DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Constitution of India is the supreme law of land. The document lays down extensively the framework demarcating fundamental political code, structure, procedures, powers, and duties of government institutions and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles, and the duties of citizens. It is the longest written constitution of any country on earth. B. R. Ambedkar, chairman of the drafting committee, is widely considered to be its chief architect.Constitution is a living document, an instrument which makes the government system work. Its flexibility lies in its amendments. In this edition,the text of the Constitution of India has been brought up-to-date by incorporating therein all amendments made by Parliament up to and including the Constitution (One Hundredth Amendment) Act, 2015 which contains details of acquired and transferred territories between the Governments of India and Bangladesh and the same has been included in Annexure.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDynamic tests were performed to determine the Young's modulus of sea ice, derived from longitudinal wave velocities measured with a soniscope. Static tests consisted of standard ring tensile strength and simple beam or flexural strength tests. The strength data were plotted on a base of the brine volume for each test. The test results indicate that the annual sea ice at McMurdo Sound is capable of supporting cargo type aircraft. Snow runways capable of supporting a C-130 aircraft on wheels and providing marginal support to a C-121 can be constructed either with the Peter plow or with the pulvimixer. However, the runway would be reliable only during comparatively low temperatures (
Construction, Maintenance, and Operation of a Glacial Runway, McMurdo Station, Antarctica

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn 7 February 1994, a C-141 departed Christchurch, New Zealand, and landed on the 3050 m (10,000-ft) Pegasus glacial ice runway, located on the Ross Ice Shelf 13 km (8 miles) south of McMurdo, Antarctica. This event marked the final test for a five-year development program to demonstrate the feasibility of a semipermanent glacial ice runway capable of supporting heavy wheeled aircraft at a site easily accessible to McMurdo. In the later phases of developing the glacial ice runway, numerous working flights of LC-130s operating on wheels (rather than skis) moved cargo more efficiently to the South Pole, and the LC-130 and a C-130 carried larger passenger loads to Christchurch. The primary benefit of the Pegasus runway to the U.S. Antarctic Program is its ability to support heavy wheeled aircraft for most of the period of mid-January through November. In the past, only ski-equipped aircraft could land in the McMurdo area during this time period. The Pegasus runway allows increased payloads for the LC-130 (an additional 3600-kg or 8000-lb takeoff weight when using wheels) and provides access for virtually any conventional aircraft. The technology for siting, constructing, maintaining, and operating such a runway is now well understood and is described in detail in this comprehensive report.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTechniques and equipment have been developed to utilize clean, undisturbed snow as a building material for emergency and temporary roads, runways, and skiways in polar regions. However, these routes are often needed in areas where the snow is contaminated. During Deep Freeze 65, a compacted-snow runway was constructed in an area of contaminated snow near McMurdo, Antarctica. The area had been contaminated by oil spillage, soot, and debris from previous operations. Physical property tests were conducted on the compacted snow near the end of Deep Freeze 65 and during Deep Freeze 66. It was concluded that contaminated snow can be processed to produce load-carrying material capable of supporting C-130 aircraft and other heavy loads at temperatures below 20F; however, because of the extra work involved to clear and process such snow, its marginal load-carrying capabilities at temperatures above 20F, and the possibility of low-strength areas, its use is not recommended where clean snow is available. New processing techniques resulted in improved quality control of compacted snow, and it was recommended that effort be continued to improve processing techniques. (Author).
