THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
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.
The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

Mining (ore minerals and lessening the impact of mining)

An ore is a special type of rock that contains a large enough amount of a
particular mineral (usually a metal) to make it economically practical to
extract that mineral from the surrounding rock.
Not all minerals are found in a large enough amount in one location to make
it worth it to remove the ore from the rock, through a process known as
mining. Ores can be mined in a number of ways, including strip mining at
uranium mine.
The ore is always mixed with unwanted or valueless rocks and minerals that
are collectively known as gangue.

Magmatic or volcanic ores
ores form from the cooling and crystallization of minerals within magmas,
lavas, or igneous intrusions.
Carbonate alkaline ores
ores are formed from other igneous processes other than volcanic and
activity. Rare earth element ores and also some diamonds are part of the
carbonate alkaline group
Metamorphic ores
form from igneous processes; metamorphic ores often contain lead, zinc,
and silver, as well as some iron oxides.
Sedimentary ores
form also from igneous processes; deposits include banded iron
formations, and gold, platinum, zinc, tin, and even diamond-containing
ores that formed in sedimentary environments.

Surface mining is just what it sounds like - removing minerals that are near the
earth's surface because this is where the ore deposits are located.
Open-pit mining is a type of strip mining that is used when the ore deposits
are very large or ore deposits extend very deep in the ground. In this type of
mining, a large, open pit is created as machines scrape off any earth that is not
ore and set it to the side
In strip mining, instead of creating one large pit in the ground, long narrow
strips are dug out. The overburden is removed and piled up along the strip. Once
the ore is removed, the overburden is dumped back into the strip.
In subsurface mining, a long tunnel is created either horizontally or vertically.
The tunnel walls are reinforced with wood and ventilation shafts are created to
provide air to the miners underground. It is used when ores are found very deep
below Earth's surface - sometimes hundreds or thousands of feet deep.

6. Mineral Extraction from Ores
If there is a large enough amount present, the rock will be extracted and
processed in a variety of ways (depending on the type of mineral) to remove
the mineral from the surrounding rock.
Generally, the ore and the gangue are mined together—i.e., taken out of the
host rock in a mass by either mechanical or manual means. Then the ore is
separated from the gangue by various operations known collectively as
mineral processing, or ore dressing. The desired metallic element is then
extracted from the ore by various smelting, roasting, or leaching processes
Advances in hydrometallurgy have meant that some metals—such as copper,
uranium, and gold—can be removed from the host rock without drilling and
blasting. Special bacteria are sometimes used as part of this process. After
recovery, the metals may be still further refined (purified) or alloyed with
other metals, as in a copper refinery or steel mill. Mining, processing, and
refining are thus successive steps in the utilization of an ore deposit to yield
a metal.
Once they are extracted and processed, the minerals can be turned into
whatever products are desired, including the components in your cell phones
and computers. One of the best known metals, gold, is extracted from gold
ore like this sample.
7. Leaching is just the process of extracting a substance from a solid
material that has come into contact with a liquid.
In leaching, the liquid is very important as it facilitates the ability to
remove (or extract) a given substance from a solid matrix (i.e. material).
Smelting is a metal extraction process in which an ore (usually mixed
with purifying and/or heat generating substances such as limestone and
coke is heated at high temperature in an enclosed furnace. After a reducing
reaction, lighter ore-components (impurities called slag or tailing) rise to
the top and float on the molten metal. Smelting is opposite of roasting
which involves an oxidizing reaction
Roasting is a metallurgical process involving gas–solid reactions at
elevated temperatures with the goal of purifying the metal component(s).
In roasting, the ore or ores concentrate is treated with very hot air.
Some Processes of Mineral
Extraction in Ores
10. Effects of Exploitation and Massive
Extraction of Mineral Resources
1. De-vegetation and defacing of lands:
Mining requires removal of vegetation along with underlying soil mantle and
overlying rock masses. This results in destruction of landscape in the area.
2. Subsidence of land:
Subsidence of mining areas results in tilting of buildings, cracks in houses,
buckling of roads, bending of rail tracks and leaking of gas from cracked pipe
lines leading to serious disasters.

