for the cavity, and upper and lower rods to give the upper and lower surfaces for the cavity. Concretely, a powder of Mo or the like is filled into the cavity to be formed by the mortar and the rods, sealed with the upper rod, and then compressed by the upper and lower rods into a green compact.
Using conventional Cuxe2x80x94Mo composites for producing heat-radiating substrates for semiconductor packages for microwaves is problematic in various aspects of, for example, the characteristics of the composites, the workability thereof, and even the thickness of the products to be produced from them.
For producing heat-radiating substrates such as those noted above, intermediate products of green compacts for them are prepared. In conventional isostatic molding methods, green compacts having been pressed with a uniformon their own two feet after "a lot of blood, plenty of tears and exceptional work".

Defence says there are no plans to hand over weapons, ammunition or body armour to the Afghan security forces. These will either be destroyed or returned to Australia.

Most of the equipment will be returned by air from Afghanistan to the United Arab Emirates and then by sea from the port of Jebel Ali.

Some containers will be sent by road through Pakistan and then by sea from Karachi. But there's a catch with road transport.

The Afghan government is reneging on a deal not to tax truck contractors and plans to charge an "export fee".

Senior Defence sources say the tax grab is "not considered a significant issue".

But a US audit in May found contractors supporting
