The Infostations wireless data network architecture features discontinuous coverage and ultra-high radio rates for burst transfers of information between base and mobile. It has been shown previously that the infostations architecture can greatly increase the capacity of wireless data systems at the expense of increased delivery delay. In this work we explicitly consider the multiple access iss...

Introduction: Komatiites provide several ways of assessing the chemical and thermal evolution of the mantle. Komatiitic liquids are produced from very high degrees of partial melting of the deep mantle, and erupted as extremely fluid lavas.

This study looks at different waste resources contaminated materials present in setting as REE sources. Wastes other dilute sources such incineration ashes, sediments, mine tailings not only essential achieving a circular, carbon-neutral economy but may be most realistic o...
