Colonial and Postcolonial Logistics by Giulia Scotto

“…In particular, it focuses on Zambia (Northern Rhodesia at time of British domination), a landlocked country located in the centre of Southern Africa, whose historical evolution, since it was conquered at the beginning of the twentieth century, is deeply intertwined with the discovery, extraction and export of copper and with the import of fossil fuel. In the first part, I introduce the concept of ‘colonial logistics’ intended as the modification and rationalisation of territories for military and political domination, and extraction and export of resources. …”

Design and Construction of a Free Energy Generator. by Tumwebaze, Edwine

“…The main tittle of this project is design and construction a free energy generator where the main objective is to determine whether the concept of a free energy generator can be used to generate electricity without using other sources of energy like hydroelectric power, fossil fuel among others but using the natural properties of magnets (attraction and repulsion of the magnetic poles) to create a perpetual motion which can be used to perform a useful function. …”

Thermal upgrading of manganese ores prior to smelting by Eray S.

“…The results showed that a significant part of the endothermic reactions during the solid-state treatment of the ore can be carried out with low-cost fossil fuels. This leads to enrichment of the electric arc furnace charge, lower electricity consumption in the furnace, lower overall processing costs and a more efficient smelting process.…”

N.R. Ayupova by N.R. Ayupova

“…Authigenic apatite, Mn-calcite, Ti oxides, illite and rare earth minerals (phosphates and carbonates) are constantly associated with bacteriomorphic structures. The structures of fossil bacteria based on their size, shape, cell division, distribution in colonies and comparison with ferruginous sediments of modern hydrothermal systems and massive sulfide deposits worldwide indicate that they correspond to mineralized stalks of iron bacteria Leptothrix ochracea and Gallionella ferruginea, coccoidal forms and sulfur-oxidizing Thiobacillus Ferrooxidans and giant Beggiatoa-like organisms. …”
