Ground swell

In due eourse, the AP sent a letter to the Director of the Medical Laboratories, quoting my invitation, and requesting permission to visit. Unfortunately, Secretary of Defense Laird had just plaeed an embargo on all media visits to our facility. Sensing a ground swell of anti-Chemieal Corps sentiment, the Administration had invoked the elassified shibboleth, hoping to minimize publicity. [Pg.195]

Leeward of the island sea state conditions occur, which are similar to crossing sea or ground swell. [Pg.156]

Evidence of ground swell has been produced by a large number or reports from real life, and they are often the cause of ship accidents, which was pointed out by Quandt (1980) and Scharnow et al. (1990). In Fig. 7.10, these areas are shown (the position data were taken from Quandt, 1980). The arrows in Fig. 7.10 indicate the wind direction at which ground swell may occur. [Pg.157]

Sea state, whose troughs almost touch the sea floor, is called ground swell. In coastal areas with onshore winds and when shoals or sandbanks overflow, ground swells may develop due to a high sea state. S and and also small stones are whirled up on the sea floor and mix with the water column. In the area of the ground swell, individual waves may become twice as high as in deepwater. [Pg.157]

A map that includes areas exposed to ground swells in the Baltic Sea can be found in Brauner et al. (2003). Such areas are in particular the Polish coast in case of northerly winds and the coast and harbors of the Baltic states in case of south westerly to north westerly winds. [Pg.157]

There is now a ground-swell of interest which has reached the academic community. It is hoped that this review will be helpful in providing background and guide posts for future development and application of this rediscovered separation technique. [Pg.4]

In the depolymeri2ed scrap mbber (DSR) experimental process, ground scrap mbber tines produce a carbon black dispersion in ok (35). Initially, aromatic oks are blended with the tine cmmb, and the mixture is heated at 250—275°C in an autoclave for 12—24 h. The ok acts as a heat-transfer medium and swelling agent, and the heat and ok cause the mbber to depolymeri2e. As more DSR is produced and mbber is added, less aromatic ok is needed, and eventually virtually 100% of the ok is replaced by DSR. The DSR reduces thermal oxidation of polymers and increases the tack of uncured mbber (36,37). Depolymeri2ed scrap mbber has a heat value of 40 MJ/kg (17,200 Btu/lb) and is blended with No. 2 fuel ok as fuel extender (38). [Pg.15]

It has been shown that inclusion of fine mbber particles in asphalt reduces the cracking of pavement in adverse weather conditions [60,61]. There are two methods for introducing ground waste mbber into asphalt, namely, wet and dry processes. Wet process is carried out at 170°C-220°C for 45-120 min. Rubber particles absorb components with similar value of solubility parameter (5) from the asphalt, causing them to swell. The interaction between mbber and asphalt is mainly of physical nature. In the dry process, mbber is used as a replacement for part of the aggregate and is added to the mineral material before the latter is mixed with the asphalt binder. Addition of mbber greatly improves the elasticity of the binder and generally lowers its brittle point. Incorporation of GRT... [Pg.1048]

Addition of scrap rubber in the form of either ground waste vulcanizates or reclaim in rubber compounds gives economic as well as processing advantages. In addition to lowering the cost of rubber compounds, the use of cross-linked rubber particles has beneficial effects such as faster extrusion rate, reduced die swell, and better molding characteristics. [Pg.1053]

If bentonite pellets or chips are to be used instead of grout, the bentonite pellets can be placed in shallow wells (within 15.0 m of ground surface) by pouring them through the annular space from above in much the same manner as the filter pack is placed. If this installation procedure is chosen, sufficient potable water must be added in conjunction with the bentonite to hydrate the individual pieces. Hydration causes the pieces to swell and form a highly impermeable seal. [Pg.798]

Another type of reaction that responds to WD cycles is the fixation of K and NH4 ions by smectite (3-7). The fixation of K in smectite has been studied extensively by soil scientists because of its effect on the availability of plant nutrients. The reaction also decreases smectite s ability to swell, decreases its cation exchange capacity (CEC), and modifies its BrjSnsted acidity. Therefore, an understanding of this phenomenon is applicable to many fields of study that are concerned with swelling clays, fields such as soil fertility, soil mechanics, waste disposal, clay catalysis, and the geochemistry of ground and surface waters. [Pg.297]

As discussed above, we believe adsorption becomes less important and absorption (swelling) becomes more important as the size of the added alkyl group increases. Since the x parameter describes the "goodness" of the solvent-polymer solution, and has nothing to do with surface interactions, the more reliable x parameter will be obtained for the O-octylated extract-benzene system. Even so, the ground O-octylated extract possesses considerable surface area and any adsorption of benzene onto surfaces will lead to errors in x-Sorption experiments were therefore conducted on the unground extract, which possessed only 11 w /g surface area, x was determined to be 0.65, which was independent of pressure. [Pg.150]

The untreated eye bums result in a severe and high water uptake. With rinsing therapy, this does not really change to a large extent after 16 days. The lower hydration in the phosphate group is due to the calcification and loss of stromal ground substance that is able to swell. [Pg.79]

Acrylic acid can be used simultaneously as a monomer and as the solvent, the polyamide solution being frozen at dry ice temperature and ground in a vibration mill. The graft copolymer is said to be formed by mechanosynthesis and was confirmed by nitrogen analysis and solubility as well as swelling characteristics (5). [Pg.98]
