The use of hyperspectral remote sensing for mineral exploration: a review

The hyperspectral remote sensing technology has been available to the research community for more than three decades. Since in its first steps the hyperspectral technology was also promoted as a tool for mineral exploration. Numerous mineral exploration applications of hyperspectral remote sensing have been reported. This paper provides an up-to-date and focused review of the applications of the hyperspectral remote sensing to mineral exploration. The ore deposits are grouped based on major processes of formation (magmatic, hydrothermal, sedimentary, supergene). The review shows that the hyperspectral remote sensing technology has found application to the study and exploration of a number of ore deposits including kimberlites (host-rocks of diamonds), carbonatites (host-rock of rare earth elements deposits), porphyry deposits, epithermal gold and silver deposits, skarn deposits, volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VHMS) deposits, orogenic gold deposits, Carlin-type gold deposits, SEDEX Pb-Zn-Ag deposits. On the other hand, the possibilities of the hyperspectral technology remain still underexplored for the study and exploration of chromite deposits, Ni-sulfide deposits in mafic and ultramafic rocks, rare-metal pegmatites, greisen and related deposits, Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) Pb-Zn deposits, Kupferschiefer deposits and uranium deposits in sedimentary basins, iron ores in banded-iron formations, laterites and bauxites. A special attention has been paid in this review to the applications in mineral exploration of the emerging airborne hyperspectral thermal infrared technology. In addition, the possibilities and limitations of spaceborne hyperspectral imagery of moderate spatial resolution for detailed characterization and detection of mineralized systems are discussed for each major deposit type. The spatial resolution of the hyperspectral data is noted to be a key factor on the success of a hyperspectral exploration project. By providing a full up-to-date picture of the applications and contribution of the hyperspectral imagery to the exploration and characterization of ore deposits this review paper should be useful to the interested geological remote sensing researcher and practitioner, and to the mineral exploration manager as well.
Empowerment, Citizenship and Gender Justice: A Contribution to Locally Grounded Theories of Change in Women's Lives

Struggles for gender justice by women's movements have sought to give legal recognition to gender equality at both national and international levels. However, such society-wide goals may have little resonance in the lives of individual men and women in contexts where a culture of individual rights is weak or missing and the stress is on the moral economy of kinship and community. While empowerment captures the myriad ways in which intended and unintended changes can enhance the ability of individual women to exercise greater control over their own lives, it does not necessarily lead to their engagement in collective struggles for gender justice. This paper argues that ideas about citizenship, as both legal status and potential for action, can help bridge this gulf between institutional and individual change. It draws on empirical research from Afghanistan and Bangladesh to explore the extent to which efforts to empower women by development organisations have also encompassed discourses of citizenship which allow them to articulate, and act on, their vision for a just society.
Investigating order release dimensions of workload control mechanisms.

A variety of order release mechanisms have been developed for workload control. In this paper the effectiveness of order release mechanisms in a job shop environment is assessed by studying the influence of single order release dimensions, instead of comparing different mechanisms as a whole. In particular, the paper aims at improving the basis for selecting the workload accounting over time and the workload control strategies, through the understanding of its impact on the overall system performance. The robustness of these order release strategies to environmental perturbations is also assessed through a plan of experiments based on the Taguchi method. Simulation results provide important insights for the implementation of order release mechanisms.
Overview of young people attempting suicide by drug overdose and prevention and protection services

