Abstract To obtain rockburst characteristics at rock engineering, the event, in situ stress characteristics, and proneness are studied a deep gold mine. The severity of increases with cover depth main locations spalling events include roof sidewall. measurement results show this area that is controlled by horizontal constructional pressure, self-weight also has an important influence. mechanism...

We summarise some aspects of experiments currently being built or planned, and indulge in wild speculation about possibilities on the more distant horizon. The satellite missions MAP and Planck dominate any view of future measurements of the anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background. We will attempt to look beyond and around those two experiments and see what sorts of physical questions oth...

are in general excellent, and the printed discussion is both informative and interesting. This volume reviews the field very well and indicates aspects of the field in which there is diversity of opinion. This volume is mainly concerned with problems of bacterial adaptation and considers many different aspects, including the problems of genetic and non-genetic factors in adaptation, enzymatic a...

FIST121 Making a Killing: Murder and True Crime Non/Fiction Narratives This course explores the genre of true crime in a comparative setting and by way of a study of different typologies of murder: spree killing, fratricide, serial killing, and infanticide. Roland Barthes wrote in Mythologies that, "Periodically, some trial, and not necessarily fictitious like the one in Camus's THE STRANGER, c...

Acetoin (acetylmethylcarbinol) has been found in minute amounts in normal human urine (1) and in the blood of the cow, pig, sheep, and horse (2, 3). Westerfeld, Stotz, and Berg (4) have reported that in dogs the rate of disappearance of alcohol from the blood was increased by the administration of pyruvate and that of pyruvate by the administration of alcohol. They interpret their results as in...
