Heap leaching is often the most cost-effective way to extract value from gold or copper ores. Heap leaching involves placing ore-grade material on an impermeable liner foundation with a solution collection system of drainpipes and irrigating the surface with either cyanide solution (for gold) or acid (for copper). Within the heap, chemical reactions occur which liberate the payable metal from the rock. The resultant solution, called pregnant leach solution (PLS), reaches the liner and the collection pipes, and then reports to a storage facility (pond) for processing where the metal is removed, the solution conditioned, and re-applied to the HLP [heap leach pad] as barren leach solution (BLS). 1, record 1, English, - barren%20leach%20solution

Les soins immédiats en réanimation (SIR) sont généralement décrits comme une séquence d'interventions [...] La plupart des dispensateurs de soins, cependant, travaillent en équipe, et les membres de cette équipe administrent habituellement les SIR simultanément. À titre d'exemple, un secouriste commence immédiatement à pratiquer les compressions thoraciques pendant qu'un autre va chercher un défibrillateur externe automatisé (DEA) et demande de l'aide, alors qu'un troisième dégage les voies aériennes et pratique des insufflations. 1, record 2, French, - soins%20imm%C3%A9diats%20en%20r%C3%A9animation

Disease affecting broiler breeder hens, characterised by decreased egg production, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly and a slight increase in mortality. Transmission, serological and epidemiological studies indicate it has a viral cause. The virus, designated big liver and spleen virus (BLSV), is serologically distinct from common avian viruses, however extensive attempts to fully characterise it are still in progress. 1, record 5, English, - big%20liver%20and%20spleen%20disease
