Academic literature on the topic 'Temora Gold Mine'

In electromagnetic (EM) exploration for conductive targets, measurements of the magnetic component or its time derivative have received more theoretical attention and practical application than have measurements of the electric component. However, the electric component can be shown to be particularly useful in the search for resistive zones not usually detected by the magnetic component. Normalized measurements of the surface voltage differences caused by the constant current induced at late time by the UTEM transmitter are called 'Inductive Source Resistivity' or ISR measurements.Data collected on a grid located just south of the Temora gold mine in N.S.W. clearly show the effectiveness of the ISR technique in detecting a resistive zone of silicification located unconformably under 10S of conductive cover. Due to the relatively slow falloff of the electric field from an inductive source, the technique is ideal for the rapid exploration of large areas.

Biogeochemistry has been utilized successfully in Australia as a regional or fellow-up geochemical exploration techniques in the arid terranes of Australia. This Master's study is based on the biogeochemistry approach, which relies on the chemical analysis of plant tissues to obtain information on the geology and geochemistry of the underlying rocks. The project involved the systematic sampling and chemical analysis of plant materials and the supporting soils to establish the suitability of using particular tree species for environmental monitoring and their potential as a sample medium in geochemical exploration in the vicinity of the Temora Gold Mine, NSW, Australia. Working on 168 plant tissues (leaves, twigs and bark) in 54 plants species from 8 families at the three sites of background area, mineralized area and tailings area, and 54 supporting soil samples from three strata of 0-5 cm, 20-30 cm, and 30-40 cm, found that there was a good agreement between soil geochemistry and plant geochemistry on the result of a strong geochemical association between Au and As. The As-Au pattern was suggestive of the presence of the Au-As mineralization. Black cypress pine (Callitris endlicheri) LEAVES show a higher ratio of Asminjn/Aumin in the mineralized area than ASbkg/Aubkg in the background area, up to 7 times. The research finding suggests that the LEAVES of Black cypress pine (Callitris endlicheri) have a potential to be a biogeochemical sample medium as better indicators for Au. Golden wattle (Acacia pycnantha) BARK and Yellow box (E. melliodora) BARK appear to be better indicators for Au but more research is required. The most occurrence of anomalies of As, Au, Sb, Cu and Fe were found in Red box (E. polyanthemos) BARK. Red box (E. polyanthemos) BARK may have the potential to be an Au indicator in the area when Red box (E. polyanthemos) is present. Results on test-tolerant plants show that Eucalyptus species: Red box (E. polyanthemos), Coral gum (E. torquata), and Yellow box (E. melliodora) have a higher rate of uptake trace elements from the tailings soils. Therefore, Eucalyptus family generally adapted to metal-rich soils and can be used as cleaning-up indicators and environmental monitors for the tailings area of metal contaminated soils in the Temora Gold Mine.

