The Concentration and Distribution of Gold in the Uraniferous Conglomerates of Elliot Lake
No full textTitle: The Concentration and Distribution of Gold in the Uraniferous Conglomerates of Elliot Lake, Author: Robert D. Martindale, Location: ThodeA neutron activation procedure for the determination
of Au in sulfides has been utilized to examine the concentration
and distribution of Au in pyrite, and, to a lesser extent, in chalcopyrite
of the conglomeratic uranium ore of the Denison Mine, Elliot Lake,
Ontario. An extensive literature review of the geology of the Elliot
Lake area is presented together with brief surveys of the geologies
of two analogous areas, the Witwatersrand of South Africa, and the
Jacobina of Brazil. A discussion of the two leading theories regarding
the origin of such deposits follows. The present state of knowledge
concerning the nature and causes of the distribution of Au in both
rocks and sulfides is discussed. Analytical results are presented for
Au in 58 pyrite, 8 quartz, and 2 chalcopyrite samples, and for Ir in
4 pyrite samples, all from the Denison Mine ore zones. These results
are discussed with respect to their implications concerning the
origin of the ore and of auriferous and/or uraniferous quartz pebble
conglomerates in general.ThesisMaster of Science (MS
Federal Taxation: 2015-2016
No full textElliot surveys significant federal tax developments occurring during the 2015–2016 period and analyzes their implications for taxpayers, practitioners, and policymakers. It highlights major statutory, regulatory, and administrative changes, with particular emphasis on areas that generated substantial interpretive or compliance challenges. The author examines noteworthy judicial decisions that shaped the application of federal tax law and clarified contested provisions. In addition, the article discusses emerging trends in tax enforcement and the evolving priorities of the IRS. Together, these developments provide a comprehensive overview of a dynamic period in federal taxation and offer guidance for anticipating future changes in the field
Numbers and time doubly dissociate
No full textThe magnitude dimensions of number, time and space have been suggested to share some common magnitude processing, which may imply symmetric interaction among dimensions. Here we challenge these suggestions by presenting a double dissociation between two neuropsychological patients with left (JT) and right (CB) parietal lesions and selective impairment of number and time processing respectively. Both patients showed an influence of task-irrelevant number stimuli on time but not space processing. In JT otherwise preserved time processing was severely impaired in the mere presence of task-irrelevant numbers, which themselves could not be processed accurately. In CB, impaired temporal estimation was influenced by preserved number processing: small numbers made (already grossly underestimated) time intervals appear even shorter relative to large numbers. However, numerical estimation was not influenced by time in healthy controls and in both patients. This new double dissociation between number and time processing and the asymmetric interaction of number on time: (1) provides further support to the hypothesis of a partly shared magnitude system among dimensions, instead of the proposal of a single, fully shared system or of independent magnitude systems which would not explain dissociations or interactions among dimensions; (2) may be explained in terms of a stable hierarchy of dimensions, with numbers being the strongest
Contraction and Expansion: The Divergence of Private Sector and Public Sector Unionism in tht U.S.
No full textThis paper contrasts the differing experience of public sector unionism, which has expanded in the United States, and private sector unionism, which has contracted, in the past several decades. It uses the experience of other countries, particularly Canada, to rule out some explanations of the divergent trends. The paper finds that the major reason for the private sector decline is increased management opposition to union organization, motivated in part by profit-seeking behavior, and augmented by trade union responses; and that the major reason for the public sector union expansion is decreased market opposition due to pas- sage of comprehensive collective bargaining laws and motivated in part by vote-seeking behavior.
Manuscript notes on gold digging and gold licence issued 1858
No full textManuscript notes on gold digging, written around [c.1858] author unknown, may have been George Elliot. Includes on the front page a coloured drawing of 'The Diggings, designed and drawn by William Strutt, and published by D. Urquhart, Collins Street, Melbourne.
William Strutt (1825-1915) was born in Devon, England and studied art in Paris. He arrived in Melbourne on the HMS Culloden, in July 1850. Strutt published engravings in the first issue of the Illustrated Australian Magazine and designed, engraved or lithographed postage stamps, posters, maps, transparencies and seals and began to learn all he could about the history of the colony. His friend and patron John Pasco Fawkner encouraged him to record important colonial events. His works are represented in galleries in Sydney, Melbourne, Ballarat, Adelaide and Hobart. Among European collections, le Musée de Lucerne and the Peace Palace at The Hague hold important paintings. The Dixson and Mitchell libraries, Sydney, the National Library of Australia, State Library and the Parliamentary Library, Victoria, and the Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, all hold extensive collections of his sketches, paintings or manuscript material.
