_~ A. A I OF -E' The automatic control panel of the C54 which recently made the pilotless transatlantic flight being inspected by James L. Anast (right), chief of the Army's automatic flight branch of the All-Weather Flying Center, and Capt. Thomas J. Wells (left), Army test pilot, of Orlando, Florida, shortly after the plane's arrival at the Brise Norton Aerodrome near London on September 23 (...

InGaN/GaN light-emitting diode structures with Al-coated GaN nanorods were fabricated by using soft ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography. The intensity of light emission was found to be greatly enhanced due to the strong near-fields confined at the interface of Al/GaN and extended to the multiple quantum wells (MQWs) active region. The dynamics of carrier recombination and plasmon-enhanced Raman...

Gas reservoirs usually have high recovery due to high mobility and low residual gas saturation, although some of them producing under water-drive mechanism have low recovery efficiency. Encroachment of water into these reservoirs traps considerable amount of gas and increases the maximum residual gas saturation, which results in the reduction of gas and condensate production. Generally, the rec...

BACKGROUND The tick infestation of the lower lid is a quite rare condition. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 40 years old caucasian female who presented with the above condition after camping in the Norfolk area, UK. CONCLUSION Tick bite can be responsible for many diseases the most common being Lyme disease which can affect the eyes in several ways. It is still debatable whether or ...

Radon levels were surveyed in 517 monitoring wells constructed in five major groundwater areas of Taiwan. The radon concentration in groundwater samples varied in a wide range from below the detection limit of 18 pCi/L up to 1,100 pCi/L. A worldwide comparison of reported groundwater radon levels was conducted. Overall radon levels in Taiwan groundwater are relatively low compared to other coun...

Increased groundwater demand is causing aquifer declines that impact viability of groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) like springs and phreatophyte communities. To understand which communities may be stressed by level in Oregon Nevada, we assessed trends nearby monitoring wells. Very few were near wells with adequate data. Less than 1% >50,000 Nevada within 800 m analyzed wells, only...

Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have enhanced energy production but raised concerns about drinking-water contamination and other environmental impacts. Identifying the sources and mechanisms of contamination can help improve the environmental and economic sustainability of shale-gas extraction. We analyzed 113 and 20 samples from drinking-water wells overlying the Marcellus and Bar...

From the beginning of the 80’s, the PETROBRÁS, Brazilian petroleum company, started the hydrocarbonets economic exploration in Urucu (AM), in the West Amazon region. This paper presents multitemporal study of the specific area of the Urucu (AM) region called Jurua’s petroleum and gas natural camps in which the land used changed due to the geophysical surveying, opening roads, drlling wells etc ...
