Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Costs to heap leach gold ore tailings in Karamoja region of Uganda
1. PROJECT FINANCIAL REQUIREMENTS TO HEAP LEACH 50,000 METRIC TONS OF
GOLD ORE TAILINGS IN KARAMOJA (MORUITA) TO RECOVER AN ESTIMATED 90
KILOGRAMS OF GOLD
2. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The project is located in Nakapiripirit District in Uganda. Specifically in Moruita Sub-county, Acherer
village.
The intention is to heap leach 50,000 tons of gold rich tailings with an average yield of 1.8 – 2.5 grams
per ton. This will yield approximately 90 kilograms of gold with a value of about $5,400,000.
The project will be divided in phases of leaching cycles for cost management.
Each leaching cycle will have 5,000 tons, with a target of 9-10 kilograms of gold. The financial
requirements can be broken down into the leaching cycles.
HEAP LEACHING
Heap leaching is a process through which metals are extracted from the ore in which they are found. Heap
leaching is often chosen for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. As the need for resources increase, the
heap leaching industry has risen to the occasion with advancements creating an even more efficient leach.
One of which, is the process of agglomerating the ore prior to the leach.
In gold extraction technologies, the gold heap leaching process flow has been widely used because of
its simple process, low energy consumption, less equipment configuration, low capital construction
investment, and production cost, which is especially suitable for treating low-grade gold ore.
In production, the common gold heap leaching process flow mainly includes six stages: ore preparation,
leaching pad construction, heap building, leaching solution preparation, solution distribution and
collection, rich solution (precious solution) processing.
1. Ore preparation
The ore preparation stage mainly includes crushing, granulation, and pretreatment operations, whose
purpose is to improve the ore leachability and leaching pile permeability, avoid liquid flow irregularity,
3. blockage, ditch flow, and other phenomena, improve the recovery rate of gold ore and reduce the
consumption of leaching solution.
Crushing
Different crushing processes are carried out according to the ore properties and technological
requirements. The waste ore generally doesn’t need crushing (30%), the ore particle size after two-stage
crushing is 30-50mm (53%), and the ore particle size after three-stage crushing is 9-19mm (17%). It has
been proved that crushing is one of the key technical links to ensure the good permeability of ore and
improve the leaching rate of gold ore.
Granulation
The granulation is required first for the fine ore and high clay containing ore. Adding a certain amount
(3-6kg/t) of cement and lime adhesive to the ore, then adding an appropriate amount of sodium cyanide
solution, keeping the ore 8-12% of humidity, curing 8-12h, thus forming the ore group. The granulation
treatment improves the permeability of the ore heap, keeps the sufficient oxygen supply, dissolves the
gold by cyanide in advance, and greatly improves the gold leaching rate.
This process often uses a cylinder granulator, disc granulator, multi-section belt granulator.
Among them, the belt granulator can directly send the fine ore after the granulation to the heap leaching
field, while the cylinder granulator is especially suitable for the high clay-containing ore.
Pre-treatment
In the granulation process, sometimes it is necessary to add a leaching solution to pretreat the ore, whose
purpose is to improve the permeability of the leaching heap and the leaching rate of useful components
of the ore.
2. Leaching pad construction
In order to collect the rich liquid and prevent the leakage of the solution, the bottom of the yard should
be repaired and bedding before the heap building. The materials used in the construction of the leaching
pads are clay, sand, gravel, asphalt, reinforced concrete, plastic film, or rubber plastic plate. Depending
on the different materials, the thickness of the cushion layer is generally 300-600mm. The longitudinal
and transverse drainage ditches are paved with block ore in the cushion layer, and then a layer of large
ore is laid on the whole bottom plate to protect the bottom pad.
3. Heap building
The purpose of heap building is to make the ore pile have good and uniform permeability, and ensure
that the slope will not collapse. The height of the ore heap mainly depends on the permeability of the ore
heap, the content of the leaching agent in the leaching solution, the equipment, and the method used in
heap building.
Generally, the heap height is 3-9m, and the heap of raw ore can be as high as 46m. There are many ways
to build the heap, such as the multi-heap method, multi-layer method, slope method. Most of the gold
heap leaching plants often use cars, front-end loaders, bulldozers to unload ore to build the heap, and
timely loosen the heap.
