  • The column is typically placed in a mechanical shaker, which shakes the column, usually for a set period, to facilitate exposing all of the material to the screen openings so that particles small enough to fit through the holes can fall through to the next layer. (wikipedia.org)
  • A method of rapid estimation of the modulus of elasticity of cement stabilized materials from data that are usually available, without the need to resort to laboratory modulus determinations, is desirable especially for use in pavement analysis. (astm.org)

  • A mouse nest, or burrow, is usually a pile of material under which the mouse lives. (cdc.gov)
  • The complete procedure for this test is outlined in the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C 136 and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) T 27 A suitable sieve size for the aggregate underneath the nest of sieves to collect the aggregate that passes through the smallest. (wikipedia.org)
  • The entire nest is then agitated, and the material whose diameter is smaller than the mesh opening pass through the sieves. (wikipedia.org)
  • Visible light is necessary for museum environments but is damaging to many collection materials. (amnh.org)
  • The high energy of UV radiation is particularly damaging to collection materials. (amnh.org)
  • WHO establishes and publishes specifications2 for technical material and related formulations of public health pesticides with the objective that these specifications may be used to provide an international point of reference against which products can be judged either for regulatory purposes or in commercial dealings. (who.int)
  • WHO specifications now only apply to products for which the technical materials have been evaluated. (who.int)
  • The most commonly seen type of light damage is fading of color, both natural pigmentation and dyes, and paints applied to items of material culture. (amnh.org)
  • UV and IR do not directly impact our viewing experience, but like visible light, they can damage materials. (amnh.org)
  • Anyone who wishes to organize World Health Day events or activities is welcome to use the Toolkit and its materials. (who.int)
  • A sieve analysis (or gradation test) is a practice or procedure used in civil engineering and chemical engineering to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material by allowing the material to pass through a series of sieves of progressively smaller mesh size and weighing the amount of material that is stopped by each sieve as a fraction of the whole mass.

  • Timely, relevant and material information is critical to investors and companies," said SEC Chair Mary Jo White. (sec.gov)
  • The size distribution is often of critical importance to the way the material performs in use. (wikipedia.org)
  • If we observe the archive as a "fissile material, [and that] at its source, it is made of cuts" (Mbembe, 2019: 172), how do we then approach the archive as a process of sensitively 'filling in the void'--left by imperialism, colonialism, historical omission--if only to inform our present-future relationships (familial, communal, relational)?
