LIME 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 represented in LIME by transient sharing of the tuple spaces carried by each...

A method for the direct assessment of the dissolved CO2 concentration in supersaturated water is presented that is based on changes to the physical chemistry of soda lime due to uptake of CO2. The approach is an adaptation of a standard method used for the quantifi cation of soil respiration, and was found to agree with pCO2 measurements made using infrared gas analysis. In this method, the sod...

1. introduction adding lime to increase the geotechnical characteristics of fine-grained soils, to achieve different goals always been done from ancient time. there are many techniques for stabilizing unstable slopes, among them lime treatment is a quick, simple and cost-effective operation that can be incorporated into any unstable slopes. some scientific techniques of soil treatment have been...

Materials and Methods PG, obtained from TÜGSA^ Fertilizer Plant in Samsun, Turkey, was sieved (particle size, 65 mesh) and then preconditioned with lime milk. Physical and chemical characteristics of raw and lime-preconditioned PG have been published. Aqueous solutions (100 ml) containing Zn ions (50 mg/l) were taken in Erlenmeyer flasks (250 ml) containing lime-preconditioned PG (1 g). These f...

A study was conducted to evaluate the leaching potential of unpaved road materials (URM) mixed with lime activated high carbon fly ashes and to evaluate groundwater impacts of barium, boron, copper, and zinc leaching. This objective was met by a combination of batch water leach tests, column leach tests, and computer modeling. The laboratory tests were conducted on soil alone, fly ash alone, an...

Hydrate plugging is the major challenge in the flow assurance of deep-sea pipelines. For water-in-oil emulsions, this risk could be significantly reduced with the addition of anti-agglomerants (AAs). Hydrates often form from water-in-oil emulsions and the measurement of emulsion and slurry viscosity constitutes the basis for the application of hydrate slurry flow technology. In this work, using...

Co-digestion of cattle slurry and maize has been shown to have benefits for both, improving the biogas yield of the slurry and stability of digestion of the maize. The effect of increasing the total loading rate from 3 to 6 g VS l(-1) day(-1) on the co-digestion of cattle slurry and maize, mixed at equal volatile solids volumes, was investigated in laboratory-scale continuously stirred digester...

nt matter & 2007 IAgrE. emseng.2007.03.037 hor. : [email protected] Research on the incidence and effectiveness of natural crusting on slurry storage as a means of ammonia emission abatement was undertaken in studies at farm-scale, pilotscale and on a small-scale. At the farm-scale, slurry crusting was found to be commonplace across a large proportion (ca 80%) of slurry storage facilities, d...

This study investigated the effectiveness of vegetated buffer strips for removing contaminants in runoff from grassed plots (slope 15%) after application of cattle slurry. Plots (8 x 8 m2 or 8 x 3 m2) received slurry or inorganic fertilizer, and then simulated rainfall (1, 7 and 21 days after slurry/fertilizer application); after each event, runoff and percolates were sampled at various distanc...

Animal manure is an important source of N for crop production. Part of the manure N is bound in organic compounds and must be mineralised in the soil before it can be utilised by plants. The composition of animal manure is influenced by the diet fed to the animal. We have studied the effects of pig and dairy cattle feed composition on the turnover and potential utilisation of manure N. Dairy co...
