AMAZON'S PIG IRON INDUSTRY: THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGE

environmental effects of gol-e-gohar iron ore mine on groundwater of the area

gol-e-gohar iron ore mine of sirjan in southern part of iran is a large open pit that operates below the groundwater table and during mining operation, dewatering is required to prevent operation processes from flooding. current operation is going on by digging wells in or out of the pit and pumping to prevent flooding. as a result of the former dewatering operation a vast deep cone of depressi...

Solving Amazons *

We present a method of exhaustively solving the popular combinatorial game Amazons in a parallel setting. The game has a high branching factor with high overlap, making it difficult to search in parallel. We exploit some structural properties of game positions to minimise game tree expansion, and use a parallel breadth-first search algorithm on the game tree. Throughput is maximised by allowing...

The Challenge of International Sanctions against Iranian Radio-Pharmaceutical Industry

Abstract: This paper is about Iranian health industry facing the challenges created by the comprehensive international sanctions. This paper aims to give a realistic account of the different positive and negative impacts of the factor of international collaboration (or rather, the lack thereof) on the dual aspects of "technological and non-technological" catching up process. The case study is r...

The Pig Pro Decision, Networking, and Environmental Protection: The Public Policy Challenge

Experiments in Computer Amazons

Amazons is a relatively new game with some similarities to the ancient games of chess and Go. The game has become popular recently with combinatorial games researchers as well as in the computer games community. Amazons combines global full-board with local combinatorial game features. In the opening and early middle game, the playing pieces roam freely across the whole board, but later in the ...