4. Leaching solution preparation
The leaching solution used for leaching the useful components from gold ore is prepared with water and
leaching agent according to a certain formula. The common leaching agents include sulfuric acid, nitric
acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium
4. bicarbonate, ferric sulfate, chloride, sodium iodide, potassium iodide, ammonium sulfate, air, oxygen,
permanganate, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen peroxide, and chlorate. The formula and dosage of the leaching
solution need to be determined according to mineral species, mineral composition, and chemical
composition. Generally, the alkaline sodium cyanide solution is used in the gold heap leaching.
5. Solution distribution and collection
The solution distribution is to evenly spray the leaching solution on the top surface of the ore heap, and
the solution distribution system is composed of a liquid distribution pool, pump, infusion pipe and spray
pipe and spray device laid on the ore heap.
Take spray as an example, the spray pipe network uses high-strength polyethylene plastic pipe, the spray
head uses the rotary swing sprinkler head with a wide spray radius, large and uniform spray droplets,
which is not easy to atomize, and convenient to install.
In the spraying process, one is to make the leaching solution evenly sprayed on the ore heap, another is
to achieve the required spraying intensity, that is, the amount of spraying per unit area in unit time,
usually 0.1-0.4L/m•min, the spraying time accounts for about 1/3 to 1/2 of the total time. After spraying,
the rich solution from the bottom of the heap enters the solution collecting tank through the solution
ditch and then is pumped to the workshop.
6. Rich solution (precious solution) processing
The gold is extracted by carbon adsorption and desorption electrolysis (or zinc dust replacement
precipitation). The activated carbon becomes the gold-loaded carbon due to the absorption of gold in the
pulp. After the completion of the adsorption operation, the gold carbon-containing pulp is sent to the
carbon screen through the air lifter to separate the pulp and activated carbon. After screening and
washing, the pulp is sent to desorption and electrolytic operation.
Under the high temperature and high pressure, the anions easily adsorbed by activated carbon are added
to the desorption system, and Au(CN)2- is replaced to obtain gold slime and carbon poor, so as to realize
the desorption of gold. The precious liquid obtained by desorption of gold-bearing carbon is recovered
by ionization to obtain the solid gold.

African Minerals Standards (AMIS) inorder to maintain and monitor quality control to eliminate errors
in results. The laboratory is a member of American society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) where
all methods for testing are adapted from.
The Laboratory Quality Control Program – is an essential aspect of ensuring that data released is fit for
the purpose determined by the quality objectives (i.e. accuracy and precision).
The programme is properly executed so that quality control samples can monitor the various aspects of
data quality on a routine basis. In instances where performance falls outside acceptable limits, the data
produced is questioned and, after investigation, a determination made as to its validity. Nesch Mintech
has professional experience and a common sense approach to quality control for ensuring that only
quality data is released. The dual foundations of the laboratory quality control program is its internal
quality control, composed of day-to-day and sample-set to sample-set monitoring of analytical
performance, and its external QC, based on the laboratory’s performance in proficiency testing
programs. The QC data generated is recorded in such a manner to detect trends.
QC schemes utilized for Nesch Mintech Laboratory consist of:
a) Reference material (CRMs) or Quality control samples
b) Use of alternative instrumentation that has been calibrated to provide traceable results;
c) Functional check(s) of measuring and testing equipment;
d) Use of check or working standards with control charts, where applicable;
e) Intermediate checks on measuring equipment;
f) Replicate and duplicate tests or calibrations using the same or different methods;
g) Retesting of retained items;
h) Correlation of results for different characteristics of an item;
j) Intra-laboratory and interlaboratory comparisons;
k) Testing of blind sample(s) and blanks.
l) Retained samples are subjected to repeat testing for a single sample in each batch of 50 samples after
every 1 month for 3 months to monitor the performance of the laboratory tests with time
16. 9
m) Nesch Mintech laboratory monitors its performance by comparison with results of other laboratories,
where available and appropriate. This monitoring is planned and reviewed and include, but not limited
to, either or both of the following:
- Participation in proficiency testing and Participation in interlaboratory comparisons.
n) Data from monitoring activities shall be analysed, used to control and, if applicable, improve Nesch
Mintech laboratory’s activities. If the results of the analysis of data from monitoring activities are found
to be outside pre-defined criteria, appropriate action shall be taken to prevent incorrect results from
being reported.

32. JIN CHAN - Patented Metallic Ore Dressing Agent
Instructions of JIN CHAN Metallic Ore Dressing Agent
I. Introduction to JIN CHAN
1. Scope of application:
① Applicable ore types: gold and silver ore, cyanidation slag, gold concentrate, pyrite cinder, lead and zinc
cinder, anode mud and other materials containing gold and silver.