Overview of young people attempting suicide by drug overdose and prevention and protection services Objective: Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15-29 year-old-people in the world. The aim of this study is to present the characteristics of children and adolescents attempting suicide by drug overdose and to draw attention to preventive measures that can be taken in Turkey. Method: Records of the patients who admitted to a training and research hospital in one year period due to a suicide attempt by drug overdose were reviewed retrospectively. Sociodemographic data and psychiatric evaluation records of attempters were documented. Results: During the study period, 163 adolescents applied to the hospital with suicidal drug overdose. Child psychiatry consultation was ordered for 61.3% (n=100) of them. It was the first attempt of 90% of the cases. The frequency of having previous psychiatric diagnosis was significantly higher in patients with recurrent suicide attempts. In both impulsive and planned suicide attempts, the most preferred times were evening and night time. Women more often attempted suicide due to family conflict, while men attempted due to emotional relationship problems. All cases without psychiatric disorder or with externalizing problems attempted impulsive suicide. The most preferred drugs for suicide were, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antidepressants, paracetamol, antibiotics and antipsychotics. Of the all cases, 22.5% attempted suicide by self medications. It has not been possible to maintain pediatric psychiatric follow up of the 71% of the cases. Conclusion: It is considered that public attention should be drawn to the increasing number of adolescent suicide attempts in order to prevent this issue. Family-oriented protective approaches, school-based preventive programs and new legal regulations on drug safety could help to reduce the frequency of suicide attempts.
Climate and regional beta‐diversity gradients in spiders: dispersal capacity has nothing to say?

Abstract. 1. The importance of dispersal capacity in structuring beta‐diversity gradients has been pointed out in a number of recent studies, making geographical distance (GD) an important predictor of the composition of assemblages apart from environment. In this study, we analyse the relative importance of climate, habitat complexity and GD in four spider families with different dispersal tendencies in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula.
An examination of the relationship between CSR disclosure and financial performance: The case of Polish banks

The purpose of this study is twofold. First, this study investigates the trends of corporate social responsibility (CSR) reporting and financial performance (FP) in commercial banks in Poland. Second, this study examines the impact of the CSR disclosure of the banks on their financial performance (ROA, ROE, NIM). Sample consists of 18 banks. The data from annual reports for the period of 8 years (2008 – 2015) were both hand collected and obtained from Notoria Servis Database. A content analysis is used to measure the level of CSR disclosures and a panel data analysis is employed to examine the CSR-FP relationship. Software: GRETL. Two key findings: (1) Positive relationship between banks’ CSR disclosures and their profitability measured by ROA and ROE. However, the relationship between banks’ CSR disclosures and NIM is negative. Statistical analysis did not report any significant effect of CSR activities on ROA, ROE and NIM ratios. (2) Banks’ CSR activities are not dominant predictor of their profitability as compared with control variables. To our best knowledge this research is the first quantitative analysis regarding banking sector in Poland. Further, this study was conducted in emerging market with different socio-economic context and regulations compared to developed market. The findings contribute to and increase the understanding of the relationship between CSR disclosures and FP. Finally, this study has important implications for policy makers, managers, investors, and others.
AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF MARKET REACTION TO CORPORATE ACCOUNTING MALFEASANCE

This study examines corporate accounting malfeasance from an exploratory and empirical perspective for 100 companies to determine if there is an association between the Jenkins recommendations and SOX requirements and to determine if there are any differences between the internal and external monitoring characteristics of malfeasance and non-malfeasance companies. The exploratory perspective discusses the types of corporate malfeasance and gives an accounting and market dollar impact ($140 and $857 billion respectively) of 100 companies with publicly announced malfeasance and supports previous studies findings that revenue was the most common area of corporate malfeasance and theft was the least. The empirical study examined internal (corporate governance) and external (auditor and financial analysis) monitoring characteristics by matching the malfeasance companies with non-malfeasance companies. This empirical study did not find any significant differences in the monitoring characteristics of the companies even though these characteristics were chosen based on an examination of recommendations/requirements for business reporting for SOX and several accounting committees over the years. Previous studies indicated a difference.The research contributes to contemporary accounting literature by providing a dollar measurement of the accounting and related market impact for malfeasance companies and a systematic investigation testing monitoring characteristics between malfeasance and non-malfeasance companies.
Latitudinal variation in the multiphase chemical processing of inorganic halogens and related species over the eastern North and South Atlantic Oceans

