Subsurface delineation and evaluation of Okobo-Enjema coal resources within the Upper Coal Measures of Mamu Formation at Okobo Coal Field Nigeria was undertaken in this study. Topographic data obtained with global positioning system (GPRS) and processed with Minex 6.05 software showed top soil thickness gradient dependence. Areas with steep slopes of less than 12 degrees were found to have top soil thickness of 0.5m whereas areas of 12 - 30 degrees slope had top soil thickness of 0.25m. Overburden or Waste above Coal seam has same conformity as the top soil but shows gradients that mimic past Mamu Sea and fluvial system drainage. Topography also enhanced geologic mapping as topographic gradient differentiated lithotypes which corroborated core logs. Coal spatial attributes and geometry derived from geologic mo...

Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is used to analyze those inputs which were quantifiable in terms of costs. An original computer program was devised to sum the life cycle costs and to handle the computations for sensitivity analysis. Those inputs not found to be quantifiable are discussed qualitatively, and the basis for their contribution to the final recommendation is explained. As expected, close similarity of the alternatives in most respects led to very little difference in life cycle costs, so the recommendations are heavily influenced by the qualitative considerations.

They range from automated test generation to evaluation of automatically generated test cases for their effectiveness in meeting test criteria or finding faults. Our motivation is that it would be useful to have a mechanism that is able to learn, based on past history, to predict test cases are either likely to increase desired coverage items, or which test cases are likely to yield more coverage or failures versus those that are not going to ...
