Sources of rare earth elements REE+Y(REY)in Bayili Coal Mine from Wensu County of Xinjiang,China

By analyses on the trace elements of coals,host-rocks and wall-rocks,this study aims to trace the sources and evaluate the utilization prospects of REE+Y(REY)in coals from Bayili Coal Mine(Wensu,Xinjiang,China).The distribution patterns of REY in the coals are divided into two groups,flat-type and heavy REE-enrichment type(H-type).The REY of the former was mainly from the gneisses of the basement of the coal-bearing basin,and that of the later was partly from hydrothermal solution.The host-rocks show two types of REY patterns,middle REE-enrichment type(M-type)and H-type,which are due to the injection of REY from acid terrestrial water and hydrothermal solution,respectively.Almost all the coal samples are plotted into the promising area on the diagram of percentage of critical elements(REY_(def,rel))vs ratio of sum of critical elements to the sum of excessive elements(C_(outl))and half of the coal samples have high contents of Ga closing to the cut-off grade of Ga deposit as by-product,which indicate that the REY and Ga in Bayili Coal Mine are of utilization prospects as by-product.

More than Target 6.3： A Systems Approach to Rethinking Sustainable Development Goals in a Resource-Scarce World

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development outlines 17 individual Sustainable Development Goals （SDGs） that guide the needs of practice for many professional disciplines around the world, including engineering, research, policy, and development. The SDGs represent commitments to reduce poverty, hunger, ill health, gender inequality, environmental degradation, and lack of access to clean water and sanitation. If a typical reductionist approach is employed to address and optimize individual goals, it may lead to a failure in technological, policy, or managerial development interventions through unin- tended consequences in other goals. This study uses a systems approach to understand the fundamental dynamics between the SDGs in order to identify potential synergies and antagonisms. A conceptual system model was constructed to illustrate the causal relationships between SDGs, examine system structures using generic system archetypes, and identify leverage points to effectively influence intentional and minimize unintentional changes in the system. The structure of interactions among the SDGs reflects three archetypes of system behavior： Reinforcing Growth, Limits to Growth, and Growth and Underinvestment. The leverage points identified from the conceptual model are gender equality, sustainable management of water and sanitation, alternative resources, sustainable livelihood standards, and global partnerships. Such a conceptual system analysis of SDGs can enhance the likelihood that the development community will broaden its understanding of the potential synergistic benefits of their projects on resource management, environmental sustainability, and climate change. By linking the interactions and feedbacks of those projects with economic gains, women＇s empowerment, and educational equality, stakeholders can recognize holistic improvements that can be made to the quality of life of many of the world＇s poor.

Using Geochemistry of Rare Earth Elements to Indicate Sediment Provenance of Sand Ridges in Southwestern Yellow Sea

The Jianggang Harbour-centered radial sand ridge(RSR) is the largest sand body in the Yellow Sea. Its formation and evolution are of interest for scientists of various fields; however, the sediment provenance is uncertain. In this study, rare earth element(REE) geochemical compositions of the RSR sediments together with their potential sources are investigated to identify the provenance of the RSR sediments. The typical parameters((La/Yb)_N,(La/Sm)_N and(Gd/Yb)_N) as well as the upper continental crust-normalized patterns of REEs can only be associated with source rocks, and thus can be used as effective tracers for the origin and sources of sediments. However, the REE contents of sediments are affected by many factors, such as particle sorting and chemical weathering. Onshore RSR sediments are different in REE geochemical composition from offshore RSR sediments to some extent, suggesting that not all of the offshore RSR sediments have the same sources as the onshore RSR sediments. Meanwhile, the sediments adjacent to the northeast of Cheju Island and at Lian Island near the Lianyun Harbour were not the source of the RSR sediments due to their distinctive REE patterns, dEu,(La/Yb)_N,(Gd/Yb)_N and(La/Sm)_N. The Korean river sediments could be dispersed to the Jiangsu Coast slightly impacting the fine fractions of the RSR sediments, particularly the offshore RSR sediments. Additionally, geochemical comparisons show that the modern Yellow River was responsible for the onshore RSR sediments, whereas the sediment loads from the Yangtze River could serve as a major contributor to the RSR, particularly the offshore RSR. In addition, the offshore RSR could also be partly fed by an unknown source due to some high values of(La/Yb)_N,(La/Sm)_N and La contents differing from those of the Chinese and Korean river sediments.

