The paper is concerned with the hydrogeological appraisal of the proposed mining operations in theThar lignite field in Sindh, Pakistan. The Thar coalfield covers an area of approximately 9000km2 andcontains three lignite seams lying at depth of 130m to 250 m. In the Thar lignite field, the presence ofthree main aquifers induces pore pressure in the rock mass surrounding the lignite seams and m...

This note presents explicitly a strong connection between the Tsallis thermodynamics and the so-called prospect theory introduced to take into account agent’s decisions under risk. Moreover, using the cumulative prospect theory adapted here for a continuous framework, we show that if the Tsallis parameter q belongs to the interval [0,1], then the prospect theory requirement that extreme events ...

Textbooks play a crucial role in English language teaching and learning. One of the methods for selecting the most appropriate textbook for a particular educational purpose is comparing two or several similar textbooks with each other. Textbook evaluation can provide useful information about the strengths and weaknesses of textbooks and can lead to the selection of the most suitable materials f...

In the process of moving target detection, moving objects and their shadows are often extracted both. It leads to the failure of moving target positioning, segmentation, tracking and classification in the moving-object detection. Thus the shadow removal is an important task in the intelligent monitoring system. In the process of shadow removal, using color features to detect shadow is easy to c...
