THE BORAX METHOD OF GOLD EXTRACTION FOR SMALL-SCALE MINERS

The Borax Method of Gold Extraction for Small-Scale Miners

Background.More than ten million small-scale miners (SSM) worldwide use mercury to extract gold, releasing large amounts of the toxic element into the environment.Alternatives to mercury have been suggested over the years to little avail.A group of miners in the Philippines Curling - Bags has demonstrated that borax, when used as a flux for smeltin

Bispecific engineered antibody domains (nanoantibodies) that interact noncompetitively with an HIV-1 neutralizing epitope and FcRn.

Libraries based on an isolated human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) constant domain 2 (CH2) have been previously diversified by random Tracks mutagenesis.However, native isolated CH2 is not very stable and the generation of many mutations could lead to an increase in immunogenicity.Recently, we demonstrated that engineering an additional disulfide bond a