Abstract. Volatile inorganic and size-resolved particulate Cl- and Br-species were measured in near-surface air over a broad range of conditions within four distinct regimes (European – EURO, North African – N-AFR, the Intertropical Convergence Zone – ITCZ, and South Atlantic – S-ATL) along a latitudinal gradient from 51° N to 18° S through the eastern Atlantic Ocean. Median dry-deposition fluxes of sea salt, oxidized N, and oxidized non-sea-salt S varied by factors of 25, 17, and 9, respectively, among the regimes. Sea-salt production was the primary source for inorganic Cl and Br. Acidification and dechlorination of sea salt primarily by HNO 3 sustained HCl mixing ratios ranging from medians of 82 (ITCZ) to 682 (EURO) pmol mol −1 . Median aerosol pHs inferred from HCl phase partitioning with super-μm size fractions ranged from ~3.0 for EURO to ~4.5 for ITCZ. Because SO 2 solubility over this pH range was low, S(IV) oxidation by hypohalous acids was unimportant under most conditions. Simulations with a detailed multiphase box model indicated that BrCl photolysis and ClO + NO were the major sources for atomic Cl in all regimes. Simulated midday concentrations of Cl atoms ranged from 2.1×10 4 to 7.8×10 4 cm −3 in the ITCZ and N-AFR regimes, respectively. Measured particulate Br − (median enrichment factor = 0.25) was greater and volatile inorganic Br less than simulated values, suggesting that the halogen activation mechanism in the model overestimated Br-radical production and processing. Reaction with atomic Br was an important sink for modeled O 3 (5% in EURO to 46% in N-AFR). Formation of halogen nitrates accelerated the oxidation of NO x (NO + NO 2 ) primarily via hydrolysis reactions involving S aerosol. Relative to simulations with no halogens, lower NO x coupled with direct reactions involving halogens yielded lower steady state mixing ratios of OH (20% to 54%) and O 3 (22% to 62%) and lower midday ratios of OH:HO 2 (3% to 32%) in all regimes.

An Efficient Method for the Computation of Mixed Potential Green's Functions in Cylindrically Stratified Media

Closed-form mixed potential Green's functions (MPGFs) for cylindrically stratifled media are derived in terms of quasistatic- wave and surface-wave contributions. In order to avoid possible over∞ow/under∞ow problems in the numerical calculations of special cylindrical functions such as Bessel and Hankel functions, a novel form of the spectral-domain MPGFs is developed. Then, a two- level methodology is used for the approximation of the spectral- domain MPGFs. In the flrst step, the qusistatic components are extracted from the spectral-domain MPGFs, and then transformed into the space domain with the use of the Sommerfeld identity and its derivatives. In the second step, the remaining parts of the spectral-domain MPGFs are approximated in terms of pole-residue expressions via the rational function fltting method (RFFM). The proposed method is e-cient and fully automatic, which avoids an analytical cumbersome extraction of the surface wave poles (SWPs), prior to the spectrum fltting. In addition, this method can evaluate the spatial-domain MPGFs accurately and e-ciently for both the near- and far-flelds. Finally, numerical results for the spatial-domain MPGFs of a two-layer structure are presented and discussed.
The Sources of Long-Term Economic Growth for Turkey, 1880-2005

This article considers the sources of long-term economic growth for Turkey over the period 1880–2005. The period in question covers the decline and eventual dissolution of the former Ottoman Empire and the emergence of the new Turkish Republic in 1923. Hence, the article provides a unique look at the growth experience of these two different political and economic regimes. The article examines in detail the evolution of factors that led to growth in output across broad periods, including the post-World War II period and the era of globalization beginning in the 1980s. It also considers output growth in the agricultural and non-agricultural sectors separately and allows for the effects of sectoral re-allocation. The lessons from this exercise have important implications for Turkey's future economic performance, for its ability to converge to per capita income levels of developed countries, and for the viability of its current bid for European Union membership.
A reconstructed Siberian High index since A.D. 1599 from Eurasian and North American tree rings

The long‐term variability of the Siberian High, the dominant Northern Hemisphere anticyclone during winter, is largely unknown. To investigate how this feature varied prior to the instrumental record, we present a reconstruction of a Dec–Feb Siberian High (SH) index based on Eurasian and North American tree rings. Spanning 1599–1980, it provides information on SH variability over the past four centuries. A decline in the instrumental SH index since the late 1970s, related to Eurasian warming, is the most striking feature over the past four hundred years. It is associated with a highly significant (p < 0.0001) step change in 1989. Significant ∼3–4 yr spectral peaks in the reconstruction fall within the range of variability of the East Asian winter monsoon (which has also declined recently) and lend further support to proposed relationships between these large‐scale features of the climate system.
Application of bio-fertilizers for quality seedling production of (Jatropha carcus L.)

