Shell crushing

Tubercles consisted of hard, hlack oxide shells overlaid with friable carbonate-containing deposits. In places, several laminate black magnetite shells existed. The outer crust could be crushed by gentle pressure with a finger. Tubercles were riddled with white crystalline fibers. Other detritus was incorporated into the tubercle core and crust. Metal loss was less than 0.030 in. (0.076 cm) below each tubercle. Wall thickness was almost 0.25 in. (0.64 cm). 

If a mine or shell is too tight for the mortar tube (assuming that it is of the correct calibre), it should on no account be hammered or crushed to... 

The manufacture of Portland concrete consists of three basic steps—crushing, burning, and finish grinding. As noted earlier, Portland cement contains about 60% lime, 25% silicates, and 5% alumina with the remainder being iron oxides and gypsum. Most cement plants are located near limestone (CaCOs) quarries since this is the major source of lime. Lime may also come from oyster shells, chalk, and a type of clay called marl. The silicates and alumina are derived from clay, silicon sand, shale, and blast-furnace slag. 

Concerta Administer orally once/day in the morning with or without food. Advise patients to swallow the capsules whole with the aid of liquids and not to chew, divide, or crush them. Doses may be increased at weekly intervals. The tablet shell, along with insoluble core components, is eliminated from the body. 

Oilseeds with hard shells must first be crushed to allow the solvent to reach the seed contents. The hard round rapeseed is easily fractured using a... 

Sand Test or Sand Crushing Test(Sandprobe, in Ger) (Essai au sable, in Fr) (Pxueba de la arena, in Span). This test, devised by w .G.Snciiing in 1910 and studied extensively by C.G.Storm w. C.Cope(Rcf 1), is considered to measure the shatteringfdisruptive) power of an expl, called brisance. This characteristic is important because it determines the effectiveness with which an expl can fragment a shell, bomb casing, grenade or warhead of a rocket... 

Liquid Samples. Liquid samples such as plasma or milk are shell-frozen in the lyophilizer flasks using a mixture of crushed dry ice and 2-propanol. They are then dehydrated in the same way as the solid samples. The resulting material, which is brittle and spongy and easily broken up, is then pressed into cans and sealed. No preservative is added to the dried materials they can be stored indefinitely at room temperature. Approximately 2 liters of fresh milk can be dried and compressed into one can. 

Paring is the surface preparation in a processing facility which may be concrete, asphalt, gravel, crushed shell, or brick. 

Sheflite. Brit WWII expl, same as US 70/30 Tridite (qv), contg 70% PA and 30% 2,6-Dinitro-phenol (DNPh). It was used to cast load AP (armor piercing) bombs and shells. Its properties were yellow cream colored solid d 1.62g/cc mp 83° ballistic strength, 91% TNT brisance, 38.5g sand crushed vs 43.0g for TNT expl temp, 300-15° impact sensitivity, PicArsn app with 2kg wt, 14" vs 14" for TNT rifle bullet impact, 0 to 20% detonations from impact of. 30 cal bullet fired froma90 distance stability, compatibility of metals, sol and toxicity, same as PA (Ref 1)... 

A notable feature of the Faroe Bank cod is their colour. Cod, like many other fish species, have the ability to change their skin colour to match that of the sea bottom (see Love, 1970, for colour pictures of cod from different grounds). They receive information about the sea bottom through their eyes - a black cod swimming in a shoal of greenish or yellowish cod is probably blind. The Faroe Bank is unusual in being composed of the crushed remains of shells, and is brilliant white in colour (Love, 1974). Fish of all species caught on the Faroe Bank appear very pale in colour as a consequence of this. 

Flume experiments on settlement of oyster veligers were conducted with GGR at 10 7 M concentrations released by peristaltic pumps into small target wells lined with crushed oyster shells.7 The crushed shells acted as a diffuser, allowing the test solution to slowly seep upward. Settlement of the oyster larvae (Crassostrea virginica) on peptide-containing wells and adjacent control wells... 

Intermittent operation. When temperature is either lower or highw than atmospheric, intermittent operation repeatedly expands and contracts the shell. This may crush the packings or damage the shell in a packed column, but is easy to accommodate for in tray columns. 

Most organisms that survive the destructive processes of death and burial to become fossils have some kind of hard parts shell, bones, seeds, or teeth. These strong materials resist decay and may not be easily crushed by covering sediment. Organisms having only soft tissue are rarely preserved as fossils. Organisms with hard parts first appeared about 600 million years ago, in the Cambrian era. 

Animals and plants that are buried quickly in soft materials that do not crush them are candidates for becoming pseudomorphs. Over time, soft tissue, bone, shell, and/or the sediment filling inside may be replaced by compounds that travel through the surrounding rock, usually dissolved in water. If this happens slowly, and without any compression or distortion of the specimen, the...