Change in Sediment Provenance Near the Current Estuary of Yellow River Since the Holocene Transgression

Sedimentary sequence and sediment provenance are important factors when it comes to the studies on marine sedimentation. This paper studies grain size distribution, lithological characteristics, major and rare earth elemental compositions, micropaleontological features and ^(14)C ages in order to examine sedimentary sequence and sediment provenance of the core BH6 drilled at the mouth of the Yellow River in Bohai Sea. According to the grain size and the micropaleontological compositions, 4 sedimentary units have been identified. Unit 1(0–8.08 mbsf) is of the delta sedimentary facies, Unit 2(8.08–12.08 mbsf) is of the neritic shelf facies, Unit 3(12.08–23.85 mbsf) is of near-estuary beach-tidal facies, and Unit 4(23.85 mbsf–) is of the continental lake facies. The deposits from Unit 1 to Unit 3 have been found to be marine strata formed after the Holocene transgression at about 10 ka BP, while Unit 4 is continental lacustrine deposit formed before 10 ka BP. The provenances of core BH6 sediments show properties of the continental crust and vary in different sedimentary periods. For Unit 4 sediments, the source regions are dispersed while the main provenance is not clear, although the parent rock characteristics of a few samples are similar to the Luanhe River sediments. For Unit 3, sediments at 21.1–23.85 mbsf have been mainly transported from the Liaohe River, while sediments above 21.1 mbsf are mainly from the Yellow River and partially from the Liaohe River. For Unit 2, the sediments have been mainly transported from the Yellow River, with a small amount from other rivers. For Unit 1, the provenance is mainly the Yellow River catchment. These results help in better understanding the evolution of the Yellow River Delta.

Screening Programs for Cervical Cancer： Investigation ＂SWOT＂ in Calabria

（Screening programs for cervical cancer： a ＂SWOT＂ investigation in the Calabria Region）---The low adherence to screening programs for cervical cancer in Calabria, was analyzed by performing a SWOT analysis with concerned health professionals. The survey shows that screening organized in Calabria is active and well regulated, the human and financial resources are scarce and the healthcare management has paid little attention to the prevention of women＇s cancers. In the perspective of a necessary improvement of the regional system of screening, it would be appropriate to enable promotion strategies and more effective communication, overcoming possible cultural factors hindering.

Underdetermined Blind Source Separation of Adjacent Satellite Interference Based on Sparseness

The problem of underdetermined blind source separation of adjacent satellite interference is proposed in this paper. Density Clustering algorithm(DC-algorithm) presented in this article is different from traditional methods. Sparseness representation has been applied in underdetermined blind signal source separation. However, some difficulties have not been considered, such as the number of sources is unknown or the mixed matrix is ill-conditioned. In order to find out the number of the mixed signals, Short Time Fourier Transform(STFT) is employed to segment received mixtures. Then, we formulate the blind source signal as cluster problem. Furthermore, we construct Cost Function Pair and Decision Coordinate System by using density clustering. At the end of this paper, we discuss the performance of the proposed method and verify the novel method based on several simulations. We verify the proposed method on numerical experiments with real signal transmission, which demonstrates the validity of the proposed method.

Water Resource and Regional Economic Growth Study Based on Panel Data

Empirical analysis to the relationship between water resource scarcity degree and economic growth were done by building relationship model between water resource scarcity degree and regional economic growth with provincial panel data of 30 provinces during 2000-2009. The analysis results show that, in water resource scarcity regions, the shortage of water resource is the key factor of restricting economic development. In order to alleviate the shortage of water resource and meet the needs of economic development to water resource, it is necessary to speed up the establishment of water right trading market and finally achieve the goal of water-saving and regulation of water resource by economic leverage. The specific countermeasures include： first, comprehensively considering the endowment difference of water resource when carrying out industrial planning and layout; second, speeding up the establishment of water right trading market and revising water-saving incentive mechanism; third, increasing fiscal transfer payment ability to the provinces of outputting water resource; fourth, strengthening industrial guidance, making moderate industrial transfer and population movement; fifth, paying attention to science, technology and education investment, to improve utilization efficiency of water resource.

Uplink user allocation scheme in cognitive coexistent cellular network

In order to address spectrum resource scarcity in traditional cellular networks,television(TV)white space is considered as a potential solution to offload a portion of network traffic and enlarge network capacity.This paper describes a cognitive cellular network which allocates low geometry users to the TV white space based on a proportional fair criterion.An uplink user allocation scheme is proposed and the validity of the proposed scheme is established by simulation of the cellular network usage in conjunction with the TV white space.The simulation results show clear improvements in both the user and the system performance with the cognitive coexistent cellular network compared with the traditional cellular network,and that the performance of the proposed user allocation scheme is superior to other user allocation schemes.