This completes my account of Kant’s critical idealism, understood as an ontological position, as developed in the Critique and associated theoretical writings. According to Kant, the world, understood as the sum total of everything that has reality, comprises several levels of reality, most importantly, the transcendental level and the empirical level. The transcendental level is a mind-independent level at which Kantian things in themselves exist; the empirical level is a mind-dependent level at which Kantian appearances exist. Things in themselves are mind-independent, appearances are fully mind-dependent. Things in themselves and appearances are numerically distinct and do not ontologically overlap in any way. Kantian outer appearances essentially are intentional objects of outer experience; Kantian inner appearances essentially are intentional objects of inner experience. Empirical objects are Kantian outer appearances, empirical space and time are constituted by the spatial and temporal determinations of outer appearances, pure space and time are (nothing but) forms of sensibility, and empirical selves, or empirical minds, are Kantian inner appearances. In contrast to other intentional objects, such as the intentional objects of fictions, dreams, hallucinations, illusions, and perceptions, Kantian appearances genuinely exist, that is, they exist from the point of view of fundamental ontology. This is due both to the special character of experience, in particular, the special character of outer experience and its conformity to Kant’s formal conditions of objectivity, and to the grounding of Kantian appearances in things themselves. Kantian things in themselves transcendentally affect sensibility and thereby bring about sensations, which provide the ‘matter’ for Kantian appearances and underwrite their existence. Kantian things in themselves are supersensible, non-spatial, and non-temporal, as well as distinct from God and thus finite. Each inner appearance is grounded in a unique Kantian thing in itself that is a human transcendental mind, and all outer appearances are grounded in Kantian things in themselves that are distinct from all human minds. What we commonly call ‘the external empirical world’ exists, including empirical space and time. Accordingly, there is also at least one Kantian thing in itself that is not a human mind. Moreover, there is at least one human being, that is, an entity whose ontologically basic parts include, minimally, a body (which is an empirical object), an empirical self (which is an empirical mind), and a transcendental self (which is a human transcendental mind). Since other intentional objects that are not Kantian appearances, although not genuine existents, are not nothing but have some reality and being, it is useful to conceive of Kantian reality as including yet another mind-dependent level to provide a home for these other fully mind-dependent entities—even if this conception goes beyond the direct textual evidence and may also go beyond Kant’s private, explicitly articulated thoughts on the matter. The ultimate basis for Kant’s case for transcendental idealism is the finitude of the human mind and, more specifically, its fundamentally uncreative nature in which this finitude manifests ...

William Sorley argued that God provides the best and most rational and unified view of reality, the ground of both the natural and moral orders. What a close look reveals is that Sorley’s approach, rather than dated, remains a lively, instructive, and powerful model to follow. Whether he was integrating or reconciling various pieces of natural theology—the causal and moral, is and ought, reality and value, life and work, finite and infinite goods, the temporal and transcendent, the moral law and evil, philosophy and poetry, or morality and metaphysics—his was an expansive and integrative mind and an open and capacious heart whose prescient insights have proven the test of time. He demonstrated what long and intimate acquaintance with the world of ideas can generate, and his enduring example can serve as an inspiration and corrective to much of what passes for apologetics today.

The expression ‘Mesozoic Mammals’ refers to more than simply the mammals of that particular period of time; it also stands for an extraordinary and quite mysterious concept. From the first appearance in rocks of Late Triassic times of the small, obviously highly active, large-brained animals thought of as mammals, through the following 145 million years of life on earth culminating in the great end-Cretaceous mass extinction that saw the end of the dinosaurs, these animals remained small. Although probably far from rare at the time, the great majority of species of Mesozoic mammals were of the size of shrews, rats, and mice. A tiny handful managed to evolve to the body size of foxes or beavers, but there were no representatives at all of mammals the size of the prominent mammals of today, the herbivorous horses, antelopes, and elephants, the lions and wolves that feed upon them, or the specialist apes, whales, and anteaters. Two points highlight just how odd this restriction in body size is. The first is that the Mesozoic mammals represent no less than two-thirds of mammalian evolution from their origin to the present, so there was plenty of time for evolution, and an extensive radiation did indeed occur producing a plethora of taxa. The second is that somewhere along the line, the potential for evolving large body size certainly existed because within, metaphorically speaking, moments of the end of the Mesozoic Era, middle-sized and soon thereafter large mammals had arisen and were flourishing. Since their very earliest recognition by Dean William Buckland (Buckland 1824) from the Middle Jurassic Stonesfield Slate of Oxfordshire, Mesozoic mammals have generated controversy (Desmond 1985). Transformationists like Robert Grant denied that they were mammals, because it disturbed their accepted temporal sequence of Mesozoic reptiles preceding the exclusively Tertiary mammals. On the other hand, establishment figures like Buckland himself and Sir Richard Owen welcomed this apparent refutation of transformationism and had no doubt that they were indeed opossum-like mammals. In the end, the true nature of these fossils was accepted, and by 1871, a good number of undoubtedly Mesozoic localities had yielded undoubtedly mammalian fossils.

