    Various Tunnel Excavation Methods used on the LHC Project

    Get PDF
    Civil Engineering construction work for the LHC Project began in April 1998 and is now well underway. A major part of this work is the construction of the new tunnels, caverns and cavern enlargements for the LHC experiments and machine. Currently, this underground work is being carried out for the two injection tunnels, TI2 and TI8, and at Point 1 for the Atlas Experiment. There are three contractors involved in these tunnelling works and each contactor is using a different technique. This paper will outline the different methods used for excavation and the reasons for these differences. It will also examine the other operations involved in the construction of major underground structures such as supply of materials to the tunnel face, evacuation of excavated material and ventilation

    Status, Dispersal, and Breeding Biology of the Exotic Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) in Arkansas

    The exotic Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) was first sighted in Arkansas at Harrison (Boone Co.) on 25 June 1989. Since this initial sighting the species has grown in numbers and is now present in 42 of 75 counties across the state. In the spring and summer of 2009 and 2010, 20 nests were observed in the urban areas of Fort Smith (Sebastian County). Fifteen of the 20 nests (75%) were located on human-made structures of which 13 (65%) were on an electrical substation and two (10%) were on utility poles. The remaining 5 nests (25%) were in trees. Mean nest height was 7.62 m (n = 20 nests), and the mean width of the nest site support was 40 cm (n = 6 nests). Thirteen of the 20 nests (65%) yielded fledgling(s). Three focal nests were chosen for intense observation. Nest building lasted 1 to 3 days (mean = 2 days); incubation period was 15 days; and fledging occurred 17-18 days after hatching (n = 3 nests). A total of 6 young fledged from these 3 nests

    Let\u27s look at herringbone dairies

    THE first of the modern type herringbone dairies in Western Australia was constructed by Mr. F. Tucker of Ruabon, in 1957. Since then there has been strong interest in this system, and there are now at least six such sheds operating in the district between Ludlow and Augusta. Many more are being constructed

    Information Security as Strategic (In)effectivity

    Full text link
    Security of information flow is commonly understood as preventing any information leakage, regardless of how grave or harmless consequences the leakage can have. In this work, we suggest that information security is not a goal in itself, but rather a means of preventing potential attackers from compromising the correct behavior of the system. To formalize this, we first show how two information flows can be compared by looking at the adversary's ability to harm the system. Then, we propose that the information flow in a system is effectively information-secure if it does not allow for more harm than its idealized variant based on the classical notion of noninterference
