Abstract Geosynthetic clay liners are widely used as hydraulic barrier due to their low conductivity but bentonite in the loses its effectiveness significant thermal fluxes by both diurnal and seasonal heating cooling cycles. Modified sodium carboxy methyl cellulose-based (HYPER clay) has shown better performance situations. A possible reason for this improved of HYPER based geosynthetic liner ...

Residual soils result from chemical weathering, so their characteristics depend on environmental factors, in addition to origin, topography, drainage and geological age. In the unsaturated condition, behavior of is conditioned by suction, which refers state soil under reduced pressure. The aim this study compare water retention curve fitting equations tropical through filter paper technique ana...

The moisture retention and compression characteristics of municipal solid waste under self-weight are likened to those of an unsaturated soil. By assuming that the solid organic fraction in waste retains a relatively immobile micropore moisture and that deformation at low confining stress occurs at the expense of a relatively large macropore system, an insight into the variation of density and ...

Sixteen steers (650 Ib) were used to determine the effects of corn moisture, protein concentration and monensin (Rumensin) on ration digestibility and nitrogen retention. The steers were placed in metabolism stalls and fed rations of high moisture corn (HMC) or dry rolled corn at two protein levels (9.3 and 12.3 percent) with two monensin levels (0 and 30 g per ton of feed). Monensin addition d...

Abstract—The composite flour blend consisting of corn, pearl millet, black gram and wheat bran in the ratio of 80:5:10:5 was taken to prepare the extruded product and their effect on physical properties of extrudate was studied. The extrusion process was conducted in laboratory by using twin screw extruder. The physical characteristics evaluated include lateral expansion, bulk density, water ab...

We have been studying the function and structure of fatty acid-containing extracellular polysaccharides (FACEPS) produced by bacteria belonging to the genus Rhodococcus. In this study, we examined the relationships between the structure and emulsifying, thickening, moisture-absorption, and moisture-retention capabilities of rhodococcal FACEPS using S-2 EPS produced by R. rhodochrous strain S-2....
