Termite mound lungs driven by solar power
At first glance, a towering termite mound might look like a bustling insect skyscraper, but the insect megalopolis that is home to hundreds of thousands of termites is buried in the ground beneath. For decades, termite mounds had been thought to regulate the climate of their colony; however, Scott Turner, from the State University of New York (SUNY), Syracuse, USA, had suggested that they worke...
متن کاملEffect of Stone Dust On Some Geotechnical properties Of Soil
Stone dust is a kind of solid waste material that is generated from stone crushing industry which is abundantly available. It is estimated that each crusher unit produce 15%-20% stone dust. Disposal of such wastes poses lots of geoenvironmental problems such as landfill disposal problems, health and environmental hazards. The best way to eliminate these problems is to make use such waste. Keepi...
متن کاملASCE Geotechnical and Construction
The Jackson Lake Dam was constructed in 1917 in the Grand Teton National Park near Jackson, Wyoming. The dam was a hydraulic fill placed on a natural alluvium and outwash foundation. The Bureau of Reclamation (Burec) determined that the dam and its foundation would be susceptible to liquefaction and failure during a potential earthquake; a series of contracts was let to remove and replace the d...
متن کاملInfluence of Soil Properties on Soldierless Termite Distribution
In tropical rainforests, termites constitute an important part of the soil fauna biomass, and as for other soil arthropods, variations in soil composition create opportunities for niche partitioning. The aim of this study was twofold: first, we tested whether soil-feeding termite species differ in the foraging substrate; second, we investigated whether soil-feeding termites select their foragin...
