Introduction A consolidated undrained triaxial test was carried out by 16 separate groups to give a broad appreciation of soil behaviour by plotting the resulting effective stress paths. Results To determine the value of Skempton’s B, the cell pressure was increased by 100kpa. The value of B indicates whether the sample is saturated or not;…

What are the underlying assumptions in projections versus forecasts? Are the extension of past trends into the future. They identify trend lines and simply extend them to the future regardless of constraints or changes. Forecast are the prediction of future conditions based on projection modified by expected assumptions of driving forces, constraints, and opportunities. What…

The Contact Process The contact process is the industry’s current method for producing sulfuric acid in high concentrations. For this process to be successful, the conditions of temperature, pressure, and the catalyst must be specific. The process was first developed in the mid-1800s, when British chemists needed to meet the needs of the growing industrial…

Discussion The process of consolidation is often confused with the process of compaction. Compaction increases the density of an unsaturated soil by reducing the volume of air in the voids. Meanwhile, Consolidation is a time-related process of increasing the density of saturated soil by draining some of the water out of the voids. According to…

Discussion: Acenatilide is a synthetic organic compound introduced in therapy in 1866 as a fever-reducing drug. Its effectiveness in relieving pain was discovered soon thereafter, and it was used as an alternative to aspirin. The solvent that I selected to recrystallize the crude acenatillide was water. The pure acenatilide did not dissolve in water at…

“As we shall see, it is generally believed that the phenomenon of superfluidity is directly connected with the fact that the atoms of helium-4 obey Bose statistics, and that the lambda-transition is due to the onset of the peculiar phenomenon called Bose condensation” (Leggett, 1989). This is the phenomenon wherein the bosons (a type of…

Microinstructions are consumed in smaller quantities and are present in plant tissue on the order of parts per million (pump), angina from 0. 15 to 400 pump DMS, or less than 0. 04% Only three other structural elements are required by all plants: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. These nutrients are supplied by water (through rainfall…

The concept of the food chain, a hierarchical system of predation in which each organism is eaten by a higher one, has been a foundational element in understanding ecosystems. At the pinnacle of this chain are the apex predators – organisms that have no natural predators within their environment. Within the vast theater of nature,…

Describe how the use of a tall smoke stack might improve air quality near a large industrial facility. A taller smoke stack in an industrial area would improve air quality over shorter stacks. At night, when there is a temperature inversion, pollution from shorter stacks can become trapped and cannot rise any higher than the…

The El Niño/ ENSO phenomenon refers to the abnormal warming or cooling of the waters in the Pacific Ocean. This is caused by a shift of warm waters in the Pacific from west to east, resulting in various metrological anomalies around the world. The normal system sees the east west winds depositing warm water in…
