The black shale of Chimiari region of Khyber Pakthunkhawa Pakistan is sieved for its mineral evaluation of various fractions. Disc Pulverizer made by Mine and Smelter Supply Co. Denver USA used for grinding and Tyler series for sieving to get the required range of fractions. Study showed a gradual decrease in concentration of S iO2, Al2O3, K2O, V2O5 and TiO2 from higher fraction size to lower f...

Sm-Nd studies were carried out on Last Glacial and Holocene sediments from the Labrador Sea. Three grain-size fractions were analyzed for each sediment: the clay-size fraction (<2 μm), the fine cohesive silts (2-10 μm) and the coarse silts (10-63 μm). In most cases, Sm-Nd signatures are different from one grain-size to another. In addition, different Sm-Nd signatures are derived from the clay-s...

Chemical-mechanical separation of pig slurry into a solid fraction rich in dry matter, P, Cu and Zn and a liquid fraction rich in inorganic N but poor in dry matter may allow farmers to manage surplus slurry by exporting the solid fraction to regions with no nutrient surplus. Pig slurry can be applied to arable land only in certain periods during the year, so it is commonly stored prior to fiel...

The influences of protein concentration (0.2, 1, 2wt%) and oil-phase volume fraction (5%, 20%, 40% v/v) on emulsion stability and rheological properties were investigated in whey protein isolate (WPI)-stabilized oil-in-water emulsions containing 0.2wt% xanthan gum (XG). The data of droplet size, surface charge, creaming index, oxidative stability, and emulsion rheology were obtained. The result...

Characterization of reptilian genomes is essential for understanding the overall diversity and evolution of amniote genomes, because reptiles, which include birds, constitute a major fraction of the amniote evolutionary tree. To better understand the evolution and diversity of genomic characteristics in Reptilia, we conducted comparative analyses of online sequence data from Alligator mississip...

Grain size is an important parameter controlling the mechanical behavior and useful life of turbine disks. During heat treatment above the gamma prime (γ′) solvus the grain size increases dramatically as the γ′ particles dissolve. The grain size then stagnates as the volume fraction of the γ′ phase approaches zero. In general, the grain size at stagnation cannot be described by classic Zener pi...

in this paper, convection heat transfer of al2o3-water nanofluid turbulent flow through internally ribbed tubes with different rib shapes (rectangular, trapezoidal and semi-circular) is numerically investigated. for each rib shape, the optimum geometric ratio and volume fraction were calculated using entropy generation minimization technique. the governing equations in steady state and axisymme...

the aim of this study was to assess the conversion of forest to vineyard on different physical pools of organic matter in zrebar lake watershed. soil samples were collected from the two major land use types including forest and vineyard land at 0-30; 30-60, and 60-90-cm depths. in each land use, different soc fractions were measured. according to the results of size fractionation of organic car...

distribution of magnetic fields in the quiet-sun internetwork areas has been affected by weak polarization (in particular stokes q and u) signals. to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (snr) of the weak polarization signals, several approaches, including temporal integrations, have been proposed in the literature. in this study, we aim to investigate a proper temporal-integration time with which...
