Could LC-NE-Dependent Adjustment of Neural Gain Drive Functional Brain Network Reorganization? by Carole Guedj, David Meunier, Martine Meunier, Fadila Hadj-Bouziane

“…Accordingly, as a reset signal, the LC-NE system could trigger brain network reorganizations in response to salient information in the environment and/or adjust the neural gain within its target regions to optimize behavioral responses. Here, we provide evidence of the co-occurrence of these two mechanisms at the whole-brain level, in resting-state conditions following a pharmacological stimulation of the LC-NE system. …”

Selective Flotation of a Copper-molybdenum Bulk Concentrate from Xizang by Jinming GUO, Hongying YANG, Shiqi ZHANG, Linlin TONG, Zhenan JIN, Qin ZHANG

“…The main reasons for this are the low separation efficiency of copper and molybdenum and the poor quality of molybdenum concentrates. The optimal grinding fineness, pulp concentration and agent system are determined through condition tests: the mixed concentrate is not ground, that is, the particle size -0.045 mm accounts for 67.87%, the pulp concentration is 40%, and the mixed inhibitor sodium hydrosulfide: sodium thioglycolate=2.5:1. …”
