we have discovered that the Lock The Gates Alliance does not have enough awareness in Queensland. We aim to portray Coal Seam Gas in a negative light‚ and through our strategies‚ tactics and goals‚ hopefully inform‚ educate and persuade our target audience to favor the opinions of the Lock The Gates Alliance. Further‚ we hope to generate awareness by advertising and promoting anti Coal Seam Gas. With a capped budget of $135‚ 000 we hope to achieve our goals.

Preparation A Case Study in the Implementation Of Novel Technology: Teetered Bed Separators What is a teetered bed separator? Most people are familiar with elutriators‚ which permit the separation of particles on the basis of particle size. This is achieved simply by subjecting a slurry of a mixture of particles to an upward current of water in a vertical column. Under these circumstances‚ particles whose settling velocity is greater than the upward current report to the underflow
