Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the detection of marble sculpture forgery made of cultured marble. Cultured marble is a mixture of marble dust, polyester and accelerators. Thus chemical analysis of cultured marble would give declined levels of calcium when compared to authentic sculptures. Since sample removal is a problem when dealing with archaeological heritage, the instrument used was portable X-Ray Fluorescence device which provides in situ analysis of the samples. Device has been used to analyze six authentic and four forgery sculptures. Seven of the sculptures were provided by Anatolian Civiliza

Abstract:

Expansive soils occurring in arid and semi-arid climate regions of the world cause serious problems on civil engineering structures. Such soils swell when given an access to water and shrink when they dry out. Several attempts are being made to control the swell-shrink behavior of these soils. Soil stabilization using chemical admixtures is the oldest and most widespread method of ground improvement. In this study, waste limestone dust and waste dolomitic marble dust, by-products of marble industry, were used for stabilization of expansive soils. The expansive soil is prepared in laboratory as

Abstract:

The regime of islands, as captured in Article 121 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) grants a 200 nautical mile exclusive economic zone and continental shelf to all islands apart from "rocks which cannot sustain human habitation or economic life of their own." The provision was undoubtedly drafted in an intentionally ambiguous manner in order to strike a compromise between the contrasting views of States surrounding the regime of islands. Consequently, Article 121 is riddled with textual ambiguities. For example, the text does not further define the word "rock"; nor

Previous psychological research has demonstrated the benefits of visiting natural environments, especially coastal areas. However, research within Marine Biology has shown that such visits can harm natural habitats. Consequently, this thesis uses an integrative approach to examine both the risks to the environment and benefits to the human visitors in the context of rocky shores (intertidal areas where solid rock predominates). This was investigated using seven studies that involved a range of methods. Perception-based surveys (Studies 1 & 2) explored the perceived impacts on the visitor, and

The commercial rock lobster industry was established in 1949, and the fishery is currently recognised as sustainable, and as a result was awarded a Marine Stewardship Council Certification in 2011.

Abstract:

Rock pools can be found in most rocky intertidal marine environments across the globe. Despite the vast body of literature describing the organization of ecological communities and biota inhabiting the greater rocky intertidal, very little effort has been given to rock pools. As a result they are far less understood than the adjacent emergent intertidal, particularly with respect to their fish communities. This is mostly due to the relative small size of rock pool fishes, their cryptic behaviour and morphologies, the relative difficulty in sampling intertidal fish utilizing conventional method

The western rock lobster, Panulirus cygnus, fishery represents a significant commercial asset to Western Australia, and it is therefore important that appropriate strategies are developed to effectively manage it. Because the fishery has a very high level of exploitation, researchers and managers rely significantly on annual stock assessments which are based on catch and effort data. This study will identify and assess the effects that changes in fishing power factors (e.g. advances in fish-finding technology) have had on estimates of catch and effort.

Brook trout invasion into bull trout streams is variable, and likely influenced by a suite of biotic and abiotic factors.

Abstract:

Cette étude concerne la partie sud-ouest du Massif du Falacro au nord de la Grèce (Macédoine orientale), un . massif de marbres limité par les plaines de Drama et de Nevrokopl et des Intrusions granitiques. Sa base imperméable est formée de schistes et gneiss. La fracturatlon représentée par quatre familles de failles 0° 20°N, 4O°-6O°N, l00°-120°N et 140°-170° a déterminé la morphologie contemporaine du massif. Elle conditionne également les écoulements souterrains et l'apparition des sources en voisinage de ces failles et le creusement des gouffres sur les failles et le creusement de la grott

Abstract:

En esta tesis se aborda la cuantificación, mediante censos visuales, de las pautas de variación espacial y temporal de los poblamientos de peces que viven en los fondos rocosos infralitorales del Mediterráneo occidental, a varias escalas espaciales, y se estima la importancia relativa de la estructura del hábitat rocoso para explicar dichas variaciones. En sucesivos estudios, utilizándose técnicas de análisis espacial, se muestra que riqueza, abundancia y diversidad de peces responden a las variaciones del hábitat estructural (distinguiéndose entre complejidad y heterogeneidad), tanto a escala

Abstract:

Etude de la penetration libre dans les sediments marins afin d'en evaluer les capacites de resistance au cisaillement ou pour determiner des profondeurs d'enfouissement maximales. Les phenomenes limitant l'enfouissement sont du a la portance et au frottement. On determine les proprietes rheologiques et dynamique de l'argile a partir d'une serie de tirs de projectiles effectues en fosse d'essais. L'etude du decelerogramme d'essai distingue les phases ou le comportement du sol au contact du penetreur varie depuis l'hydrodynamique jusqu'a la visco-plasticite

Abstract:

This study is an operational and tactical study of a battle fought by the U. S. 1st Marine Division near "the Punchbowl," an extinct volcano of military value in the Taebaek Mountains of Korea, from late August through mid September 1951. That engagement was to be the last 1st Marine Division offensive of the Korean War. This battle, for Yoke and Kanmubong Ridges, has received little coverage from historians. That it is all but forgotten is surprising, since it was one of the hardest fought for United States Marines in the war. The casualties were high, and Americans did not understand why so
