“…Trace metal concentrations were disclosed with an ICP-MS on two different grain size fractions (very fine-grained sand and clay). The sediments indicate possible adverse effects of trace metals on surrounding biota as elements like Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, and Hg show positive enrichment of greater than 1 when compared to background values from the upper continental crust (UCC) and sediment quality factors such as TEL (threshold effects level), PEL (probable effects level), ERL (effects range low), and ERM (effects range medium) values. …”

“…Fluidity was evaluated by flow test and measuring the heat of hydration; mechanical properties were evaluated in terms of compressive and flexural strength. The cement-to-silica sand ratio (C:S ratio) was also applied differently to adjust the pot life of polymer cement-based material (1:1 and 1:1.5) as a binder. …”

“…We found that two ponds had large shifts in chironomids assemblages that were associated with changes in habitat over time, while two others that were not as exposed to the influence of erosion and influx of sand dunes did not. Our findings established a baseline of historical change in SINPR, broadening the scope of long-term monitoring, which is essential for defining goals for management and conservation of the ecological integrity of Sable Island.…”

“…Recall driven by semantic organization captures an important, ecologically valid aspect of memory retrieval: because narratives of real-life events are typically comprised of semantically related concepts (e.g., “sea,” “bathing suit,” and “sand” when recalling a trip to the beach), their recall is likely driven by semantic organization. …”

“…The findings indicate that: (1) with a fiber content of 0.2%, the fiber-modified soil sample exhibits minimal damage, maximal dynamic strength and dynamic elastic modulus, and optimum resilience to dynamic loads; (2) akin to fiber-reinforced sand, an elevation in confining pressure can induce the creation of a quasi-cohesive force in fiber-reinforced soil, equivalently enhancing the confining pressure and thereby amplifying its strength; and (3) the surfaces of microparticles in the enhanced soil structure are enveloped with cementitious substances, while smaller soil particles coalesce to form aggregates that fill inter-particle pores, cultivating a denser and more stable improved soil structure and augmenting the dynamic characteristics of the improvement investment.…”

The examined properties include workability, compressive and flexural strengths, dry bulk density, capillary water absorption, adhesive bond strength, and water vapor permeability. …”
