Volumes CCIS 51 and LNCS 5812 constitute the proceedings of the Fourth Interational Symposium on Intelligence Computation and Applications, ISICA 2009, held in Huangshi, China, during October 23-25. ISICA 2009 attracted over 300 submissions. Through rigorous reviews, 58 papers were included in LNCS 5821,and 54 papers were collected in CCIS 51. ISICA conferences are one of the first series of international conferences on computational intelligence that combine elements of learning, adaptation, evolution and fuzzy logic to create programs as alternative solutions to artificial intelligence.
In Silver by Fire, Silver by Mercury: A Chemical History of Silver Refining in New Spain and Mexico, 16th to 19th Centuries, Saul Guerrero combines historical research with geology and chemistry to refute the current prevailing narrative of a primitive effort dominated by mercury and its copious emissions to the air. Based on quantitative historical data, visual records and geochemical fundamentals, Guerrero analyses the chemical and economic reasons why two refining processes had to share production, creating along the way major innovations in the chemical recipes, milling equipment, mercury recycling practice, and industrial architecture and operations. Their main environmental impact was lead fume and the depletion of woodlands from smelting, and the transformation of mercury into calomel during the patio process.
Metallogeny of Tin attempts to develop a general metallogenic model for tin in identifying the essential or relevant processes in tin ore formation. The methodological principle is based on an interplay between a background of basic petrogenetic concepts and a number of specific local and regional data on tin deposits and tin provinces. The author condenses the many apparently specific complexities encountered in individual ore deposits to a few major processes of general importance.
This volume contains the papers presented at the 2nd International Conference on Engineering Management and Information Science (EMIS 2023), held during December 24th-26th, 2023 (virtual event). With the theme of “bringing together global wisdom in scientific innovation to promote high-quality development”, the immediate purpose of this Conference was to gather experienced as well as young scientists who are interested in working actively on various aspects of engineering management and information science to drive development. The major topics covered in the Conference are: Project Management Information System, Logistics Information System, Intelligent Transportation Engineering, Passwords and Security Systems, Numerical Algorithms for Computers, Innovative Network Systems and Applications, Knowledge Acquisition and Management, etc... Here, scholars, experts, and researchers are welcomed to share their research progress and inspirations. It is a great opportunity to promote academic communication and collaboration worldwide.
Papers presented at the conference organized by Central Mining Research Institute, Dhanbad; with reference to India.
Metals in the earth's crust are very unevenly distributed and, traditionally, a small number of ore deposits, districts or countries have dominated the world supply and have influenced commodity prices. The importance of exceptionally large, or rich, deposits has greatly increased in the age of globalization when a small number of international corporations dominate the metals market, based on few very large ore deposits, practically anywhere in the world. Search for giant orebodies thus drives the exploration industry: not only the in-house teams of large internationals, but also hundreds of junior companies hoping to sell their significant discoveries to the "big boys". Geological characte...
