A Review on Mining Induced Earthquake
Abstract: Seismicity in mines, in general, depends on depth, production rate, mining geometry and geological discontinuities such as dykes, faults etc. Induced earthquakes differ from normal earthquakes in that they have occurred prematurely due to an external trigger. Except for much of the micro seismicity, the virgin state of stress in the Earth’s crust depends on, among other factors, gravity and tectonics. In, or near, a mine the stress state is …

CI Engine Modeling Techniques
Abstract: The internal combustion engine is a heat engine that converts chemical energy in a fuel into mechanical energy, usually made available on a rotating output shaft. Internal combustion engines can be classified in many ways primarily by the type of ignition system they use, spark ignition (SI) and compression ignition (CI). An SI engine starts the combustion process in each cycle by use of a spark plug. The spark plug …

A Contribution to the Study of Geographical Displacement of Crime using GIS–Kings Cross, London
Abstract: Displacement of crime is the specter that haunts crime prevention studies, in that, the crime problem does not go away but shifts from one location to another. The fact that crime is not reduced in an area but rather moves around means that trying to change the situation and circumstances surrounding the targeted area may not fully reduce crime. Research that has been previously carried out into the study of …

Biofertilizers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Abstract: India, being an agriculture-based country, there has always been a concern about crop improvement here. Chemical fertilizers increased crops yield, but eventually leached out soil, polluted water basins, degraded ecosystems, reducing soil fertility and thus causing damage to overall environment. Organic fertilizers are costlier and they released nutrients in the surrounding environment thus degrading soil and water quality and human health. Thus came into picture the use of GM crops …

Evaluating Building Density Analysis Using Geographical Information System
Abstract: In Mekelle city, urban sprawl is continuously expanding to the surrounding hinterland at an alarming rate without considering the inner infill area of the city. Moreover, several numbers of developers and land speculator hold large tract of vacant land. This has resulted because land speculators buy large aggregation lands and develop small part of their plot and keep the land until the price rises up. And this creates low density …
