This paper presents a study on the estimation of water content of oilsands tailings using spectral reflectance measurements in the solar range (350–2500 nm). Spectral measurements were collected in the laboratory from two types of tailings namely Mature Fine Tailings (MFT) and samples from a Tailings Solvent Recovery Unit (TSRU). Several spectral features such as absolute reflectance, depth of the...
The separability of bitumen from oil sand depends on a number of factors. Some of these factors are observable using reflectance spectrometry in the infrared range. Bitumen recovery performance tests were conducted using a Denver cell for water flotation of aerated bitumen froth under a standard set of operating conditions. Hyperspectral measurements were made of ore samples and oil froth. Features...
Aims/hypothesis The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway plays a critical role in promoting the survival of pancreatic beta cells. Akt becomes activated in isolated human islets following overnight culture despite significant levels of cell death. The aim of the current study was to identify the cause of the observed increase in Akt phosphorylation in isolated islets. We hypothesised that...
