Mechanism of Action of a New Type of Collector SAA in the Separation of Magnesite and Quartz by Yishen SUN, Pan GU, Jin YAO, Wanzhong YIN, Haoran SUN, Feijia XUE, Shuo YANG

“…The results of single-mineral flotation tests showed that SAA has high selective trapping ability for quartz, and SAA can effectively remove quartz from magnesite in mixed-mineral flotation with different ratios. Through the zeta potential measurement, it is found that the addition of SAA trapping agent makes the isoelectric point of magnesite and quartz surfaces positively shifted, and the isoelectric point of quartz surfaces positively shifted intensity is much larger than that of magnesite, which indicates that SAA has better selectivity. …”

Analysis of patient safety messages delivered and received during clinical rounds by Diane Levine, Jaya Gadivemula, Raya Kutaimy, Srinivasa Kamatam, Nagaratna Sarvadevabatla, Prateek Lohia

“…In internal medicine, clinical rounds have always played an important role in education; however, the patient safety content taught at the point of care is not well studied. We studied, both quantitatively and qualitatively, the number and nature of patient safety messages delivered by attending physicians to determine what is taught at the point of care and how well this is recognised and recalled by attending physicians, residents and medical students.Methods This prospective mixed methods study was conducted on the medicine teaching service. …”

Researching The Relation Between The Communicative Approach And Types Of Syllabi To Language Teaching by Fatima Bendoukha

“…The current paper is designed to give the learning/ teaching population an idea about the philosophy of using certain tools of instruction and thereby describe the communicative as well as learner-centred¬ approaches and their underlying roles in language teaching especially when they are used and viewed in a holistic approach. The second point is that language designers are not only obliged to determine the necessary syllabuses to meet the needs of the language learners but also how they could be selected and mixed to reach the learning objectives. …”