The goal of educational methods is to allow the pupil the acquisition of knowledge. Even so, the way in which this aim is pursued originates four different currents of methods sorted by two criteria: (1) who leads the educational process and (2) requirement of pupil physical attendance. Regarding the former criterion, the process may be conducted either by the teacher—Teaching-Oriented Process—or by the pupil—Learning-Oriented Process. Obviously, both processes have the same aim: the interiorization and comprehension of knowledge by the pupil. But the difference between them is based on the distinctive procedure followed in each case to achieve the common goal. Regarding the second criterion, the methods may or may not require pupil attendance. Bearing in mind this classification, four different types of educational methods could be described: 1. Teaching Method: This includes the already known classic educational methods, the Conductivity Theory (Good & Brophy, 1990) being the foremost one. This method is characterized by the fact that the teacher has the heavier role during education—the transmission of knowledge. 2. E-Teaching Method: This second type comes from the expansion and popularity of communication networks, especially the Internet. This method brings the teacher to the physical location of the pupil; one of its most important representative elements is the videoconference. 3. Learning Method: This constitutes a new vision of the educational process, since the teacher acts as a guide and reinforcement for the pupil. The educational process has the heavier role in this method. In other words, the teacher creates a need for learning and afterwards provides the pupil with the necessary means in order to fill these created requests. Piaget Constructionist Theory is one of the most remarkable methods for this (Piaget, 1972, 1998). 4. E-Learning Method: This method is supported both by learning methods and by the expansion of communication networks in order to facilitate access to education with no physical or temporal dependence from pupil or teacher. As in learning methods, the pupil, not the teacher, is the one who sets the learning rhythm.

Hydrothermal processes associated with spreading centers of plate-tectonic activity form seafloor massive sulfide (SMS) deposits. Given that the SMS deposits found in the western Pacific have been considered to be potential sources of gold (Au), silver (Ag), cupper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) including manganese nodules and cobalt-rich manganese crusts, there is a strong possibility that they will be mined in near future. In order to take measures against environmental impact during the mining of SMS deposits, it is important to measure components of hydrothermal origin with high temporal and spatial resolution on site, and to understand the ecosystem in the hydrothermal environment. In this study, we first propose a measurement method of turbidity profiles using an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). Applying this method to the ADCP measurements in the Izena Calderon with SMS in the Okinawa Trough, we verify that this method can extract turbidity data from echo intensities measured by ADCP. Subsequently, we describe the high-turbidity water in the Izena Calderon measured by ADCP, and present and discuss the turbidity fluctuations estimated by applying time-frequency analysis to these turbidity data.

The main concern of this research is the two phase flow, which consist of air bubbles submersed in water in reactors cores. The understanding of these such flow activities is paramount to finding out about the efficiency of the process and for safety concerns. This knowledge is also important to control and monitor the flow at the spot or online. The employed method is based on the conductivity principle, and it was chosen because of the cheapness of the circuitry involved for implementation, as compared to other imaging techniques. Keeping this in mind, it provides an excellent temporal and spatial resolution for measurement. To fulfill this requirement, a small testing facility was designed and developed. The circuits were made and then tested by making PCBs. To prevent environmental noises and electromagnet disturbance, the apparatus was shielded to the best of ability, in accordance with the available resources. A wire mesh sensor with sixteen inputs and outputs respectively was made and put in a vertical glass section with water and air filled inside. The bubbles were generated by external means and the signal interference was noted in the collection section. The signals were collected by a data acquisition card and further manipulated in a software program. The data was first taken in the LabVIEW software and then transferred to MATLAB for analysis and image reconstruction. Basically, the main system included wire mesh, the circuit for excitation, the circuit for data collection and data acquisition card connected to a computer. The results were compared with a high speed camera which was linked in synchronization with the software. In these circuit designs, the maximum efficiency was ensured while keeping the cost low. The sensor is surrounded by glass so that the high speed camera could also be used to compare results. The use of the high speed data acquisition card also enabled to deal with real time acquisition without any problem. Unfortunately, this facility could not be tested in rigorous conditions like high temperature and pressure because of limited resources. The conclusions drawn from these experiments are that wire mesh sensors indeed provide temporal resolution of about 1000 frames/s with a good spatial resolution and is also a lot cheaper in comparison with other techniques.
