In the present work we highlight the effectiveness of integrating different techniques and tools for better surveying, mapping and collecting data in volcanic areas. We use an Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) approach for data collection, integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis in a well-known volcanological site in Santorini (Metaxa mine), a site where volcanic processes influenced the island’s industrial development, especially with regard to pumice mining. Specifically, we have focused on: (i) three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution IVR scenario building, based on Structure from Motion photogrammetry (SfM) modeling; (ii) subsequent geological survey, mapping and data collection using IVR; (iii) data analysis, e.g., calculation of extracted volumes, as well as production of new maps in a GIS environment using input data directly from the IVR survey; and finally, (iv) presentation of new outcomes that highlight the importance of the Metaxa Mine as a key geological and volcanological geosite.

This paper describes a way of co-operation between industries, universities and government that has proven to be very fruitful. The Swedish Gas Turbine Centre (GTC) is constituted as a research consortium between technical universities and gas turbine industry. The overall goal of the centre, that was founded in 1996 on a governmental initiative, is to build up a basis of knowledge at Swedish universities to support the industrial development in Sweden of gas turbines of the future with expected requirements on low emissions, high efficiencies, high availability, and low costs. Since the start the research has had a focus on high temperature components of gas turbines (combustion chamber and turbine). This is also reflected in the on-going development phase where the research program consists of four project areas: cooling technology, combustion technology, aeroelasticity, and life time prediction of hot components. The projects are aiming at developing design tools and calculation and verification methods within these fields. A total of eleven research students (among them one industrial PhD student) are active in the centre at present. Numerical analysis as well as experimental verification in test rigs are included. The program has so far produced eleven Licentiate of Engineering and five PhD. On-going activities and recent results of the research in the four research areas are presented: • A new test rig for investigation of time-dependent pressures of three-dimensional features on a vibrating turbine blade at realistic Mach, Reynolds and Strouhal numbers and first experimental results. • Results of numerical simulations of heat loads on turbine blades and vanes, especially platform cooling. • First results of numerical investigations of combustion and thermo-acoustic instabilities in gas turbine chambers. • Experimental investigation of crack propagation in gas turbine materials using the scanning electron microscope (SEM).

The injury and failure diseases of human tissues and organs, such as heart failure and chronic kidney disease, seriously threaten human health and life safety. At present, however, organ transplantation has obvious limitations, and tissue engineering is considered as a potential alternative therapy. Tissue engineering uses the construction of cells, biomaterials and bioreactors to develop three-dimensional artificial tissues and organs for the enhancement, repair and replacement of damaged or diseased tissues and organs, which contributes to the fundamental solutions of diseases of tissues and organs as well as to the improvement of human health. This paper introduces the research progress of tissue engineering technology in the field of living organs from three aspects: seed cells, application of growth factors and biomimetic preparation of functionalized scaffold materials, hoping to provide help and ideas for the research and industrial development of the repair and reconstruction of human organs.

