After using new blood sera tests, CDC concludes neither military records nor the self-assessments ofveterans are reliable guides to past exposure to dioxin IN 1967 and 1968 an area of South Viemam known as the III Corps tactical zone saw the war's heaviest spraying of the defoliant Agent Orange. So it was from the III Corps region that epidemiologists with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) ...

We consider the thermodynamics of minimally coupled massive scalar field in 3+1 dimensional Taub-NUT background. The brick wall model of 't Hooft is used. A quantization condition on the energy of the matter field, similar to the Dirac quantization condition, is required to find well behaved solution of the scalar field wave equation.When Scharzschild like coordinates are used it is found that ...

The brick-wall model seeks to explain the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy as a wall-contribution to the thermal energy of ambient quantum fields raised to the Hawking temperature. Reservations have been expressed concerning the self-consistency of this model. For example, it predicts large thermal energy densities near the wall, producing a substantial mass-correction and, presumably , a large gravi...

accumulation of unmanaged industrial solid waste, especially in developing countries has resulted in an increased environmental concern. in view of utilization of industrial solid waste the recycled paper mill waste (rpmw) – cement composite bricks were designed and developed. in order to investigate the environmental performance of sustainable construction materials two small scale model house...
