PGEs are indispensable many industrial applications but mined only a few places....
Gallium (Ga) concentrations for bauxite deposits worldwide have been compiled from the literature to provide a basis research regarding occurrence and distribution of Ga worldwide, as well between types deposits. In addition, this report is an attempt bring together reported concentration data into one database supplement ongoing U.S. Geological Survey studies critical mineral resources. The compilation consists location, deposit size, type host rock, development status, major oxide data,...

Stratiform chromite deposits are of great economic importance, yet their origin and evolution remain highly debated. Layered igneous intrusions such as the Bushveld, Great Dyke, Kemi, Stillwater Complexes, provide opportunities for studying magmatic differentiation processes assimilation within crust, well related ore-deposit formation. Chromite-rich seams layered host majority world's chromium reserves may contain significant platinum-group-element (PGE) mineralization. This model...
A new descriptive stratiform chromite deposit model was prepared which will provide a framework for understanding the characteristics of deposits worldwide. Previous models developed by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) have been referred to as Bushveld chromium, because Complex in South Africa is only stratified, mafic-ultramafic intrusion presently mined and most intensely researched. As part on-going effort USGS Mineral Resources Program update existing upcoming national mineral resource...

Geologic studies this region are hampered by scarcity exposures because nearly continuous blanket unconsolidated sediments resulting glaciation during...
We study the free XXZ quantum spin model defined on a ring of size $L$ and show that bipartite entanglement entropy eigenstates belonging to first energy band above vacuum ground state satisfies logarithmically corrected area law. Along way, we Combes-Thomas estimate for fiber operators which can also be applied discrete many-particle Schr\"odinger more general translation-invariant graphs.
We consider a multi-dimensional continuum Schr\"odinger operator $H$ which is given by perturbation of the negative Laplacian compactly supported bounded potential. show that, for fairly large class test functions, second-order Szeg\H{o}-type asymptotics spatially truncated Fermi projection independent potential and, thus, identical to known Laplacian.
