Mineral acquisition from clay by Budongo Forest chimpanzees
No full textDate of Acceptance: 06/07/2015Chimpanzees of the Sonso community, Budongo Forest, Uganda were observed eating clay and drinking clay-water from waterholes. We show that clay, clay-rich water, and clay obtained with leaf sponges, provide a range of minerals in different concentrations. The presence of aluminium in the clay consumed indicates that it takes the form of kaolinite. We discuss the contribution of clay geophagy to the mineral intake of the Sonso chimpanzees and show that clay eaten using leaf sponges is particularly rich in minerals. We show that termite mound soil, also regularly consumed, is rich in minerals. We discuss the frequency of clay and termite soil geophagy in the context of the disappearance from Budongo Forest of a formerly rich source of minerals, the decaying pith of Raphia farinifera palms.Peer reviewe
Guide to the nature and methods of analysis of the clay fraction of tephras from the South Auckland region, New Zealand.
No full textThe manual outlines some of the more common laboratory procedures available for qualitatively and quantitatively analysing the composition of the tephric clays, many of which are difficult to determine because of their short range order or 'amorphous' nature. Techniques described and assessed in terms of their rapidity and quantitativeness include XRD, IR, DTA, TEM and SEM, sodium fluoride reactivity, chemical dissolution analyses, and surface area measurements. No one technique alone produces a definitive clay fraction analysis of tephric deposits. -from Author

Three Baked Clay Figurines from Antelope Valley, California
No full textDuring mitigation work undertaken at a small occupation site (LAn-771) on Edwards Air Force Base in 1977 (Sutton 1977, 1978), a small baked clay figurine fragment with a punctate design was recovered. When this piece was shown to R. W. Robinson at Antelope Valley College, he remembered having recovered two similar artifacts during his excavations at Ker-303, a large occupation site about 25 miles west of LAn-771. This report describes these three artifacts and offers some limited comparisons with other figurines from southern California. These specimens are the first reported fired clay figurines from the Antelope Valley, the southwesternmost part of the Mojave Desert
Collective effects on the settling of clay flocs
No full textIn this work a high-magnification digital video camera in combination with a settling column is used to study in a first part the influence of the amount of flocs transferred into the settling column on their settling velocity. In a second part, the setup was used to study the properties of flocs prepared at different clay concentrations but at same flocculant to clay ratio (2.5mgg−1). Illite clay was used and flocculated in a 1 L jar with an anionic polyacrylamide (flocculant). Results show that the average settling velocity of flocs is a function of the amount of transferred flocs. It was also found that floc size and settling velocity depend on clay concentration. This is attributed to the fast aggregation happening in the jar when flocculant and clay are mixed: at higher clay concentrations, larger flocs are created in the first minutes of the experiment, with low densities that prevent them from settling to the bottom of the jar.Environmental Fluid MechanicsRivers, Ports, Waterways and Dredging Engineerin

Clay micromechanics: experimental challenges and perspectives
No full textThe importance of physico-chemical processes at the particle scale for the engineering scale behaviour of fine-grained geomaterials is undisputed. Yet, despite great advances in the discipline, experimental evidence that fully resolves the clay micromechanics i.e. linking the evolving microstructure and interparticle actions under loading, is lacking. This paper will discuss the challenges ahead in quantifying the evolving kinematics and interparticle interactions of finegrained geomaterials. As such, the current limitations, and the potential opportunities of experimental methodologies for manipulating, monitoring and (post-mortem) analysing fine-grained materials at the particle scale will be discussed. In addition to the need of integrating multiple experimental techniques that span several length scales and modalities, the critical role of advanced data reduction and analysis is highlighted, as required for a measurement as opposed to qualitative observation. Throughout the paper, the link between experimental clay micromechanics and modelling will be discussed.Geo-engineerin

Dredging Processes I: The Cutting of Sand, Clay & Rock - Theory
No full textThis book gives an overview of cutting theories. It starts with a generic model, which is valid for all types of soil (sand, clay and rock) after which the specifics of dry sand, water saturated sand, clay, rock and hyperbaric rock are covered. For each soil type small blade angles and large blade angles, resulting in a wedge in front of the blade, are discussed. The failure mechanism of sand, dry and water saturated, is the so called Shear Type. The failure mechanism of clay is the so called Flow Type, but under certain circumstances also the Curling Type and the Tear Type are possible. Rock will usually fail in a brittle way. This can be brittle tensile failure, the Tear Type, for small blade angles, but it can also be brittle shear failure, which is of the Shear Type of failure mechanism for larger blade angles. Under hyperbaric conditions rock may also fail in a more ductile way according to the Flow Type of failure mechanism. For each case considered, the equations/model for the cutting forces, power and specific energy are given. The models are verified with laboratory research, mainly at the Delft University of Technology, but also with data from literature.Marine & Transport TechnologyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
