Coarse texture

Whole wheat flour, according to FDA specifications, is a coarse-textured flour ground from the entire wheat kernel. It contains the bran, germ, and... 

The Naff-Larkin-Freeman association contains fine- to medium-textured soils, moderately-well to well-drained. The Garrison-Marble-Springdale soils, on the other hand, are gravelly and sandy (coarse-textured) and are "somewhat-excessively" to "excessively drained (USDA, 1968). In addition to the soil textures, water permeabilities are described qualitatively for these soils, leading to the estimated range of intrinsic permeabilities shown in Table III for these two soil associations. 

In places where there are concerns about buried materials or sources of contamination, ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys may be helpful in determining the best sampling approach. GPR can also detect coarse textured subsoils and water relationships in soils having these types of horizons. However, there are some limits as to where GPR can be used and the equipment for doing a GPR survey is expensive [3],... 

Nye, 1979, Section V.B). The values of /l for the more coarse-textured soil, Iloilo, come closest to this line, but the values are progressively far from it for the more clayey soils, and they are not parallel to it in any of the soils. There are several reasons for this. In soils electrostatic and viscosity interactions between diffusing solutes and solid surfaces are important and tend to diminish /l at a... 

Some plants exert greater allelopathic effects in fine-textured than in coarse-textured soils and evidence indicates that the greater retention capacity of the fine textured soils for at least some allelochemicals may be important in the accumulation of physiologically active concentrations of these chemicals (92-9 ). 

Information on nickel exposure from hazardous waste sites is lacking. The most probable route of exposure from hazardous waste sites would be dermal contact, inhalation of dust, and ingestion of nickel-contaminated soil. Groundwater contamination may occur where the soil has a coarse texture and where acid waste, such as waste from plating industries, is discarded. People using this water may be exposed to high levels of nickel. 

The technology is best suited for coarse-textured soils that have a moderate to high hydraulic conductivity. The steam extraction system is not applicable for soil contaminated with metals or other inorganic wastes. The system is also not applicable for organics in which the mobility is not increased with elevated temperatures. 

A coarse texture may also develop as a result of heat shock, which involves alternate thawing and freezing of the water in the ice cream owing to temperature fluctuations in the hardening and storage cabinet. This results in a reduction of the textural quality of the ice cream. 

The coarse texture of the fibrous gas diffusion media can further amplify the contact stress exerted on the MEA. Figure 3 shows the relative size of a carbon fiber with respect to the typical thickness of the electrode and the electrolyte membrane. It can be seen that the diameter of the carbon fiber in the gas diffusion media is comparable to the thickness of the electrode. The rigid carbon fiber pressed onto the porous electrode layer can produce in-prints which can later become a stress-concentration and defect-initiation sites at the electrode-electrolyte interface. A microporous layer, if used, tends to smooth out the surface of the GDM and reduces fiber inprint. Thicker electrode layer also offers protection against fiber in-prints.

It is generally accepted that coarse-textured (sandy) soil with a low moisture content frequently promotes desiccation (Fiedler and Graw 2003 Mant 1950 Santarsiero et al. 2000). This phenomenon is almost certainly related to the diffusion of gases through the soil matrix (see Tibbett et al. 2004). Coarse-textured soils are associated with a high rate of gas diffusivity (Moldrup et al. 1997), which allows gases and moisture to move relatively rapidly through the soil matrix. The ability of coarse-textured soil to rapidly lose moisture will also promote desiccation because hydrolytic enzymes associated with the... 

As used today, the word linen is descriptive of a class of woven textiles used in homes. Linens were manufactured almost exclusively of fibres from the flax plant Linum usitatisimum. Today flax is a prestigious, expensive fibre and only produced in small quantities. Flax fibres can be identified by their typical nodes, which account for the flexibility and texture of the fabric. The cross-section of the fibre is made up of irregular polygonal shapes, which contribute to the coarse texture of the fabric. When adequately prepared, linen has the ability to absorb and lose water rapidly. It can gain up to 20% moisture without feeling damp. 

Tapioca starch and chemically modified tapioca starches are easily converted to instant (pregelatinized) forms (also known as cold-water-soluble starch). This physical modification is brought about by pasting of the starch and subsequent drying as described in Section 12.4. Control of particle size is critical to texture and rehydration rate when the product is redispersed in water.68 Fine particle size results in a smooth texture on redispersion, e.g. in pudding preparation.69 As a comparison, coarse texture could be more desirable in fruit- or vegetable-based foods. 

The N-serve literature points out that a nitrification inhibitor is helpful only when conditions favor high nitrogen loss from the soil. Such conditions are heavy rainfall or heavy irrigation, coarse-textured soil, and soil in the pH range where nitrification readily occurs. Nitrate thus formed will leach down into anaerobic soil layers. 

The affinity of DOM with soil was very low with an average DOM sorption percentage of about 22.4 4.8% to 31.2 +5.2% only at an initial DOC concentration of 100 mg/1 and 200 mg/1, respectively, for the live selected DOMs (Table 10.3). This result was supported by the small slope m of 0.11 to 0.24 and Kd of 0.47 to 1.23 ml/g obtained from the IM isotherms. Liang et al. (1996), who worked on a variety of soils with clay contents ranging from 3 to 54%, showed that the adsorption of the DOC by soils increased as the clay, organic matter contents, and the surface areas of the soils increased. The coarse texture of the selected calcareous soil and the characteristics of the selected DOM itself can explain the lower affinity of DOM with soil observed in the present study. In addition, the acidic soil with higher Fe-oxide and Mn-oxide content exhibited much higher DOC adsorption ability than calcareous soil rich in 2 1 minerals. 

Sensory properties are also influenced by particle size. Each crystalline material in a food has a critical threshold detection size, where above that critical size the particles are detected in the mouth and the food has a coarse texture. The critical threshold detection size depends on the properties of the crystals, namely, how rapidly they melt or dissolve in the mouth. Crystals that melt rapidly in a viscous carrier matrix, such as ice crystals in a frozen dessert, can be up to 50 im in size before sensory detection. In contrast, crystals that are hard and dissolve slowly in the mouth, like lactose crystals in sandy ice cream, can be no larger than about 15 gm before they are detected. A fine chocolate will have the majority of particles smaUa-than 20 gm to avoid sensory coarseness.
