The conferences on ‘Applications for Computers and Operations Research in the Minerals Industry’ (APCOM) initially focused on the optimization of geostatistics and resource estimation. Several standard methods used in these fields were presented in the early days of APCOM.While geostatistics remains an important part, information technology has emerged, and nowadays APCOM not only focuses on geostatistics and resource estimation, but has broadened its horizon to Information and Com...

At present, deep earth resources remain poorly understood and entirely under-utilised. There is a growing appreciation of the important role deep earth will play in future sustainability, particularly in opportunities for new and sustainable large-scale energy alternatives, and extraction of resources through mining and greenhouse mitigation. Deep Rock Mechanics: From Research to Engineering is a collection of papers on the effective development of deep earth resources, wh...

Tachyon Drive is a collection of theoretical ideas that explores the possibility of traveling at faster than light speeds (FTL). The theory extends ideas of Albert Einstein’s to include FTL travel with in special, and general relativity. By properly manipulating the fabric of spacetime, solutions are derived that show that it is possible to create tachyon particles that could theoretically exist past the speed of light. A beam of tachyon particles can propel a spacecraft to near light spee...
