Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems | | Spanish term or phrase: vprm | In a presentation on sustainability in the mining industry there is a list of the various stages in setting up a project and under Fase Exploracion is the acronym *VPRM*. I think the V stands for value as the presentation is all about creating value and the next acronym is VPP which looks like it could be Positive Predictive Value.

| | English translation:VPRM (Vantage Project Resource Management) | Explanation:
Without more context, I wonder if VPRM could refer to a computer program apparently used by mining/mineral engineers. In that case, it should be left as is since VPRM is already an English acronym. I suggest asking the client for clarification.

The take-off and requisitions of materials and equipment is
controlled via the Vantage Project Resource Management (VPRM)
computer program. This program allows the control
and management of all materials at all the stages of an EPC
project. The VPRM system guarantees a smooth engineer-
ing-procurement interface and considerably reduces work
times and project costs.

The flux maps are created in a newly developed ensemble data assimilation system that consists of the atmospheric Transport Model v5 (TM5), the Vegetation Photosynthesis Respiration Model (VPRM), and an efficient Bayesian least-squares algorithm to optimize the fluxes from different biomes in VPRM against CO2 mixing ratios from the NOAA-CMDL observing network.

And, yes, I think VPP (valor predictivo positivo) would be positive predictive value (PPV). |
