Experiments requisite to developing these procedures were planned and performed under the supervision of Edward Morrice, Extractive Metallurgist. Mr. Morrice is the senior author of the attached Reports of Investigation, 5549, 5868, and 607 5, which contain the pertinent metallurgical laboratory data
Transforming Technical Services: A Case Study at the University of Nevada, Reno Libraries
No full textTechnical services in academic libraries face tremendous challenges to transform and move to the next generation of operations and services. Following an overview of the transformational changes affecting library technical services and the strategic shifts that are currently happening, in this article the author discusses the transformational efforts of Technical Services at the University of Nevada, Reno Libraries and concludes with lessons learned and suggestions for other libraries interested in exploring a transformation of their technical services
Ep. #115 - Joshua Reno
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Dominic and Cymene make a cinematic announcement and offer dubious pronunciations. Then (13:05) we welcome to the podcast legendary anthropologist of waste, Joshua Reno from Binghamton University, author of Waste Away: Working and Living with a North American Landfill (U California Press, 2015). We remind Josh first of all about his undergraduate thesis on the “Columbine effect” in American society and talk through school shootings as a media, racial and political phenomenon ever since. Josh explains how he got interested in studying the United States as a “nation of landfills” and we talk about landfills’ logic of material repression and how they enable fantasies of limitless growth. We discuss the need to rescale waste and make visible its social, material and multispecies dimensions and Josh describes the advantages of his biosemiotic approach to theorizing waste. We turn from there to wastework as a form of labor, metabolism as a conversation in the human sciences, and the energy/waste nexus. Josh explains how many waste-to-energy projects don’t actually trouble the logic of landfill as much as one might expect and the connection he sees between denying waste and denying death in our culture. We discuss the dark horizon of spectacular disaster waste that will accompany climate change and close with a discussion of Josh’s current book project about what happened to all that Cold War American military hardware that wasn’t used in battle.

Hydraulic test to develop design criteria for the use of Reno mattresses
No full textThe present study was aimed at evaluating the performance of Maccaferri mattress products when used as river and canal bank and bed revetment. A hydraulic testing program was developed and undertaken to provide experimental data pertaining to the performance of reno mattresses. Test data were utilized to develop reliable design criteria for Maccaferri reno mattresses. Major tasks include: 1. To review the existing design methodologies and field application experience pertaining to gabions and mattresses. 2. To determine the roughness of revet mattresses. 3. To evaluate requirements of underlying granular filters or filter cloth layers. 4. To evaluate the stability of mattresses subjected to various flow conditions. 5. To analyze test results and develop design criteria applicable to mattress protection designs
Irrigation district sustainability
No full textPresented at Irrigation district sustainability - strategies to meet the challenges: USCID irrigation district specialty conference held on June 3-6, 2009 in Reno, Nevada.Canal lining for seepage reduction is extremely expensive. Compaction of soils during the construction of earthen dams is essential for seepage reduction. In an effort to determine if simple in-situ vibratory soil compaction could minimize seepage losses, ITRC conducted large-scale tests on the sides and bottoms of five irrigation district earthen canal. When the sides and bottoms were compacted, reductions of about 86% were obtained; reductions of 12 – 31% were obtained when only sides were compacted