Also Gold Licence issued to George Elliot on October 1858 by P.C.. Crespigny, Commissioner. To meet the expense of securing order and to restrain unauthorised mining on Crown land, a local Act of January 1852 imposed on all diggers a licence fee of 30 shillings per month, the penalty for mining without a licence being £6 for the first offence and afterwards imprisonment for terms up to six months

Dissociations and interactions between time, numerosity and space processing
No full textThis study investigated time, numerosity and space processing in a patient (CB) with a right hemisphere lesion. We tested whether these magnitude dimensions share a common magnitude system or whether they are processed by dimension-specific magnitude systems. Five experimental tasks were used: Tasks 1-3 assessed time and numerosity independently and time and numerosity jointly. Tasks 4 and 5 investigated space processing independently and space and numbers jointly. Patient CB was impaired at estimating time and at discriminating between temporal intervals, his errors being underestimations. In contrast, his ability to process numbers and space was normal. A unidirectional interaction between numbers and time was found in both the patient and the control subjects. Strikingly, small numbers were perceived as lasting shorter and large numbers as lasting longer. In contrast, number processing was not affected by time, i.e. short durations did not result in perceiving fewer numbers and long durations in perceiving more numbers. Numbers and space also interacted, with small numbers answered faster when presented on the left side of space, and the reverse for large numbers. Our results demonstrate that time processing can be selectively impaired. This suggests that mechanisms specific for time processing may be partially independent from those involved in processing numbers and space. However, the interaction between numbers and time and between numbers and space also suggests that although independent, there maybe some overlap between time, numbers and space. These data suggest a partly shared mechanism between time, numbers and space which may be involved in magnitude processing or may be recruited to perform cognitive operations on magnitude dimensions

Typological Consequences of Local Constraint Conjunction
No full textPhonological opacity has become the subject of several competing analyses in both rule- and constraint-based phonology. One, local constraint conjunction in Optimality Theory, is shown here to predict a typology of possible and impossible synchronic chain shifts involving epenthesis and deletion. The predictions, which do not follow from the other analyses, appear to be borne out by language data.In local conjunction, two Optimality-Theoretic constraints C and C' are combined into a new constraint (C & C')D which is violated if there is a representational domain D within which both C and C' are violated. This mechanism has been used to account for two kinds of opacity: chain shifts (Kirchner 1996) and derived-environment effects (Lubowicz 2002). This paper is about the chain shifts.In order for C and C' to be conjoined, there must be a common domain D within which both can be violated. In the framework of Correspondence Theory (McCarthy & Prince 1995), certain constraint families inherently cannot share domains, and hence cannot be locally conjoined. The phonological processes corresponding to the impossible conjunctions are predicted not to occur.Segmental DEP constraints are violated by a surface segment with no underlying correspondent; segmental MAX constraints, by an underlying segment with no surface correspondent. Therefore, no domain can contain both a DEP and a MAX violation, and the conjunction (DEP & MAX) is ruled out. It is shown that this entails the impossiblity of chain shifts of the the form AxB->AB-> AzB.A review of 35 chain-shift cases to date has found all of them to conform. An apparent counterexample (Donegan & Stampe 1979) is examined and refuted. The typological pattern is taken to support the local-conjunction account, which is the only one which predicts it.The definitive version of this paper was published in Proceedings of the West Coast Conference on Formal Linguistics 21(2002) and is available at http://www.cascadilla.com/wccfl21.html. This paper is identical to that version, except for the more detailed appendix and bibliography in this version
Esr Of Rare-earth Impurities (gd, Dy, Er) In Ce: A Study Of The α-cerium Magnetic Properties
No full textESR studies of the rare earth ions Gd, Dy, and Er in Cerium metal are reported for the first time. Evidence that the ESR measurements were performed in the α-Cerium phase is provided. Comparison of our results with previous α-La:Gd and Th:Gd ESR studies supports the idea that the f band contribution to the ESR linewidth and g shift in α-Ce can be neglected. This assumption enable us to extract the enhancement factors of the host d-s and f conduction bands of α-Ce as well as the impurity-conduction electron exchange parameters for Gd, Dy and Er in α-Ce. © 1978.258543546Koskimaki, Gechneidner, Jr., (1975) Phys.