Jatropha curcas L. is a biofuel plant which substitutes the fossil fuels. A study was conducted to investigate the effects of Jatropha seeds inoculated with Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi, Azospirillum, and Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) at various combinations. The biofertilizer treated seeds were tested under field conditions and seedlings were uprooted at 45, 90, 135 and180 days. Combined microbial inoculations resulted in the significant increase of root and shoot length, shoot and root tolerance index, fresh and dry weight of shoot, root and leaves and leaf area of all treated plants compared to control. After 180 days, chlorophyll contents were analyzed and the results indicated that the plants inoculated with Azospirillum + PSB +VAM fungi showed the significant increase. Morphological and biochemical contents of Jatropha plants were significantly increased by the effect of combined biofertilizers compared to either individual biofertilizer or control. Bio fertilizers accelerated the assimilation of nutrients to the plants.
Inseparability criteria based on matrices of moments

Inseparability criteria for continuous and discrete bipartite quantum states based on moments of annihilation and creation operators are studied by developing the idea of Shchukin-Vogel criterion Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 230502 2005. If a state is separable, then the corresponding matrix of moments is separable too. Thus, we derive generalized criteria based on the separability properties of the matrix of moments. In particular, a criterion based on realignment of moments in the matrix is proposed as an analog of the standard realignment criterion for density matrices. Other inseparability inequalities are obtained by applying positive maps to the matrix of moments. Usefulness of the Shchukin-Vogel criterion to describe bipartite-entanglement of more than two modes is demonstrated: we obtain various three-mode inseparability criteria, including some previously known ones, which were originally derived from the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.
Land subsidence induced by the overexploitation of the aquifers in Kalochori village- new approach by means of the computational geotechnical engineering

Land subsidence induced by the overexploitation of the aquifers in Kalochori village has been occurring since 1965. The excessive water pumping led to the development of surface subsidence reaching, in several areas, the maximum values of 3 to 4m. The evaluation of the geological, geot-echnical and hydrogeological setting of the wider Kalochori region as well as the historical background of the subsidence phenomena provided variable data, which were finally used for the study of the phenomenon by means of a finite element method simulation. The availability of the various geodetic records allowed the cross-checking of the results and the conduction of all necessary back analyses. Also, the knowledge of the land use distribution and the activities taking place in the wider Kalochori region helped the rational interpretation of the phenomenon and the detection of its causal factors.
The effect of institutional investing behavior on the link between CEO pay and performance: an empirical study in the United States

This study examines the influence of different types of institutional investors on the relation between pay and performance for CEOs. Institutional investors are classified in three distinct groups: dedicated investors with large average investments and low portfolio turnover, transient investors with highly diversified portfolios and high portfolio turnover, and quasiindexers with highly diversified portfolios and low portfolio turnover. The pay-performance sensitivity is calculated separately for cash compensation, that is bonus plus salary, total compensation, and stock option grants using the Black-Scholes-Merton model adjusted for dividends. Using an extensive sample from 1993 to 2015 with over 3.000 unique firms, no evidence is found that institutional ownership affects the pay-performance sensitivity with respect to cash and total compensation. Significant evidence, however, has been found that the percentage of total shares held by quasi-indexer and transient institutional investors positively affect the stock option pay-performance sensitivity. Moreover, evidence has been found that these effects differ during preand post-crisis periods, as the effect of the percentage of total shares held by transient institutional investors on stock option pay-performance sensitivity disappears and shifts to dedicated institutional ownership in the post-crisis period. These findings indicate that the investing behavior of institutional investors play a role to shape the relation between performance and pay, but not for every component of the remuneration
