Volatilization of ammonia (NH3) from animal manure is a major pathway for nitrogen (N) losses that cause eutrophication, acidification, and other environmental hazards. In this study, the effect of alternative techniques of manure treatment (aeration, separation, addition of peat) and application (broadcast spreading, band spreading, injection, incorporation by harrowing) on NH3 emissions in th...

In this paper, synthesis of geopolymer from fly ash with sodium hydroxide as activator was studied. Fly ash was replaced by Lime stone dust in various proportions (10% and 15%) where Fly ash was used as source material for synthesis of geopolymer. Sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions were mixed maintaining a silicate modulus (Na2O / SiO2) at 1. Scanning electron micro...

The European Lime Association (EuLA) have instigated a project to identify and quantify the benefits associated with the addition of hydrated lime to cement based mortars, and more importantly, filling the gaps that exist in the evidence in respect of the benefits of hydrated lime additions to workability, bond strength development, durability and in addition the modes of failure of mortars whn...

The “less is more effect” (LIME) occurs when a recognition-dependent agent has a greater probability of choosing the better item than a more knowledgeable agent who recognizes more items. Goldstein and Gigerenzer (2002) define α as the probability that a correct choice is made on the basis of recognition alone and β the probability that a correct choice is made when both items are recognized (v...

The role of lime in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), i.e., O2-., H2O2, and OH., from betel-quid components (extracts of areca nut and catechu) was investigated in vitro using a chemiluminescence technique and an assay for oxidative DNA damage involving analysis of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine. Of the various areca-nut extracts, the catechin fraction, at alkaline pH, was shown to b...

Three different commercially available molasses-based supplements were evaluated for their effects on the performance of preconditioning calves during the fall of 2002. One hundred and forty calves (mean body weight, 465 lb) were randomly allotted to one of four treatments. Treatments offered were: 1) 16% crude protein fortified molasses slurry, 2) 16% crude protein fortified molasses slurry pl...

A research worker in soil chemistry accustomed to cbfidk$ions in England is soon conscious in New Zealand of many anomalies in the position that liming occupies in local farming practice. In the major%y of districts in Great Britain the periodical application of lime is an establish& practice, and when this practice is neglected the failure of crops or of pasture is quickly notciceable. Moreove...

–A detailed investigation has done Redmud an Alluminium industrial waste product has done to study its feasibility for use in road constructions. In this study Redmud was stabilized with 2, 4, 6, 8,10and 12 percentages of lime and unconfined compressive strength, Split tensile strength and California bearing ratio tests were conducted at 1, 3, 7 and 28 days curing periods respectively. From the...

LIME (Linda in a Mobile Environment) is a middleware supporting the development of applications that exhibit physical mobility of hosts, logical mobility of agents, or both. LIME adopts a coordination perspective inspired by work on the Linda model. The context for computation, represented in Linda by a globally accessible, persistent tuple space, is refined in LIME to transient sharing of iden...
