— If we were able to foresee the future, we could be prepared to reduce the impact of bad situations as well as getting the most of profiting periods. Our world is a dynamic system that evolves as time goes by. The number of variables that can influence in future situations outnumbers our capacity of prediction at a first glance. This article will show an alternative way to foresee potential fu...

The application of chemistry to the technological requirements of the mineral industry is attended by problems of communication, isolation and application. Examples of research related to mineral exploration, underground fires, and the treatment of refractory ores suggest that the effective mineral chemist must learn the language of geology, metallurgy and engineering; that he must extend his s...

JEL Classification J33, L85, M52. This study investigated the effects of salary structure, performance requirements, and type of business on the performance of housing agents. The participants in the study survey consisted of the employees of real estate firms in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Restricted and unrestricted regression models were used to compare the goodness-of-fit of the regression models. A...

At the present stage, development of oil and gas industry in Russian Federation is impossible without replenishing raw material base, so urgent task to conduct investigations, prospecting evaluation bearing capacity prospects undiscovered areas. The purpose investigations analyze facies thicknesses, choose methodology exploration reservoirs, make a comprehensive assessment based on experimental...

Geophysical surveys are a noninvasive reliable tool to improve geological models without requiring extensive in situ borehole campaigns. The usage of seismic refraction tomography (SRT), electrical resistivity (ERT) and data for calibrating is very appropriate define landslide body geometries; however, it still only used occasionally. We present here the case Spanish Pyrenees slow-moving landsl...
