The multiple regression analysis was performed for constructing the RSM-based burr size mathematical models. In the present investigation, the second order burr height and burr thickness mathematical models have been developed in terms of four process parameters, namely, cutting speed (v) feed rate (/), drill diameter (d) and point angle (. The nonlinear second order response surface equation is given by ...

The 45° transducer was used to inspect side drilled holes, with their centres located 40 mm below the surface. Due to the coarse material structure the echoes from the holes were totally masked by clutter. An example of an ultrasonic response signal, emanating from a hole with a diameter of 8 mm, is shown in the left part of Figure 3. Scanning the surface above the 8 mm and 10 mm holes resulted in the B-scan image shown in the upper part of Figure 4. 

When the well is circulated through the choke line, a rapid loss in hydrostatic pressure is seen when the kick fluid begins to enter the choke line. Hydrostatic pressure is lost because low density gas is displacing the drilling mud from the small volume of choke line. Small kick volumes can result in long columns of gas in the choke line. Surface choke response must be rapid enough to prevent new kick fluid from entering the well due to the reduction in bottomhole... 

For Balanus amphitrite, a waterborne settlement inducer that is more active than the surface-associated settlement factors has been extracted from seawater conditioned with adult barnacles.53 The cyprid settlement responses could be stimulated by peptides bearing C-terminal arginine or lysine residues.54 102 Interestingly, the same barnacle settlement-inducing peptides attract a variety of barnacle predators such as oyster drills.53103... 

Power production is responsible for the introduction of toxic chemicals into drinking water via several routes. These include petroleum production (drilling, pumping, transport, and refining), coal mining, petroleum combustion, and coal combustion. Nuclear reactors that produce electricity also pollute the water environment through the introduction of massive quantities of heat to surface waters. 

The second site is in Tennessee Park, a sub-alpine wetland near Leadville, Colorado. Thirteen wells were drilled here as part of a project to determine the effects of the wetland on the input from an alpine stream heavily contaminated with acid mine drainage (M). The site and the wells have been described in detail ( ). The water table is within one meter of the surface in all wells, which have screen depths less than four meters below the land surface. The composition of the well waters changes seasonally and in response to precipitation events. 

All surfaces affected by the work shall be restored to their pre-construction conditions. Performance criteria for restoration work are to be similar to these employed in traditional open excavation work Performance specifications should be developed as to hold the contractor responsible for settlement/heave damage that may occur along the drill path...