② Applicable beneficiation process: dump leaching, pool leaching and CIP process, etc.
2. Product form: Granular or powder form.
3. Dissolution: It can be used after being fully dissolved in water by full stirring under normal temperature. The
concentration of this agent should be 10% to 20%.
4. pH value of pulp or solution: The pH value is usually adjusted with lime or caustic soda to 10.5 to 11.5.
5. Dosage:
① It is recommended to determine the agent consumption and concentration at the leaching rate under the
optimum conditions through the beneficiation test. The agent should be added according to test results during
production on site.
② For easy-to-leach ore, refer to the original dosing system for sodium cyanide.
6. Product use: in accordance with the conventional cyaniding process.
7. Others:
1 JIN CHAN has the best effects at the normal temperature, but it should not be used at a temperature below
10℃.
2. It is recommended to regularly test the gold content of pregnant and barren solution, as well as the pH value of
solution or pulp and JIN CHAN concentration.
3. Hydrogen peroxide, potassium permanganate and other strong oxidants are not recommended to be mixed
with JIN CHAN (pretreatment is allowed), to prevent the consumption of part of JNCHAN.
4. The use of ammonia, sodium sulfide, potassium ferricyanide, lead nitrate and other chemical agents in
complex ore pretreatment has little impact on JIN CHAN gold leaching.
5. A little of black insoluble slag generated after dissolution of JIN CHAN will not affect the reagent use.
6. JIN CHAN has no adverse impact on gold and silver leaching when mixed with sodium cyanide.
7. “Rich-oxygen leaching” in the CIP (carbon-in-pulp) process may have adverse impact on leaching with JIN
CHAN.
8. The unpacked or damaged reagent must be used up as soon as possible, in order to prevent failure due to
exposure to air.
II. Test of JIN CHAN concentration in leaching solution
1. Vessels and reagents: one 1,000ml brown glass flask, one 100ml brown dropping glass, one 100ml beaker,
one 25ml brown burette, one 10ml pipette, one suction bulb; propanone and distilled water.
2. Reagent preparation: (reagents shall be stored in brown glass bottles to avoid heat and light)
① Indicator: put a whole bottle of red reagent (sample A) into 100ml acetone solution, then shift it into 100ml
brown dropping glass, and keep this reagent sealed without exposure to light.
② Test reagent: put a whole bottle of white reagent (sample B) into 100ml distilled water till it is fully dissolved,
shift it into the 1,000ml brown glass flask, add distilled water to 1,000ml, shake the solution, and keep this reagent
sealed without exposure to light.
3. Operating steps:
1) Use the 10 ml pipette to adsorb 10ml JIN CHAN solution to be tested, put it into the 100ml conical flask, add
33. JIN CHAN - Patented Metallic Ore Dressing Agent
5 drops of indicator, and shake the solution up (till it turns yellow).
2) Carry out titration with the test agent via the brown burette, shake the bottle up while dropping. At the same
time, observe the color change until the solution turns from yellow to light red. Read the consumption V (ml)
of the test agent.
3) Calculation: JIN CHAN concentration (‰) = 0.33 × V
(Example: If the consumption of the test agent is 0.5ml, the JIN CHAN concentration of the solution under test
is 0.165‰.)
4. Precautions for product transportation, storage and use:
1. Main components of JIN CHAN series of environmentally friendly and efficient gold leaching agents include
carbonized sodium cyanate, alkaline thiourea, alkaline salt and other mixtures. It has been identified as an
environmentally friendly gold leaching agent by third-party test agencies, and can be used for extraction of gold,
silver and other precious metals.
2. This product must not be used for illegal exploitation of minerals or recycling of mineral resources and
precious metals without approvals of authorities.
3. This product has hygroscopicity, so it must be stored separately in a dry and ventilated room.
4. This product shall be used in neutral or alkaline aqueous solution and must not be mixed with acidic
chemicals.
5. This product shall not be in direct contact with people or animals during transportation, storage and use. In
case of accidental exposure, the skin shall be rinsed with running water.
6. The place where this product is used shall be ventilated. In addition, pulp, leaching solution, tail liquid and
slag must not be discharged out of the production system. Backwater shall be recycled, and slag shall be stacked in
the designated place.
The disposal measures and emission concentrations of wastewater and slag shall comply with relevant national and
industry standards or norms stipulated by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment or other competent departments
in charge of environmental supervision.
