Stringer domal in form. This type of calcrete is strongly polygenetic in nature Closely related to laminar calcretes but not all forms are well laminated. These are sheets of carbonate, usually only a few centimetres thick, of subvertical to sub-horizontal form, that penetrate into carbonate-rich hosts and are related to root mats. They can occur singly or at multiple levels and varied orientations, extending for metres, and can cross-cut each other... 

Before society can make informed decisions about the technologies it will deploy to sustainably meet its needs, a more comprehensive grasp of the dynamics between primary and secondary raw material supply is required, as well as a better appreciation of the complex interrelationships between a viable energy supply mix and the production of these raw materials. Likewise, a deeper understanding is needed of the suite of engineering advancements that will depend on these raw materials. The development of enhanced, accurate insight encompassing the many variables related to supply, demand, and utilization of the world s precious resources is an issue that cross cuts all of the sectors examined in this report—and one that must be addressed so that effective policy mechanisms can be deployed that will incentivize society s transition to a sustainable future. 

When miners work underground, they lose their ordinary sense of space and time. They must understand their position in relation to the coal face and in relationship to the three-dimensional patterns of rooms, haulageways, cross-cuts, and exit ways beneath the surface of the mine. They must orient themselves inby (inside oO and outby (outside oO the coal face so that they can describe their positions to others and know the means of escape in an emergency.- ... 

This compares to the exact result of 0.0702 obtained using the actual fault tree. The cut sets are related to each other by the OR function. For Example 11-6 all the cut set probabilities were added. This is an approximate result, as shown by Equation 11-10, because the cross-product terms were neglected. For small probabilities the cross-product terms are negligible and the addition will approach the true result. 

The photograph (positive print) of the cross section of the fiber has been cut around with scissors, leaving a small amount of embedding araldite around the fiber-end stuck on a "bristol" paper The diffraction patterns were stuck close to the corresponding areas (to which they are related by arrows) and their orientations are corrected according to the image/diagram rotation introduced by the microscope.
