My Date with Editors
The book unfolds my professional performance. I have revealed my best and the worst both. It is a saga of a journalist though many would doubt whether work as proof -reader counts for journalism as it was not considered the mainstream of journalism, rather a stigma attached with the likes of me for 16 years in a row. Then there is reporting stint for 20 years which had its pitfalls and glory. Expressing views on contemporary issues has been changeable because I hold opinion and opinion does not hold me. Non-payment to my contribution to periodicals as free-lance journalist may sound grumbling, but it is pain of a pen- pusher who at last surmises that one cannot survive with free-lancing in B...
Rock Mechanics with Emphasis on Stress
On a global scale, crustal stresses are the result of plate tectonics. On a regional basis, the knowledge of stresses is of vital interest for deep mining, geothermal heat exploitation for electricity generation from deep hot rock formations, safe underground hazardous waste disposal scenarios in impermeable rock, and large-scale tunneling for high-speed traffic. This book originated in a workshop on Rock Mechanics with Emphasis on In-Situ Stress. The areas of focus includes a deeper understanding of large earthquake focal mechanics, the "Hot Dry Rock" (HDR) concept of geothermal energy exploitation, and the development of strategies for the stimulation of deep-seated fresh water reservoirs. Rock Mechanics with Emphasis on Stress will be of interest to geologists, seismologists, and geotechnical and civil engineers.
Wireless Communication in Underground Mines
Wireless communication has emerged as an independent discipline in the past decades. Everything from cellular voice telephony to wireless data transmission using wireless sensor networks has profoundly impacted the safety, production, and productivity of industries and our lifestyle as well. After a decade of exponential growth, the wireless industry is one of the largest industries in the world. Therefore, it would be an injustice if the wireless communication is not explored for mining industry. Underground mines, which are characterized by their tough working conditions and hazardous environments, require fool-proof mine-wide communication systems for smooth functioning of mine workings a...
Performance of Explosives and New Developments
There is considerable scope for improving the outcome of any blasting operation through basic understanding and application of the principles of blasting science and technology. The main objective of Performance of Explosives and New Developments is to sensitize the practitioner to critically examine the various empirical approaches in blasting whi
National Seminar on Development Planning of Coastal Placer Minerals
Papers presented at the conference organized by Central Mining Research Institute in collaboration with Manonmanium Sundaranar University, Tirunelveli, Oct. 26-27, 2005; with reference to India.
Tunneling in Rock by Drilling and Blasting
Tunnelling in Rock by Drilling and Blasting presents the latest developments in the excavation of tunnels using the drilling and blasting method. Examples of work conducted throughout the world including the Indian sub-continent, Australia, and Sweden amongst others are discussed. These tunnel projects serve to illustrate the challenges and i
Analytical Methods in Petroleum Upstream Applications
Effective measurement of the composition and properties of petroleum is essential for its exploration, production, and refining; however, new technologies and methodologies are not adequately documented in much of the current literature. Analytical Methods in Petroleum Upstream Applications explores advances in the analytical methods and instrumentation that allow more accurate determination of the components, classes of compounds, properties, and features of petroleum and its fractions. Recognized experts explore a host of topics, including: A petroleum molecular composition continuity model as a context for other analytical measurements A modern modular sampling system for use in the lab o...
Matter
How would the universe appear to an observer who is larger than it? A pulsating material body or an inflating balloon? In 1997, scientists were trying to find the amount of "Dark Matter" needed to slow down the expansion of the universe. Surprisingly, comparing the brightness of the supernovae of the distant and nearby galaxies, they found that the universe was actually inflating at an accelerated rate. It was guessed that there must be some "Dark Energy" that was pushing the galaxies from each other. The author interprets their observation in a reverse way by correcting a probable mistake and shows it as concrete evidence of the slowing down of the universe, which speaks in favour of the presence of the Dark Matter that the scientists were initially looking for. By doing this, he tries to re-establish the theory of the pulsating universe as conjectured by the scientists of the twentieth century and negates the concept of "the beginning of time". He also extends this to a "theory of pulsating electrons", which leads to a new way of understanding the equations of Maxwell and Einstein and finally to the mode of existence of the material world as a whole.
Nano-phytoremediation and Environmental Pollution
The book discusses nano-phytoremediation: the use of nanotechnology in combination with phytoremediation to restore polluted environs. The potentiality of plants in association with nanomaterials to effectively remediate polluted areas is elaborated meritoriously in this book. New strategies are necessary because anthropogenic actions represent a serious threat to life on Earth. This book has given enough space for a discussion of innovative and efficient technologies to restore damaged environs primarily focused on nano-phytoremediation. The first part of the book is dedicated to exploring organic and inorganic pollution and the threats they pose to living forms. The second part explores th...
