Screening ultrasound plays a crucial role in emergency services, offering a rapid and accurate method for detecting definitive signs of intestinal obstruction, such as paralytic ileus or mechanical blockage. Its portability, real-time imaging capabilities, and lack of radiation make it ideally suited for peripheral emergency health services with limited technical and human resources. Ultrasound triage, when per...
ABSTRACT: Thermoelectric materials have considerable potential in the mitigation of the global energy crisis, through their ability to convert heat into electricity. This study aims to valorize natural resources, and potentially reduce production costs, by incorporating tetrahedrite-tennantite (td) ores from the Portuguese Iberian Pyrite Belt into synthetic samples. The ore samples were collected in a mine wast...
ABSTRACT: This study examines the chemical and mineralogical composition of waste materials from abandoned copper and manganese mines in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, Portugal, as a first step toward their potential recycling for critical and strategic raw materials (CRM and SRM). Using portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) and other analytical techniques, this research highlights the presence of valuable elements, inc...
