Slope Water Intrusion to the Great South Channel During Autumn, 1977-85

The great slippery-slope argument.

Whenever some form of beneficent killing--for example, voluntary euthanasia--is advocated, the proposal is greeted with a flood of slippery-slope arguments warning of the dangers of a Nazi-style slide into genocide. This paper is an attempt systematically to evaluate arguments of this kind. Although there are slippery-slope arguments that are sound and convincing, typical formulations of the Na...

Improvements and complications involved with adding an 85-GHz channel to cloud liquid water radiometers

The improvement in cloud-liquid estimates by a microwave radiometer with the addition of measurements at 85 GHz is quantified. Atmospheric emission is simulated from radiosonde data at frequencies commonly used by ground-based water-vapor radiometers (22.235 and 31.65 GHz) and also at 85.5 GHz. Retrieval algorithms are developed from opacities based on full Mie extinction by cloud droplets and ...

consequence analysis of the leakage, ignition and explosion during high pressure sour gas injection process to the oil reservoir

there is no doubt that human being needs to become integrated with industry and industry needs to be progressed, daily. on the other hand, serious events in industrial units specially in oil industries has been shown that such damages and events are industry related ones. the consequence of such events and damages which resulted in chemical and poisoned explosions and loss of life and property ...

Source Process of the Great 1977 Sumba Earthquake

In order to investigate the applicability of the asperity model to intraplate earthquakes we have studied the rupture process of the great 1977 Sumba normal-faulting earthquake (Mw=8.2-8.3), one of the largest earthquakes since 1963. This event has been variously interpreted as a plate detachment event (i.e., rupture through the entire lithosphere) or a shallow plate-bending event. We have anal...
