Rock Fragmentation by Blasting contains the papers presented at the
10th International Symposium on Rock Fragmentation by Blasting (New
Delhi, India, 26-29 November 2012), and represents the most
advanced forum on blasting science and technology. The
contributions cover all major recent advancements in blasting and
fragmentation, from realistic treatment of the target rock;
modelling, measurement and prediction of blast results; control of
blast-induced damage, to special blast designs applicable to civil
construction and demolition projects. The latest developments on
environmental issues associated with blasting operations such as
vibrations, flyrock, and dust are also included. Rock Fragmentation
by Blasting provides the state-of-the-art in explosives and
blasting engineering, and will be a valuable source of information
for researchers and practitioners involved in these areas.
This is a concise book with comprehensive information on coal and
biomass ash generated from their combustion in thermal power
plants. It presents detailed studies on ash generated from
contrasting coal and biomass feedstocks, and provides a comparative
evaluation of these different ashes in terms of their origin,
properties, environmental hazards. Potential utilizations with
specific advantages and disadvantages of the respective ashes are
elaborated in detail, including some innovative means of ash
utilization for value addition purposes. By addressing both the
theory and commercial exploitation of these products, this book
will be helpful for industrialists, academicians and researchers
alike.

This book details the analytical processes, and interpretation of
the resulting data, needed in order to achieve a comprehensive
source-rock evaluation of organic-rich shales. The authors employ
case studies on Permian and Cretaceous shales from various Indian
basins and other petroleum-bearing basins around the world to
illustrate the key features of their organic-rich shale
characterization methodology. These case studies may also help to
identify potential zones within shale formations that could be
exploited for commercial gas and/or oil production. Given its
scope, the book will be of interest to all researchers working in
the field of source-rock analysis. In addition, the source-rock
evaluation techniques - and the various intricacies associated with
them - discussed here offer valuable material for postgraduate
geology courses.

Ethnobotany is very important because it traces the development of
humanity. Even the most ancient of civilizations relied upon
agriculture and the domestication of certain plants for forage,
medicinal, fiber, culinary and dye purposes. Ethnobotany also
traces the development of modern Medicine and Herbalism along with
the Paper, Chemical & Rubber Industries. It traces the origins
of Spiritualism and Shamanism. The mythical Tree of Knowledge of
the Bible may have been turned long ago to desert dust during the
many wars of the Old World, but it thrives in the peaceful verdant
rainforests of the New World, where it has been used to gain
knowledge of God, Nature & our Ancestral Relationship with the
forest for perhaps 10,000 yrs.