11. Effects of Exploitation and Massive
Extraction of Mineral Resources
3. Water pollution:
Mining pollutes the groundwater. Sulfur, usually present as an impurity in many
ores is known to get converted into sulfuric acid through microbial action, thereby
making the water acidic. Sulfur in one react with water and oxygen to form sulfuric
acid which leaks out from the mine. This is known as acid mine drainage. The acid
mine drainage often contaminates the nearby streams and lakes. It severally
degrades water quality, and can kill aquatic life and make water virtually unusable.
The radioactive substances like uranium, heavy metals also contaminate the water
bodies and kill aquatic animals.

12. Effects of Exploitation and Massive
Extraction of Mineral Resources
5. Air pollution:
In order to separate and purify the metal from other impurities in the ore, smelting
is done which emits enormous quantities of air pollutants. Oxides of sulphur,
arsenic, cadmium and lead etc. shoot up in the atmosphere near the smelters and
the public suffers from several health problems.
6. Noise Pollution:
The ground and noise vibrations are
produced during mining operations such
as drilling and blasting, movement of
mining equipment’s like shovels,
dumpers, drills, dozers, rippers etc.

7. Occupational Health Hazards:
Miners working in different type of mines suffer from
asbestosis, silicosis, black lung disease.

8. Rapid depletion of high grade minerals:
Increasing demand for high grade minerals has compelled miners to carry out more
extraction of minerals, which require more energy sources and produce large amount
of waste materials.
9. Destruction of Wildlife
As a result of deforestation, wildlife has been
affected since these forests served as their
habitat and source of food.

the Mining Industry

People can reduce the consumer goods they use or the content of minerals in
manufactured processes can be reduced. For example, instead of building more cars,
we could rely more on public transit.
This supervision of the manufacturing process is
essential in order to develop new ways of thinking,
new metrics, and new management/supervisory
tools that will help cushion the transition into more
efficient and less environmentally-harmful patterns
of resource
For example, structural beams might be designed to
be equally strong while using less steel.
15. Retrieved from : http://www.miningglobal.com/top10/515/Top-10-Ways-to-Make-Mines-More-Environmentally-Friendly
For example, plastics might be used instead of metal to build appliances. Or
biomass can be used instead of uranium to produce energy.
Mining process should be done as safely and efficiently as possible. For
example, aluminum can be substituted as a recyclable material rather than using
bauxite ore, which is a rarer and less reusable item.
For example, if tin cans are efficiently recycled, less material needs to be mined
to make cans.
Recycling copper, which takes seven times less energy than processing ore,
recycling steel which uses three-and-a-half times less energy than ore.
16. Retrieved from : http://www.miningglobal.com/top10/515/Top-10-Ways-to-Make-Mines-More-Environmentally-Friendly
Mines can be designed so that they produce less waste or
use less toxic chemicals.
By reducing the amount of wasteful use on a public and
private level, and by steering production towards the sole
use of durable goods that can be easily reusable, re-
manufactured, or recycled, the mining industry can begin
to reduce its impact on an international scale.
Make mining less destructive of the environment by
systematically examining environmental impacts and
adopting measures to mitigate these impacts
Governments can require mines to adopt increasingly
effective environmental procedures and invoke penalties for
failure to comply.
Strict observance of regulations will not only protect
environmental and public health, but that will improve the
lifespan of the mining industry
17. Retrieved from : http://www.miningglobal.com/top10/515/Top-10-Ways-to-Make-Mines-More-Environmentally-Friendly
Closing of illegal or unregulated mining activity will set an environmental
precedent within the industry.
Companies and governments can be held accountable for abandoned sites and be
required to carry out an environmental clean-up.
Like tax shifting, can be introduced to provide incentives for practices like product
substitution and disincentives for poor environmental performance.
18. The mining industry is one that is always in need of proper research and
development in order to make sure the industry to ever-changing with today’s
commitment to sustainability and turning the world into a more “green friendly’
place.
Collecting funding and allowing that funding to be dispersed into ROD funds for
Green Mining can be one way to positively impact the environment before and
after mining projects.
Green Mining can prevent unnecessary waste in the sense of less reusable
materials, better efficiency and a better understood industry.

19. Replenishing mine sites and mine environments is one of the key factors to not
only earning the respect and cooperation of those living near the mine, but will
ultimately protect the mine’s impact on the environment.
The entire reclamation process should include: removing hazardous materials,
reshaping land, restoring topsoil, and planting native grasses, trees or ground
cover natural to the site.
