Abstract: Methods for recovering gold from a refractory gold ore and concentrate are described. The method can include leaching the refractory gold ore and concentrate with the alkaline reagent under ambient or near-ambient conditions and a subsequent gold complexation. The method can optionally include separating a gold-containing leachate from a gold-unlocked solid residue obtained during the leaching step and performing a subsequent complexation on the gold-unlocked solid residue and optionally gold complexation on the gold-containing leachate. These methods can increase the gold recovery compared to conventional methods.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods for reducing the variability of inter-sample analyte measurements from a biological matrix. In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to methods for reducing the variability in the inter-sample levels of one or more proteins from a biological sample as measured by a proteomic assay.

Abstract: This invention allows the communication of mission critical data to devices that communicate within the same, or a separately connected, power distribution system. Devices operate by being connected to a power distribution system, subsystem, and or different but connected power system. Each device has a specific similar or different communication platform, architecture, protocol method and or process for performing a function and or distributing data. The invention allows all devices connected through the power system to communicate to one, some or all other devices as wanted; regardless of the type of architecture, protocol, platform, or type of power on the power system. Power systems can be connected by power or communication and can be separate. All powered devices utilizing the invention seamlessly operate, communicate and network for their specified reason(s) in their native formats without any needs of communication wiring using the power distribution system as the medium of communication.

Abstract: A diagnostic biochip comprising a solid support to which one or more specific nucleic acid ligands is attached in a spatially defined manner is provided. Each nucleic acid ligand binds specifically and avidly to a particular target molecule contained within a test mixture, such as a bodily fluid. Also provided are methods for the preparation of nucleic acid ligand biochips. Further, methods for the use of the nucleic acid ligand biochip in diagnosis of a medical condition and quantitative detection of a target molecule are provided.
