Radioactivity of Coals and Fly Ashes

Coal, like most materials found in nature, contain trace quantities of the naturally occurring primordial radionuclides. Therefore, the combustion of coals results in the release into the environment of some natural radioactive elements and in a redistribution of these radioactive elements in the surface soil particularly in the vicinity of coal-fired power plants, where it can modify ambient r...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Re-usability of traffic signs for inactive drivers with consideration of personal characteristics and sign features

There has been an increasing concern about inactive drivers who would easily lead to road accidents and fatalities once return to driving. This study investigated the re-usability of traffic signs for inactive drivers with consideration of driver factors and cognitive sign features. Fifty-seven Hong Kong Chinese, who possessed a full driving license but had not driven for an extended period, co...

Activated carbons from oil-fired fly ashes

Introduction. The aim of this investigation is to prepare activated carbons with good sorbent characteristics from oil-fired fly ash, looking for suitable activation processes to produce surface sites with high reactivity on the carbonaceous matrices [1-4]. In particular, the nitrogen surface sites, formed by gaseous ammonia reaction at 800°C, could greatly increase the adsorption of gaseous sp...
