The Development of Mound Growths. The mound carbon encapsulates the metal and prevents it from taking part in the reaction until particulate growth has caused substantial break-up of the bulk metal. Similar types of deposit have been reported in the Ni/C2H2 reaction at 990°C and Fe/CIfy system at 1100°C(19). A reduction in reactivity caused by encapsulation was reported for the Fe/CjHg deposition reaction(20)... 

Particulate and Filamentary Growth. It is implicit in the mechanism proposed above for carbon mound growth, that the crystalline particulates are nucleated at active sites within the metal. The evidence that further growth causes the particles to be ejected through laminar carbon overlayer is given in Figure 13c. 

The results of this in-situ SEM work suggest that solution-precipitation processes have some part in the development of four of the morphological types discussed, i.e. continuous laminar carbon films, mound growths, and two types of particulate material Although a small amount of filamentary carbon was observed, it does not appear to be a major characteristic of the Fe-CH4 reaction. 

Tuberculation occurs in aqueous solutions. Mounds form over metal surfaces providing for concentration differences, favorable environments for biological growth, and an increase in acidity leading to hydrogen formation. 

A third phase is sometimes identified in pitting corrosion, i.e. termination. Pits can become stifled by the build-up of insoluble corrosion products at their mouths. Removal of these mounds of corrosion products, either mechanically or through some change in the environmental chemistry, can allow the pits to restart growth.

Adult moles are about 6 in (15 cm) long, with dense, dark brown fur. Females raise a litter of four or so per year. They do not eat plants, but can undermine them, disrupting growth, and their mounds make lawn-mowing difficult. 

By integrating Equations (3) and (4), neglecting the A term, with random initial conditions, mounds similar to those of the simulation can be obtained (Fig. 3). These mounds also coarsen in time. However, there has not been direct test of this equation as a description of multilayer growth. In particular, Eq. (4) was derived by fitting to Monte-Carlo data in the submonolayer regime. In this paper we show that certain aspects of multilayer growth by the Monte-Carlo model are well represented by Eq. (3) and (4). 

In order to ensure that the visual assessment captures all irritant responses, it may be necessary to record more than one assessment for any given skin site. This is particularly true for use tests, where topical application is likely to cover a large area of skin. The area of application may need to be divided into several discrete sites, which are assessed separately. For example, the axilla may be split into three sites the peak (generally identified as the mounded area in the centre of the axilla, where the majority of hair growth occurs), the around (skin around the peak which usually receives some treatment) and the creases (creases that are found crossing through the axilla). Treatment may be discontinued due to a reaction (e.g. well-developed erythema) in any of the three sites. 

Tree declines stunted pale leaves no new growth. Cause Root rot. Root rot can be caused by overwatering or by poorly drained soil, but the disease may take years to develop. There is no cure. Replant in well-drained soil or on a raised mound of soil. Grande and Martin are rootstocks resistant to this problem.
