Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for asset integrity monitoring for organizations having multiple locations, multiple facilities or production activities. A visualization platform is provided for presenting status points from a variety of sources for different systems including maintenance, inspection, and operation programs to allow timely intervention by decision makers (i.e. operators, foremen, supervisors, managers, etc.) for all activities of an organization and to ensure safe operation. In addition, systems and methods described herein provide scalable solutions, allow for customization to organizational structure, and definition of requirements of all safety critical elements. Methods include monitoring safety critical elements by integrating data from a plurality of sources and updating integrity performance standards for safety critical elements and determining status levels for each safety critical element.

Abstract: A process for recovering valuable products from ore containing boron and lithium, such as jadarite ore, includes an acid digestion step and downstream steps that recover valuable boron-containing and lithium-containing products.

Abstract: There is disclosed a process for preparing carboranyl uridine nucleoside compounds and their diethyl ether adducts, which exhibit a tenfold increase in boron content over prior art boron containing nucleoside compounds. Said carboranyl uridine nucleoside compounds exhibit enhanced lipophilicity and hydrophilic properties adequate to enable solvation in aqueous media for subsequent incorporation of said compounds in methods for boron neutron capture therapy in mammalian tumor cells.
