the paper is concerned with the hydrogeological appraisal of the proposed mining operations in thethar lignite field in sindh, pakistan. the thar coalfield covers an area of approximately 9000km2 andcontains three lignite seams lying at depth of 130m to 250 m. in the thar lignite field, the presence ofthree main aquifers induces pore pressure in the rock mass surrounding the lignite seams and m...

This paper describes the applicability of 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, as a cheap, stable and commercially available catalyst, in the promotion of the synthesis of 1,8-dioxo-octahydro-xanthenes (DOXOs) via the one-pot condensation of aldehydes and cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds. This novel synthetic method has the advantages of high yields, short reaction times, low cost and av...

In this paper, we enlarge the language of triangle algebra by addinga unary operation that describes properties of a state. Thesestructure algebras are called state triangle algebra. The vitalproperties of these algebras are given. The notion of state interval-valued residuated lattice (IVRL)-filters are introduced and givesome examples and properties of them are given. ...

This paper describes current rover field testing activities of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and presents results obtained to-date. These field tests were collaborative activities between JPL engineers and a team of scientists from several universities and NASA centers. The broad objective of these field tests is to simulate, as closely as possible, realistic mission scenarios for upco...

One of the most effective ways of synthesizing carbon nanotubes is the arc discharge method. This paper describes a system supported by a magnetic field which can be generated by an external coil. An electric arc between two electrodes is stabilized by the magnetic field following mass flux stabilization from the anode to the cathode. In this work four constructions are compared. Different conf...

The organisation and design of field hospitals within the British Army has been under review since the GulfWar. This paper discusses principles for the organisation and design of field hospitals and makes suggestions for further development. The paper describes the deployment of field hospitals from a 25 bed hospital troop up to a 200 bed field hospital.

Hot-melt extrusion is one of the most widely applied processing technologies in the plastic, rubber and food industry. Today this technology has found its place in the array of pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. Melt extrusion process are currently applied in the pharmaceutical field for the manufacture of a variety of dosage forms and formulations such as granules, pellets, tablets, supp...

This report describes the preparation of a safe and immunogenic single vaccine against capripox disease in sheep and goats using two different types of cells (primary lamb kidney and vero, a bovine turbinate cell line). This used the 0240 pox strain isolated from sheep during an outbreak. The prepared vaccine was administered subcutaneously and induced complete protection against an experimenta...
