The brown muck of b^0 and b^0_s mixing: beyond the standard model
Standard Model contributions to neutral B meson mixing begin at the one loop level where they are further suppressed by a combination of the GIM mechanism and Cabibbo suppression. This combination makes B meson mixing a promising probe of new physics, where as yet undiscovered particles and/or …

Spatial and temporal distribution of beach fouling in Saginaw Bay, Michigan
… and temporal distribution of beach fouling (muck), muck composition, and any relationship between muck accrual and weather conditions. Muck deposition was greater towards the end of the growing season. The Bay City Recreation Area (BCRA) had the highest frequency of muck presence. BCRA muck …

Dammed If You Don't: The Palmertown Tragedy of 1924 in Collective Memory
On December 24, 1924, a wall of water and alkali muck engulfed Palmertown, a small community in Saltville, Virginia. Houses were swept away and by the time all of the bodies were pulled from the wreckage, the death toll had reached 19-an immense loss for the tight-knit community. A dam, owned by …

Developing a system to measure rheology of conditioned soil for soft-ground TBM tunneling
… the most significant. EPB TBMs use the excavated muck in the machine chamber as a supporting medium before moving it to the muck haulage system. This is conducted to achieve the desired functionality of the conditioned muck, such as maintaining face stability while ensuring the designed advancing …
