We report a case of death due to the effects of heroin concealed in a woman who was attempting to smuggle the drug into Kenya concealed within her gastro-intestinal tract. She was arrested at a Nairobi airport. While under police detention, she expelled a pellet par anum containing the drug then collapsed, after being forcefully fed on a heavy meal. She was taken to hospital in coma where she e...

Intracorporeal concealment of illicit drugs known as 'body packing' is uncommonly reported. A body packer with swallowed capsules containing Diacetylmorphine (heroin) for smuggling purposes presented with respiratory arrest and recovered after ventilatory support and nalaxone infusion.

dryland winter wheat (triticum sativum l.) generally grown in rotation with fallow or chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) constitutes a major crop in the west region of iran. information is limited on the success of more intensive dryland cropping systems while applying conservation tillage management. an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of five tillage systems on soil physical proper...

The method of fracturing of oil gas reservoir is considered as an instrumental one for maximizing the yield. Multiple loads in a well fracturing operation may compel tubing string to yield, break and/buckle in a permanent spiral, leading to severe financial deficit. Mathematical models for mechanical analysis of fracturing string in whole fracturing operation are developed on the basis of opera...

Signature-based malware detection is a very fundamental technique that detects malware by generating signatures. The detection however, is unable to detect obfuscated malware unless pre-generated signature is stored in the database. In this paper, we propose a combination of known packer detection, unpacking module, and heuristic scanning techniques to find and block a malicious program before ...

In a series of field experiments, we evaluate the influence of a small water pressure change on fracture aperture during a hydraulic test. An experimental borehole is instrumented at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) Underground Research Tunnel (KURT). The target fracture for testing was found from the analyses of borehole logging and hydraulic tests. A double packer system was...

When underground space requires excavation in areas below the water table, foundation system suffers from buoyancy, which leads to uplifting of superstructure. A deep can be used; however, cases where a hard layer is encountered, high driving forces and corresponding noises cause civil complaints urban areas. Micropiles an effective alternative option, due their performance despite short instal...