Sparse constrained encoding multi-source full waveform inversion method based on K-SVD dictionary learning

Full waveform inversion(FWI)is an extremely important velocity-model-building method.However,it involves a large amount of calculation,which hindsers its practical application.The multi-source technology can reduce the number of forward modeling shots during the inversion process,thereby improving the efficiency.However,it introduces crossnoise problems.In this paper,we propose a sparse constrained encoding multi-source FWI method based on K-SVD dictionary learning.The phase encoding technology is introduced to reduce crosstalk noise,whereas the K-SVD dictionary learning method is used to obtain the basis of the transformation according to the characteristics of the inversion results.The multiscale inversion method is adopted to further enhance the stability of FWI.Finally,the synthetic subsag model and the Marmousi model are set to test the effectiveness of the newly proposed method.Analysis of the results suggest the following:(1)The new method can effectively reduce the computational complexity of FWI while ensuring inversion accuracy and stability;(2)The proposed method can be combined with the time-domain multi-scale FWI strategy flexibly to further avoid the local minimum and to improve the stability of inversion,which is of significant importance for the inversion of the complex model.

Resource Evaluation of Heavy Rare Earth Derived from the Spent Gd203 Burnable Poison in LWRs

A burnup calculation has been performed to evaluate heavy rare earth （terbium--Tb, dysprosium--Dy） production in spent gadolinium oxide （Gd203） installed as a BP （burnable poison）. Each amount of Tb and Dy production derived from the BP has been about 30-40 times larger than those created in FP （fission products）. Required cooling time to achieve exemption level on radioactivity concentration produced Tb and Dy derived from the BP are much shorter （BP-Tb： 7.9y, BP-Dy： 〈 0.1y） than those created in FP （FP-Tb： 3,616y, FP-Dy： 6.9y）. However, the BP is mixed homogeneously with UO2 pellet in current nuclear fuel system of LWRs （light water reactors）, and hence mixing of FP cannot be not avoided. In such a mixture case, the required cooling time of recovered Tb will become 2,653y and that of recovered Dy be 4.8y. For this reason, recovered Tb is unlikely to be resource for utilization, while recovered Dy must be the resource provided the precise separation from the other FP.

Ash-and-Slag Wastes of Energy Sector as Raw Material for Production of Rare-Earth Metals and Alumina

The results to develop a complex technology of co-extraction of germanium and gallium from the ash-and-slag wastes of coal combustion in Ukraine were presented. Based on the study of phase changes occurring in initial raw materials as a result of its processing, it was proposed to carry out a preliminary enrichment of the raw materials in order to produce secondary sublimates. Their further processing involves a combination of leaching soluble material with distillation of germanium in the form of tetrachloride. The resulting acidic solutions are trended to the gallium extraction. Optimum conditions of carrying out of processes are recommended.The chemical and phase composition of the resulting dump products and solutions have been defined. On the basis of it ways of their processing for the purpose of reception of alumina and building materials are recommended.

Embedded FPGA Simulator for Wireless Sensor Network Design

The design, manufacture and deployment of embedded systems become increasingly complex and multidisciplinary process. Before the steps of manufacturing and deployment, a simulation and validation phase is necessary. In this paper, a WSN （wireless sensors network） emulator, implemented on a FPGA, is described by： describing some models as examples, how multiple simulations can be done when the device was configured and programmed once, and how results from the behavioral emulator can be extracted. The diversity of applications and the typically scarce node resources set very tight constraints to WSN. It is not possible to fulfill all requirements with a general purpose WSN, for which reason the rapid development of application specific WSNs is preferred. A new emulator for the design, simulation, and evaluation of WSNs, implemented on a very dense FPGA （field programmable gate arrays）, is presented, exploring the parallelism and his resources to do a very rapid simulation ofa WSN for long periods, and without overloading memory by the intermediate data.

Geochemistry of Neoproterozoic mixosedimentite in northern Anhui and its geological significance

Major oxides,as well as trace elements (including rare earth elements) compositions have been analyzed for the mixosedimentites from Neoproterozoic Jiayuan Formation in northern Anhui,China. The results show that the concentrations of elements are closely related to the relative proportions of carbonates and terrigenous detritus (varying from 2/3 to 1/9 based on petrographic study). The ratios between some immobile elements (e.g. La,Th,Zr and Sc) are constant and then can be used as tracers for the discrimination of provenance and tectonic setting of terrigenous detritus. The results indicate that the terrigenous detritus mainly came from the felsic volcanics related to continental arc,with minor contribution from the old basement. Combined with recent research progresses,these mixosedimentites imply that the Neoproterozoic sedimentation in northern Anhui was probably taken place in a back arc basin during the convergence of Rodinia super continent between 1.0 and 0.8 Ga.

