There were still only four boatmen there and I recognized all of them as Michiel employees. A quick peek out between the pillars confirmed that Mm/er Grande s boat was still tied up outside Ca Barbolano. 

Three of the four vertebrate fossil localities ca. 1.5 km south of the village of Csarnota are undoubtedly of the Csarnota layer. This locality lies in the westernmost part of the Villany mountains in southern Hungary (Fig. 5), on the flat ridge of Cserhegy, and comprises pillars of red clay formed in limestone of the Middle Triassic (Anisian) which had been left by quarrymen as dead rock in small dispersed quarries. 

Open-pit zinc mining is not common, since most mines are below the surface. The Kidd Creek Mine in Ontario, Canada, is a combination open-pit—undeiground mine. It is one of the richest deposits in the world with an estimated 62.5 x 10 t grading 7.08% zinc, 1.33% copper, and 151 g silver (14). Undeiground mining methods include room-and-pillar, shrinkage, cut-and-fiU, and square set. In the United States, ca 20 mines account for more than 98% of zinc production.

In front of the pillars there is a pool, and in it several large earthen jars. This represents the hydrotherapy used by the ancients, especially the Tiahuanaco, Chan ca, Chimu, and Inca cultures. When one knows how to use it, water may be very beneficial, and with it one is able to cure many illnesses. It is very beneficial to drink water out of ceramic jars, because the jars absorb the sun rays, and in them water is purified. These jars are also symbolic, because they represent flying objects used by spiritual beings to transport themselves from one place to another. 

Triphasic systems involving clays pillared with surfactants as catalysts offer versatile routes to a range of useful benzylic compounds.40 By using the organo-clay assemblies with sodium cyanide, thiocyanate and hydroxide, it is possible to prepare benzonitriles, benzyl thiocyanates and benzyl alcohols from the corresponding benzyl chlorides. Most of these reactions occur in yields of ca. 80%. 

PILC are prepared by controlled hydrolysis reactions which can be carried out in solution or in the interlamellar space of the clay (the former allows better control of the nature of the polyoxocations). In addition to the different parameters already mentioned, the calcination process also plays a key role. Three general cases may occur (i) the polyoxocations exit from the clay (no pillaring), (ii) they degrade in situ giving rise to layers of aluminum hydroxide (thick ca. 

From the viewpoint of making catalysts at a competitive price, three important criteria need to be met (i) use the whole clay material, after minimal refining (i. e., low cost), (ii) pillar the Ca or (Ca, Na) forms, not only the Na forms (i. e., no preexchange), and (iii) be able to use clay-polyoxocation concentrations (> 15 % wtw solids) that can be economically and effectively spray-dried to give a usable particle size distribution (40-200 pm) [8]. Non-purified clays as starting materials... 

Because acidified titanium oxide is the catalyst usually employed commercially for the transformation of 1 into 2 [8] there has been much investigation of this catalytic system [9]. A 1995 paper by Stefanis et al. [10] reported an investigation of the reaction of 1 in several alumina-pillared clays (PILCs montmorillonite- and beidellite-based, and their and Ca" -exchanged congeners) under Lewis acid conditions (solid is activated by heat to remove all water). The results were compared with those obtained by use of medium-pore zeolites USY, NH4+-ZSM-5, and H-mordenite. Conversion to 2 > 50% was always observed. The aim of the work was to clarify differences between site availability and acidity for the two types of solid.
