Experimental diagenesis of lime mud
… hydrothermal experiments on a variety of lime muds ($<$25 $\mu$m size fraction), including natural lime muds, laboratory precipitated carbonates, and disaggregated skeletal materials.

Residential California adobe : mud form
Northern California has a rich tradition of adobe architecture . Formed with earth, defined by site, climate and use, the adobe structures exemplify a building methodology in harmony with nature and the lifestyle of it's inhabitants. The use of adobe as a construction material is currently gaining …

made of water, covered in mud
<p>My fixation on water as metaphor is a product of my cosmic design; Scorpio sun, Pisces moon, Pisces rising. I am made of water, begging to be held. Anything liquid has this same desire. I use my art practice to examine the fluidity of physical and digital spaces; how they transform almost …

Mud Volcano Systems: Structure, Evolution and Processes
Mud volcano systems erupt sediment and fluid onto the Earth’s surface producing edifices up to 25 km3 in volume however, little is known about how such volumes are transported through the Earth’s crust. This thesis investigates whether transport is through mud-dyke-sill complexes, or is diapiric. …

Of pigeons, and mud, and streets, and clouds
Attending to nonhumans--the innumerable trees, rats, cows, copper, smog, clouds, bricks, oil, shade, doors, speed bumps, and others who must be omitted for the requisite brevity of an 'abstract'--orients the ecological problem per our everyday epistemology: how we relate with the world. In this …

Nearshore sediment dynamics in a mixed sand/mud environment
… rates over the cohesively bound mixed sand/mud seabeds, and the dispersion of a turbid river plume. Three field experiments and an extensive seabed-sampling programme were undertaken, and a 2-cell numerical model was developed and validated against infilling rates of the port of Gisborne …

Dorsal-Ventral Patterning in the Mud Snail, Ilyanassa obsoleta
… establishment of the dorsal-ventral axis in the mud snail, Ilyanassa obsoleta. Ilyanassa and other spiralians utilize an embryonic organizer to induce dorsal identity, and thus establish the bilateral axis. The D macromere embryonic organizer in Ilyanassa is specified at the four-cell stage by …

Reducing log truck transfer of mud to public roads
… devices for addition to log trucks that removed mud from the dual-tires before the trucks entered the public road. The four devices built were simple, inexpensive, and could be built by a logging or trucking contractor. The "bar and scraper" and "mud flap" removed 85% and 84% of the mud, …

Experiments on the Transformation of Mud Flocs in Turbulent Suspensions
This dissertation aims to better understand how floc aggregate characteristics and behaviors are modified under different local conditions and how such alterations impact the floc settling velocity, which is one of the most crucial parameters influencing sediment transport modeling. A series of …

Low oil-water ratio invert emulsion mud for unconventional shale reservoirs
… management of the traditional diesel oil-based mud used for drilling difficult formations such as shale, there is the necessity to develop an environmentally friendly drilling mud. Vegetable oils such as Jatropha have proven to be a comparable alternative to diesel oil. However, there have been …

Admicellar Polymerization to Compatibilize Calcium Carbonate With Oil-Based Drilling Mud
… calcium carbonate (CC) are added to drilling mud to improve mud properties and performance during oil and gas drilling operations. Oil-based mud (OBM), a more preferred drilling mud, being hydrophobic is particularly non-compatible with hydrophilic CC. This work explored an economically viable …

Two-phase Flow Modelling of Mud Flocs Sedimentation in Coastal Waters
… effects by relating the settling velocity of mud flocs with mud flocs properties (size, shape and effective density) empirically based on various flocculation models for dilute suspension. A few investigations have also been reported on the cohesive sediment transport processes with high …

Extraction and recovery of valuable elements from Red Mud through biohydrometallurgy
… produced through the Bayer process is called Red Mud (RM). RM might be environmentally dangerous due to its high alkalinity (the pH in fact ranges between 10 and 12.5) and the presence of toxic elements. Nevertheless, the contemporary approach to waste streams could turn this aspect into an …

Modeling the transport of sand and mud in the Minnesota River
This thesis is organized into two chapters. The first chapter presents a study on the bankfull characteristics of rivers. The bankfull geometry of alluvial rivers is thought to be controlled by water and sediment supply, and characteristic sediment size. Here we demonstrate a novel finding: when …
