Mining contributes to an increased tax revenues, export earnings, employment opportunities, infrastructure development, and transfer of technology to the host countries.However, there is a high risk of socio-economic enclaves or environmental damages caused by mining operations which include the release of heavy metals into water and soil resources

The paper considers the role of agency in human interaction with mobile devices.We Hot Dog Machines use multimodal conversation analysis to trace how mobile screen content is reproduced as locally relevant for updating information for co-present interlocutors.While informing-centered actions supported by mobile devices may sometimes have the charac

Prediction of gas reservoir performance in some industrial cases requires costly and time-consuming simulation runs and a strong CPU must be involved in the simulation procedure.Many reservoir parameters conform to a strong aquifer behavior on gas reservoir performance.Effects of parameters, including reservoir permeability, aquifer permeability, i

Infrared (IR) and passive microwave (PMW) satellite sea surface temperature (SST) retrievals are valuable to assimilate into high-resolution regional ocean forecast models.Still, there are issues related to these SSTs that need to be addressed to achieve improved ocean forecasts.Firstly, satellite SST products tend to be biased.Assimilating SSTs fr

Pants Many countries are very active in marine research and operate their own research fleets.In this decade, a number of research vessels have been renewed and equipped with the most modern navigation systems and tools.However, much of the research gear used for biological sampling, especially in the deep-sea, is outdated and dependent on wired op
