Underground

The summary is: Underground tunnels were under siege and The Attic agency was tasked with rescuing those trapped. Agency leader Annie Hox devised a plan to send teams into the tunnels despite no longer doing field work. Annie led her team underground but they encountered enemies who had taken down another team. Annie decided to stray from the plan and set off traps in the tunnels, admitting she had never done so before, plunging everything into darkness.

One key to successfully progress a drug discovery project is to make first-rate decisions (hopefully) based on unambiguous data. This is not trivial since our scientific problems are often very complex and data can be fuzzy. In drug design we try to approach this uncertainty by being rational. It is however sometimes forgotten that our rational approaches may not be that rational after all decisions may well be based on personal preferences and intuitive biases.... perhaps unconsciously made on biased dataA world without (new) drugs play it before you live it

Gamification has proven successful in motivating behavior change. Examples like Nike+ have engaged millions to improve fitness. Games like "Zombies, Run!" use audio narratives and mission-based gameplay to motivate running. Crowdsourcing projects have harnessed gamers' collaborative skills, as seen when over 20,000 British citizens investigated MPs' expenses claims through an online game. Some examples apply gamification in medicine for patient adherence or cognitive training. Computational protein folding games like Foldit engage players in scientific problem-solving. However, drug discovery could better leverage gamification through more collaborative and intuitive software that captures elements of serious gaming.Inanimate Alice

A 19-year-old girl named Alice lives in Phuket, Thailand with her family after inheriting her great uncle's mansion and fortune. She finds the mansion's butler creepy. One day, the butler arranges for Alice to be kidnapped. She is taken to a shack where the butler is revealed to be behind the kidnapping. Alice's guard dogs arrive and attack the kidnappers, allowing her father to rescue her. The butler and one kidnapper are killed by the dogs.Irregular and regular verbs

Irregular verbs do not follow the simple system of adding "d" or "ed" to form the past tense and instead have unpredictable spelling changes, while regular verbs change very little by simply adding "ed" to form the past tense and past participle.

The document discusses lessons that companies can learn from the successful rescue of 33 Chilean miners trapped underground for over two months in 2010. In 3 sentences:
The document outlines several organizational strategies that contributed to the successful rescue, including assigning clear individual tasks and goals, maintaining discipline, celebrating milestones, managing expectations, encouraging initiative, thorough preparation and rehearsal, and providing a communal space for families. It emphasizes the importance of protocols, checklists, and sticking to plans while also allowing individuals to shine.Case Study_Sago Mine Tragedy

The Sago Mine tragedy in 2006 grabbed public attention due to miscommunication between rescue teams and the command center that led families and the media to believe for hours that 12 miners were alive when they had actually already died from an explosion. This breakdown in crisis communication highlighted issues with the mine operator's crisis management and prompted increased government regulation and public awareness around coal mine safety.Parisas Lightning Powerpoint

Lightning is a discharge of atmospheric electricity triggered by differing charges within a cloud. It is dangerous because it can start forest fires and kills over 200 people in the US each year. Facts about lightning include that each second there are 50-100 strikes worldwide and most strikes are 2-3 miles long carrying 100 million volts.
In January 2006, lightning struck the Sago Coal Mine in West Virginia, igniting an explosion that trapped 13 miners underground for over 36 hours. Only one miner survived due to a lack of oxygen and delays in the rescue efforts. The disaster could have been prevented if safety standards in the mine had been improved.

Selected project impacts from over a decade of using insights from computational chemistry Focus on heterocyclic rings in candidate drugs discovered at AstraZeneca/CVMD and the strategies used in their design. The case stories will include a wide variety of examples, such as (i) replacing unwanted functional groups like acids and esters with heterocyclic rings, (ii) using rings for geometrical reasons and (iii) using heterocyclic rings to fine-tune electrostatics to obtain improved properties. In most cases the key computational approach for designing candidate drugs has been the use of shape and electrostatic comparisons between molecules. The role of luck is also discussed.Design of openings

The document discusses the New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM) for excavating tunnels in weak rock. Some key points of the NATM include: (1) controlling ground deformations by applying early temporary support like rock bolts and shotcrete, (2) using flexible support that deforms with the ground, and (3) closing the tunnel invert quickly to form a load-bearing ring. The NATM also emphasizes monitoring ground movements and revising support as needed to maintain stability. While economical by matching support to conditions, the NATM requires cooperation between engineers to determine daily support requirements.Ground control in undergound mines
Ground control in undergound minesUlimella Siva Sankar

1) Ground control involves techniques to regulate and prevent collapse of mine openings by studying rock behavior under changing stress conditions and providing support systems.
2) Insitu stresses exist naturally in rock and are influenced by gravity, tectonics, and geology, while excavation induces additional stresses; both must be considered for stable mine design and support.
3) Proper planning through factors like layout, geometry, reinforcement, and sequencing can manage stresses to prevent rock failure, while support installation can further control fractured or blocky ground conditions.Mine dewatering techniques

This document discusses mine dewatering and groundwater control. It describes various approaches to dewatering such as exclusion methods using cut-off walls or grouting, and pumping methods using wells, drains or sumps. Both open pit and underground mines are addressed. The key aspects of successful mine dewatering projects are explained as understanding the hydrogeology, appropriate dewatering technology, and environmental considerations.Great rescue-plan

The document summarizes the 2010 rescue of 33 miners trapped underground in a collapsed copper and gold mine in Chile for 69 days. It describes how the miners survived under extremely difficult conditions with little food, water, light or air as rescuers worked tirelessly above ground to locate them. It details the three-pronged rescue strategy and the eventual successful rescue of all 33 miners using a custom-built capsule. The document highlights the role of faith and prayer in sustaining the miners during their ordeal and the worldwide celebration of their rescue.More Related Content
