    Durante los procesos de extracción y beneficio de carbón una gran cantidad de partículas finas de carbón son generados (>500 mm). En México más de 5 millones de toneladas de finos de carbón son anualmente formadas y almacenadas en las presas de jales de las Plantas lavadoras de Carbón. Y de estos residuos, solamente un 20 a 30% de ellos, son utilizados nuevamente, mientras que el resto son desechados formando residuos con alto valor energético que está expuesto al medio ambiente. Es por ello que ante la caída sobre los rendimientos de recuperación de mineral de valor durante los procesos convencionales de beneficio de carbón como son los procesos de: medio denso, jiggs, hidro-ciclones y flotación con espuma. Siendo este último quien normalmente es utilizado para la recuperación de partículas finas mayores a 500 m. El proceso de flotación, es reportado como un proceso prometedor para la desulfurización de carbón. Sin embargo, este no parece ser eficiente cuando el tamaño de partícula es inferior a 28 mallas. En la actualidad existen algunos procesos alternativos para la recuperación de partículas de carbón menores a 75 m como son: el proceso de aglomeración con aceite, el cual es un proceso químico que involucra la adhesión de aceita a una mezcla de carbón mezclado a alta velocidad para promover la formación de aglomerados ricos en carbón. Otra proceso alternativo que puede ser combinado entre el proceso de flotación y microorganismos biológicos, están atrayendo la atención en todo el mundo. El proceso de bioflotación ha llegado a ser un método esencial para el beneficio de minerales, ya que la bacteria remplaza a los reactivos químicos convencionales o bien trabajan en sinergia ambos para producir un alto grado de concentración con una razonable recuperación de valor.Para este proyecto se evaluó dos procesos químicos y biológicos para desarrollar un proceso de recuperación de partículas finas de carbón a partir de residuos mineros. Para este trabajo se utilizaron dos muestras carbón fino recolectadas de dos plantas lavadoras de carbón diferente localizadas sobre dos Sub-cuencas diferentes en la Región Carbonífera de Coahuila. La primera de ellas corresponde a Sub-cuenca de Rio Escondido (CFM), mientras que la otra muestra pertenece a la Sub-cuenca Sabinas (CFP). Se utilizaron como colectores en el proceso químico cuatro reactivos biodegradables conformados por: dos aceites vegetales (A1O, A2G), un aceite mineral (A3M) y otro automotriz (A4K) y como colectores biológicos se utilizó la bacteria Staphylococus carnosus. Los resultados obtenidos de este proyecto indicaron que: En el proceso químico, los aceites que mostraron una mejor recuperación de materia orgánica fueron los aceites de tipo vegetal, debido a que requieren de una menor concentración en peso de aceite (5%wa), comparado con el resto de los aceites. Finalmente esto para el sector minero resulta ser económicamente conveniente. La razón es porque los aceites vegetales presentan la ventaja de contener grupos funcionales oxigenados, que favorecen el proceso de flotación. Mientras que en el proceso biológico, la formación de biopelícula en la superficie del mineral de valor, favorece al cambio de la carga superficial de la partícula de carbón logrando favorecer el proceso de bioflotación, con rendimientos superiores al 80% en tiempo de flotación de hasta 5 minutos. Por lo tanto, ambos procesos resultan ser buenas alternativas para la recuperación de carbón con tamaño mayores a 44m y con apariencia oxidados. Debido a los tiempos de ambos procesos, el proceso químico resulta ser más factible para el sector minero, dado que los tiempos de permanencia son menores comparados al proceso biológico.During the processes of coal extraction and a lot of fine carbon particles are generated (> 500 mm). In Mexico more than 5 million tons of coal fines are annually formed and stored in the tailings dams of coal washing plants. And this waste, only 20-30% of them, are again used, while the rest are discarded forming high energy waste is exposed to the environment. That is why before the fall of yields valuable mineral recovery processes for conventional coal beneficiation processes such as: dense medium, jigs, hydro cyclones and froth flotation. The latter one is normally used for the recovery of fine particles larger than 500 m. The flotation process is reported as a promising process for the desulfurization of coal. However, this does not seem efficient when the particle size is less than 28 meshes. At present there are some alternative processes for the recovery of coal particles less than 75 m as are the oil agglomeration process, which is a chemical process that involves bonding oiled to a mixture of coal high speed mixing to promote the formation of agglomerates rich in coal. Another alternative process that can be combined between the flotation and biological organisms, are attracting attention worldwide. Bio-flotation process has become an essential method for the beneficiation of minerals, since bacteria replace conventional chemical reagents or both work synergistically to produce a high concentration with reasonable recovery value. For this project two chemical and biological to develop a process of recovery of fine coal particles from mining waste processes are evaluated. For this work two fine coal samples collected from two different coals washing plants located on two different sub-basins in the Carboniferous Region of Coahuila plants are used. The first is for Sub-basin of Rio Escondido (CFM), while the other shows part of the Sub-basin Sabinas (CFP). two vegetable oils (A1O, A2G), mineral oil (A3M) and other automotive (A4K) and as biological collectors bacteriaStaphylococcus carnosus was used: four reagents comprised of biodegradable used as collectors in the chemical process. The results of this project indicated that: In the chemical process, the oils showed better recovery of organic matter were vegetal oils, because they require less weight concentration of oil (5% w), compared with other oils. Finally this for the mining sector turns out to be economically convenient. The reason is that vegetable oils have the advantage of containing oxygenated functional groups, favoring the flotation process. While in the biological process, biofilm formation on the surface of mineral value, favors change the surface charge of the coal particle making process bio-flotation promote, with yields higher than 80% by flotation time up 5 minutes. Therefore, both processes are good alternatives for recovering larger sized coal and oxidized 44m appearance. Because the times of both processes, the chemical process turns out to be more feasible for the mining sector, as dwell times are minor compared to the biological process

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