ABSTRACT. The Salitre River basin, which is located in the semi-arid land of northeastern Brazil, is annually faced with severe surface-water scarcity. Twomain aquifersystems, which are distributed in depth, can be exploited to supply the water needs of the population and its present agro-industrial development: (i) a fractured-karst,water-table component, totally developed within the upper carbonate sequence of the Salitre Formation; and (ii) a fractured-clastic, semi-confined component, mostlikely associating lower Salitre limestones with the meta-sandstones of the Morro do Chap´eu Formation. Geophysical efforts have been useful in developing a regional,three-dimensional characterization of these two aquifer components of the Salitre river aquifer system and in detailing a useful electric tomographic scheme to implementtheir exploration. The geophysical survey, which comprised 64 Schlumberger electrical soundings of resistivity and five tomographic sections, was combined with welldata to define the geometric and hydraulic characteristics of these aquifer components. The inversion of the resistivity data, under the control of the well data, was usefulto reduce electrical ambiguities and to better define the depth of the water table and that of the thick, impervious aquifer substrate. The lateral and depth boundaries of thefracture-karst aquifer zones were outlined, allowing the estimation of a total reserve of approximately 100 billion m3 of groundwater. Chemical analysis of water samplescollected at production wells was used to define a water quality zoning within the basin. These results are very important to define an optimum exploration regime for thegroundwater available in the basin.Keywords: electrical sounding, tomographic section, Salitre aquifer system. RESUMO. A bacia hidrogáafica do rio Salitre faz parte da região semiárida da Bahia e, por isso, apresenta severa escassez de água superficial. Dois principais componentes aquíferos, distribuídos em profundidade, podem ser explorados para suprir as necessidades hídricas da população humana e de seu incipiente desenvolvimento agroindustrial: (i) um componente cárstico-fraturado, de natureza livre, desenvolvido nas rochas carbonáticas superiores da Formação Salitre; e (ii) um componentefraturado, semi-confinado, combinando rocha basais da sequência Salitre e unidades meta-quartzíticas da Formação Morro do Chapéu. Foram executadas 64 sondagens elétricas verticais usando o arranjo Schlumberger de eletrodos, centradas em pontos selecionados da bacia, e cinco seções tomográficas de resistividade, para detalhara estrutura subsuperficial de locais selecionados. A inversão dos dados de resistividade aparente, com controle de informações de poços, foi útil para reduzir ambiguidades elétricas e melhor definir as profundidades do nível estático e do topo do espesso substrato impermeável do sistema aquífero Salitre. Esses estudos permitiramavaliar, regionalmente, os recursos hídricos subterrâneos da bacia, em termos de geometria e características hidráulicas, bem como propor um procedimento para efetuar tomografia elétrica bidimensional, visando sua efetiva exploração por meio de poços. Os limites laterais e em profundidade das zonas de maior carstificação e de densos fraturamentos foram delineados, possibilitando estimar uma reserva total de água no sistema do rio Salitre em cerca de 220 bilhões de m3. Análises físico-químicas deamostras de água coletadas em poços foram usadas para caracterizar a variabilidade na qualidade da água subterrânea na bacia. Tais resultados podem ser usados paraplanejar um regime de exploração eficiente e conservativo das reservas de água subterrânea disponíveis.Palavras-chave: sondagem elétrica, seção tomográfica, sistema aquífero Salitre.

Due to industrial development and population growth, global demand for energy has increased enormously. The increased consumption of primary sources of energy such as coal, oil and natural gas has exerted a strong influence on the atmospheric environment. Among all of the alternative fuels, hydrogen offers the greatest potential benefits to energy supply and the environment. In the current study computational investigations of a turbulent asymmetric vortex flame is presented. This study has predicted lean and stoichiometry flammability limits for hydrogen. The three dimensional flow fields have been described using a computational methodology that implements the k−ε RNG turbulence model. The computational model is validated for reaction flow. The special hydrogen-air mixing concept eliminates the risk of flame flashback and enables operation with very low NOx emissions.

Abstract In Rayer Bazaar, different industries like tannery, plastic, textile, battery recycling industry etc. are increasing rapidly without considering the environmental issues and deterioration. Since chromium (Cr) pollution of this area has been widely investigated due to the presence of tannery industries, this study was focused on examining other environmental factors. Field visits and analytical results of semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis as well as three dimensional excitation emission matrix spectroscopy (3DEEM) of water, soil and vegetative tissues indicated that, the area is highly polluted in term of different environmental parameters and metal content. The extremely high lead (Pb) content of the soil (1171.7 mg/kg in summer, 2157.1 mg/kg in winter) and blackish materials of vegetative tissues (6585.6 mg/kg in summer, 1974.1 mg/kg in winter) indicates excessive lead deposition of this area that makes it a lead polluted hotspot. One of the possible sources of the extremely high lead concentration is adjacent battery recycling industry and/or other industries surrounding this area. So it is urgent to take necessary steps to find out immediate options for possible mitigation.

The paper presents a summary of the results obtained by C. J. Cohen and E. C. Hubbard, who established by numerical integration that a resonance relation exists between the orbits of Neptune and Pluto. The problem may be explored further by approximating the motion of Pluto by that of a particle with negligible mass in the three-dimensional (circular) restricted problem. The mass of Pluto and the eccentricity of Neptune's orbit are ignored in this approximation. Significant features of the problem appear to be the presence of two critical arguments and the possibility that the orbit may be related to a periodic orbit of the third kind.