Interactions Between Exogenous Rare Earth Elements and Phosphorus Leaching in Packed Soil Columns

Rare earth elements （REEs） increasingly used in agriculture as an amendment for crop growth may help to lessen environmental losses of phosphorus （P） from heavily fertilized soils. The vertical transport characteristics of P and REEs, lanthanum （La）, neodymium （Nd）, samarium （Sin）, and cerium （Ce）, were investigated with addition of exogenous REEs at various doses to packed soil columns （20 cm deep）. Vertical transfers of REEs and P were relatively small, with transport depths less than 6 cm for most REEs and P. Export of applied REEs in leachate accounted for less that 5% of inputs. The addition of Ce, Nd and Sm to soil columns significantly decreased concentrations of extractable soil P up to a depth of 4 cm, with soil P concentrations unaffected at depths 〉 4 cm. In general, REEs had little effect on the vertical leaching of P in packed soil columns.

Source number estimation and separation algorithms of underdetermined blind separation

Recently,sparse component analysis (SCA) has become a hot spot in BSS re-search. Instead of independent component analysis (ICA),SCA can be used to solve underdetermined mixture efficiently. Two-step approach (TSA) is one of the typical methods to solve SCA based BSS problems. It estimates the mixing matrix before the separation of the sources. K-means clustering is often used to estimate the mixing matrix. It relies on the prior knowledge of the source number strongly. However,the estimation of the source number is an obstacle. In this paper,a fuzzy clustering method is proposed to estimate the source number and mixing matrix simultaneously. After that,the sources are recovered by the shortest path method (SPM). Simulations show the availability and robustness of the proposed method.

Rapid earthquake focal mechanism inversion using high-rate GPS velometers in sparse network

In this study, we demonstrate an approach for inverting earthquake source parameters based on high-rate global positioning system （GPS） velocity seismograms. The velocity records obtained from single-station GPS velocity solutions with broadcast ephemeris are used directly for earthquake source parameter inversion using the Cut and Paste method, without requiring conversion of the velocity records into displacement records. Taking the E1 Mayor-Cucapah earthquake as an example, GPS velocity records from 10 stations with reasonable azimuthal coverage provide earthquake source parameters very close to those from the Global centroid moment tensor （Global CMT） solution. In sparse network tests, robust source parameters with acceptable bias can be achieved with as few as three stations. When the number of stations is reduced to two, the bias in rake angle becomes appreciable, but the magnitude and strike estimations are still robust. The results of this study demonstrate that rapid and reliable estimation of earthquake source parameters can be obtained from GPS velocity data. These parameters could be used for early earthquake warning and shake map construction, because such GPS velocity records can be obtained in real time.

Geochemical characteristics and geological significance of Cretaceous phonotephrite from the Mid-Pacific Mountains

Systematic analyses were conducted including the petrographic features, major and trace elements, Sr and Nd isotopic compositions, and mineral structure and compositions of whole rocks. Mid-Pacific Mountain volcanic rocks are mainly phonotephrite with a porphyritic texture. Phenocrysts are mainly composed of Ca-rich plagioclase, clinopyroxene and nepheline.These volcanic rocks are significantly rich in large-ion lithophile and light rare earth elements, without obvious Eu anomalies(δEu=0.99–1.03), and with relatively enriched^(87) Sr/^(86) Sr(0.703829–0.704313) and^(143) Nd/^(144) Nd isotopic ratios(0.512857–0.512871), suggesting that they have similar but more enriched features than the OIB magmatic source. These volcanic rocks may originate from relatively deep magma source with the existence of spinel-garnet Iherzolites, and have undergone partial melting at a low degree of 1–3%. In addition, The residual Nb-Ta minerals(such as sphene, rutile, perovskite) may remain in the mantle source, and the magma components have undergone metasomatism by carbonate melt/fluid or alkali-rich fluid, causing high contents of incompatible elements and significant loss of Nb, Ta and Ti in these volcanic rocks. There are many similarities between the phonotephrites in the Mid-Pacific Mountain and the volcanic rocks in the Line Islands based on the tectonic settings and the geochemical characteristics. We thus speculate that Site 313 volcanic rocks in the Mid-Pacific Mountain is most likely to be a continuation of the Line Islands.
