 English | 2022 | ISBN: 3030926613 | 354 pages | pdf, epub | 73.49 MB This collection presents papers from a symposium on extraction of rare metals as well as rare extraction processing techniques used in metal production. It covers metals essential for critical modern technologies including electronics, electric motors, generators, energy storage systems, and specialty alloys.Rare metals are the main building blocks of many emerging critical technologies and have been receiving significant attention in recent years. Much research in academia and industry is devoted to finding novel techniques to extract critical and rare metals from primary and secondary sources. The technologies that rely on critical metals are dominating the world, and finding a way to extract and supply them effectively is highly desirable and beneficial.Rapid development of these technologies entails fast advancement of the resource and processing industry for their building materials. Authors from academia and industry exchange knowledge on developing, operating, and advancing extractive and processing technologies. Contributions cover rare-earth elements (magnets, catalysts, phosphors, and others), energy storage materials (lithium, cobalt, vanadium, graphite), alloy elements (scandium, niobium, titanium), and materials for electronics (gallium, germanium, indium, gold, silver). The contributions also cover various processing techniques in mineral beneficiation, hydrometallurgy, separation and purification, pyrometallurgy, electrometallurgy, supercritical fluid extraction, and recycling (batteries, magnets, electrical and electronic equipment).

It investigates the ranking aggregation problem and the related features, such as input/output data, simplification hypotheses, importance hierarchy of experts. In addition to a well-structured overview of several interesting, consolidated methodological approaches, it presents innovative approaches that can also be applied profitably in other fields. The fascinating selection of topics included is based on research that has been developed in the past twenty years. The descriptions are supported by figures, tables, flowcharts, diagrams, examples and practical case studies.

This type of sampling is an alternative to simple random sampling and can offer substantial improvements in precision and efficient estimation. There are different methods within RSS that can be further explored and discussed. On top of being efficient, RSS is cost-efficient and can be used in situations where sample units are difficult to obtain. With new results in modeling and applications, and a growing importance in theory and practice, it is essential for modeling to be further explored and developed through research. Ranked Set Sampling Models and Methods presents an innovative look at modeling survey sampling research and new models of RSS along with the future potentials of it. The book provides a panoramic view of the state of the art of RSS by presenting some previously known and new models. The chapters illustrate how the modeling is to be developed and how they improve the efficiency of the inferences. The chapters highlight topics such as bootstrap methods, fuzzy weight ranked set sampling method, item count technique, stratified ranked set sampling, and more. This book is essential for statisticians, social and natural science scientists, physicians and all the persons involved with the use of sampling theory in their research along with practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in the latest models and methods for ranked set sampling.

Global risks are defined in this study as having a global geographical scope, an inter-industrial presence, and exceptionally critical stages of economic and social participation that necessitate a major multi-stakeholder input. In addition, global risks demand an extremely extensive priority in decision-making allowance. The theoretical and practical results of this work are strongly connected to several quite useful factors. The present work mainly concentrates on the contribution of probability theory in the advancement of the practical applicability of global risk governance. More precisely, the work introduces structural stochastic concepts and fundamental stochastic results for the formulation of stochastic models of various global risk governance operations particularly valuable in proactive treatment of several groups of global risks.

The nutcracker syndrome (NCS) is a syndrome caused by NCP, resulting in hematuria, proteinuria, or left flank pain.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 0367643405 , 0367436612 | 230 pages | True PDF | 10.26 MB Herbicides are of great importance in weed management and are one of the most widely used pesticide groups for weed control across the globe. Concerns around the residual effects of these intensively used chemicals are equally widespread. Offering a new direction for research that focuses on herbicide behavior and its impacts on the environment, this book covers the use of radioisotopes in weed research and the detoxification of herbicides.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1911383477 | 176 pages | True EPUB | 2.67 MB Despite its ubiquity, revenge is a surprisingly understudied subject. We're all familiar with the urge for payback, but where does that urge come from? Why is it so hard to give up? And why can some people only satisfy it through extreme and brutal acts? This book addresses these questions, and by developing the concept of radical revenge it gives some meaning to what might otherwise appear to be senseless acts of violence. The author explores some of the most egregious examples of radical revenge in contemporary society, including mass shootings, internet trolling, revenge porn, and contemporary populist politics. Drawing on psychoanalytic ideas about shame, envy and thin-skinned narcissism, she discusses why some people feel compelled to engage in these sorts of destructive acts of radical revenge. She looks too at examples such as the work of Artemisia Gentileschi and David Holthouse, to show that in exceptional cases, revenge can be an act of creativity rather than destruction.

Through analysis of everyday scenes across different social locations in the city, he documents the often slow, difficult work of picking up the pieces of one's life and moving them around-and the worlds that fade and the ones that become visible in the process. He shares the stories of a disillusioned anarchist organizer, an exhausted nurse helping a father search for his lost daughter, a misunderstood Romani man rejected by his friends and family, and an undocumented migrant who discovers hope in the trash-stories of individuals finding solace and possibility within, with, and against the tragedies of their lives.
