چکیده
t was March 17 2004, around 5 PM in the evening. I was in one of the villages of Kathmandu valley. There are plenty of brick kilns, especially, Bull's Trench brick kilns. The labourers were working there as the sun slowly set behind the hills in the West. Some of them were moulding the bricks while others were carrying the bricks from the field to the chimney site. The field was hot, dusty and dirty. There were many Indians, possibly from Bihar, in the chimney site to fire the bricks. As I approached one of the brick kilns, I saw a large number of people gathering there. I thought there was definitely, something wrong. Most probably labourers were quarrelling with kiln owner. By the time a woman came towards me from the crowd. I dared to ask her as to what had happened. She told that a one year old male child had drowned. I was moved and ran to the place. Actually, I had already witnessed similar incident. That was two weeks before in another village, a labourer had informed but the baby was revived and had been sent to the hospital by the time I reached.

متن کاملBuckling of multi wall carbon nanotube cantilevers in the vicinity of graphite sheets using monotone positive method
In this paper, a monotone positive solution is studied for buckling of a distributed model of multi walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) cantilevers in the vicinity of thin and thick graphite sheets subject to intermolecular forces. In the modeling of intermolecular forces, Van der Waals forces are taken into account. A hybrid nano-scale continuum model based on Lennard–Jones potential is applied to ...
