STUDIES OF MINERAL COMPOSITION OF ORES OF THE KUMTOR DEPOSIT (CENTRAL TIEN SHAN) BY QXRD AND XRF METHODS by A.G. Shevkunov, A.A. Guda, A.A. Skorynina, S.W. McKnight

“…During the experimental work, the optimal parameters of elemental analysis and scanning of samples were selected, which allow maximum information with minimal time and expenses. The experimental analyses enabled us to estimate the semi-quantitative content of major ore-forming non-metallic and ore minerals and to establish the possible presence of minerals previously unknown in the composition of ores (barytocalcite, viterite, ferrinatrite, etc.). …”

Validation of a Novel Landmark-guided Intra-articular Postero-medial Surgeon-administered Injection Technique by Nicolas S. Piuzzi, MD, Andrew I. Spitzer, MD, Jason Mussell, PhD, Ignacio Pasqualini, MD, Stan Dysart, MD, Jeffrey Gonzales, MD, Michael A. Mont, MD, Jess H. Lonner, MD, William Mihalko, MD, PhD

“…Results: This technique consistently reached the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve, nerve to the vastus medialis muscle, and posterior capsule, with minimal proximal dye spread. Conclusions: This technique may be an efficient complement to ACB or surgeon infiltration or an alternative to US-guided ACB when it is not available.…”

Temporal interactions among carnivores in an anthropized landscape of the coastal mountain range in southern Chile by García-Solís Fernando, Zúñiga Alfredo H., Rau Jaime R., Encina-Montoya Francisco, Garcés Cristóbal

“…Therefore, these species must readjust their requirements to minimize interactions derived from competition. For two years, activity patterns of two native carnivores (the cougar Puma concolor and the chilla fox Lycalopex griseus), one exotic carnivore (the domestic dog Canis lupus familiaris) and people were evaluated in an anthropogenic landscape in southern Chile. …”
