SLIP-OUT EFFECTS OF CLAY FROM MIXED SOIL UNDER WAVES

Effect of Geogrid Aperture Size and Soil Particle Size on Geogrid-Soil Interaction under Pull-Out Loading

Kinetics of Mixed Ni-Al Precipitate Formation on a Soil Clay Fraction

The kinetics of mixed Ni-Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) precipitate formation on a soil clay fraction was monitored using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. The kinetic behavior was monitored at pH 6.0, 6.8, and 7.5 in order to determine the effect of reaction pH on precipitate formation. XAFS analyses were performed on a Ni-reacted whole soil at pH 7.5 to determine the eff...

Out From Under the Trees

This work is motivated by the observation that hard disk seek capability per byte of storage has declined exponentially for decades, and yet most popular access structures are still based on basic ideas proposed 30 years ago. These access structures are typically seek-intensive. In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for data access and organization called the linear file, which aims to drast...

Quality evaluation of processed clay soil samples

INTRODUCTION This study assessed the microbial quality of clay samples sold on two of the major Ghanaian markets. METHODS The study was a cross-sectional assessing the evaluation of processed clay and effects it has on the nutrition of the consumers in the political capital town of Ghana. The items for the examination was processed clay soil samples. RESULTS Staphylococcus spp and fecal col...

Evaluation of leaching potential of oxyfluorfen in clay soil under field conditions

Oxyfluorfen is a selective pre and post emergent herbicide used to control certain annual broadleaf and grassy weeds in vegetables, fruits, cotton, ornamentals and on non-crop areas. It is a contact herbicide and light is required for it to affect target plants (USDA 1990). Oxyfluorfen has a strong tendency to adsorb to soil particles. It is therefore, unlikely to leach downward or to, contamin...
