In 2016, University of Glasgow scientists traveled to Antarctica to test their autonomous ultrasonic percussive drill (shown here), designed to work in the low-gravity environment of Mars. This year, the team is testing a modified version of the drill, which it hopes will be able to retrieve samples of bedrock at the bottom of a deep ice borehole in the southernmost continent on Earth.
She has two brothers, and in addition to her late father’s ties to the drilling industry, Vanessa has an aunt who owned and operated a blasting company.
As you’d expect for the latest TV, the ZT60 supports all of the features announced for the Panasonic Smart Viera 2013 smart TV platform, including dual tuners.
- Operational Excellence – reinforced track record as Group Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate ("LTIFR") decreased from 0.29 to 0.16 year on year, remaining below industry benchmarks. Production and AISC guidance was met or beaten for the 6th consecutive year.
The future of carbon mitigation, however, is on a countdown timer, as atmospheric CO₂ concentrations have continued to rise. If the nations of the world were to continue on the current track, it would be impossible to meet the objectives of the 2016 Paris Agreement, which set a goal limiting warming to 2 degrees Celsius or, ideally, 1.5 degrees. And it would usher in a world of misery and economic hardship. Already, temperatures in some regions have climbed more than 1 degree Celsius, as a report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change noted last October. These temperature increases have led to an increase in droughts, heat waves, floods and biodiversity losses and make the chaos of 2 or 3 degrees’ additional warming seem inconceivable. A further problem is that maintaining today’s emissions path for too long runs the risk of doing irreparable damage to the earth’s ecosystems — causing harm that no amount of technological innovation can make right. “There is no reverse gear for natural systems,” Harvey says. “If they go, they go. If we defrost the tundra, it’s game over.” The same might be said for the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, or our coral reefs. Such resources have an asymmetry in their natural architectures: They can take thousands or millions of years to form, but could reach conditions of catastrophic decline in just a few decades.

Where required, a well screen and casing will be installed and the annular space between the borehole wall filled with a sand or gravel pack. Specialist, artificial or engineered media are also available for use. The gravel pack is commonly referred to as a ‘formation stabiliser’ when the primary purpose is to provide stability when the target formation is unstable. If the primary purpose is to prevent sand and other fine material entering the borehole and damaging the pump, it is referred to as a ‘filter pack’.
Triluminos is essentially a new backlighting system built using Quantum Dots, which shine blue LED light through green and red optical elements to produce a theoretically wider colour gamut than a traditional LCD backlight. Many modern TVs are now capable of producing the entire colour gamut of a Blu-ray disc, so the W9 isn’t unique in this respect.
- The changes in long-term inventories is a new policy adopted by the group whereby stockpiled material that will not be processed within 12 months is treated as a non-current asset. The outflow in the year represents the build-up of this newly classified item.
Spanish mine-rescue experts were lowered down the shaft, from where they hope to dig a tunnel to reach Julen Rosello, who has been trapped underground for 11 days.
