particularly when this follows processing ...
Changes in the sorption, desorption, distribution, and availability of copper, induced by application of sewage sludge on Chilean soils contaminated by mine tailings
(2012)
The effect of mine tailings and sewage sludge was evaluated on sorption, desorption, availability and distribution of copper in two soils, one high (sandy soil) and one low in copper (clay soil). In both soils contaminated ...
Variations in the width, density, and direction of the Palomar 5 tidal tails
(IOP, 2020)
Stars that escape globular clusters form tidal tails that are predominantly shaped by the global distribution of mass in the Galaxy, but also preserve a historical record of small-scale perturbations. Using deep grz ...
Evaluation of nitrate leaching from mine tailings amended with biosolids under Mediterranean type climate conditions
(2007)
Mine tailings arc difficult to revegetate due to the lack of organic matter, severe nutrient limitations, and potential metal toxicity. Biosolids has been shown to be favorable for improving properties of mine tailings. ...
