A study was made on samples from one core collected immediately after the December 2004 Asian tsunami to know the geochemical nature of the offshore tsunami sediments. The core sample was analyzed for sediment grain size, CaCO<Subscript>3</Subscript>, organic carbon (OC) and major elements (SiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>, TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript>, Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>, Fe<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript>,...</subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript>

A study on the possible inundation limit in SE coast of India was carried out using various physical, geological and satellite imageries. The coastal inundation hazard map was prepared for this particular region as it was affected by many cyclones, flooding, storm surge and tsunami waves during...

Offshore sediment characteristics of the 2004 tsunami were identified from a shallow core collected from the Chennai Coast, India. The depositional sequence clearly distinguishes four different processes: mixed facies (post-tsunami): 0–8 cm; tsunami return flow facies (TRFF): 8–20 cm;...

Winters are a difficult period for the National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom (UK), due to the combination of cold weather and the increased likelihood of respiratory infections, especially influenza. In this article we present a proper statistical time series approach for modelling...

The presence and behavior of private labels add a significant dimension to price competition among the food system's subsectors. Recent surveys in two college towns in Texas show a larger price difference between national brands and private labels than previous studies. The increase in price...

This paper focuses on the operational planning issues in a non-profit supply chain that distributes food for the “food insecure”. The study details how by partnering with a local University the organization was able to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations that resulted...

The quantity of water available for irrigation is getting scarce in many countries and it assumes great importance for assured crop production, especially in view of the erratic behavior of the monsoon. Thus, there is a pressing need to improve the water efficiency of irrigation systems. One-way...
