Abstract Two systems are discussed in this chapter, which are copper activating zinc-iron system with and without depressants. Firstly, the system in the absence of depressants is discussed. And it is obtained that at a specific pH the activation for each mineral occurs in a certain range. Through the electrochemical methods and surface analysis the entity contributing to the activation can be identified which are usually copper sulphides and vary for different minerals. Secondly, the system with depressants is researched. And also the effects of pulp potential on the activation are discussed. The same conclusion can be obtained as the one from the former system. Furthermore, zeta potential are involved in the discussion of activation and die mechanism can be explained firom the changes of zeta potential. Similarly, the activation mechanism of this system is also studied through solution chemistry, bonding of activator with mineral surfaces and surface analysis.

The following section focuses on the variability of the clay bodies or pastes of the glazed ceramics previously characterized by LA-ICP-MS and LA-TOF-ICP-MS. The purpose of this study is to compare the variation in the ceramic pastes with the different glaze decorative technologies through time. The variability in the ceramic pastes will be characterized through instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and petrographic analysis. 

Convective mass transport from small cavities is relevant to through-mask electrodeposition and to localized corrosion and has hence received much attention. In localized corrosion, mass transport is important for determination of the local environment inside an active pit. For through-mask deposition, an understanding of mass transport may be important for design of mixing methods or for analysis of measured deposit profiles. The electrodeposition in circular or rectangular cavities formed by a photoresist has been studied by Kondo etal. it was found that the shapes of deposited bumps can be explained by calculations of vortex evolution and penetration flow. 

Environmental monitoring is broadly defined as the study, through repeated observations, of the interrelationship between man s activities and natural phenomena 80). For purposes of chemical exposure assessment, monitoring may be more specifically defined as the repeated sampling and analysis of the... 

It was therefore possible to study the time course of iodocompound-pro-cessing activities in brain through application of straightforeward radiochemical methods of analysis. 

The principal tool supporting this activity is the full-scope Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) that WSRC is developing for the SRS reactors. The PRA, when completed, will include Level 1, 2, and 3 analyses. The Level 1 analysis identifies core damage sequences and their frequencies. The Level 2 analysis studies each accident sequence from core melt progression, through confinement system response, to the release of radionuclides to the environment. The Level 3 analysis takes the release from each accident sequence and estimates the consequences. Accident initiators Include Internal events, which are associated with component failures in the reactor systems, and external events, which are outside the reactor systems, such as earthquakes, fire, or flooding. 

A distribution network 33 kV, three-phase 50 Hz feeding an industrial belt with a number of medium-sized factories some with non-linear loads and some with static drives and some with both. It was observed that while the lines were apparently running reasonably loaded, the active power supplied was much below the capacity of the network. Accordingly, a harmonic study of the network was conducted and it was found that despite localized p.f. control by most factories, the p.f. of the network itself was well below the optimum level and the voltage was also distorted by more than was permissible. To improve this network to an acceptable level, we have considered the following load conditions, as were revealed through the analysis.
