10000 on a turntable at Kings Cross, 1931. The LNER W1 No. 10000 (also known as the Hush-Hush due to its secrecy) was an experimental steam locomotive fitted with a high pressure water-tube boiler.
A bur (also spelled burr) [1] is a seed or dry fruit or infructescence that has hooks or teeth. The main function of the bur is to spread the seeds of the bur plant, often through epizoochory. The hooks of the bur are used to latch onto fur or fabric, enabling the bur – which contain seeds – to be transported to another location for ...
Hot water scarification can be combined with chemical scarification, but might require protective equipment against formed gases. Hot water treatment is also used for removal of pathogens. Placing seeds in 90 °C for 90 seconds followed by dip in cold water for 30 seconds kills the human pathogens Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella. [3]
Scarification allows water and gases to penetrate into the seed; it includes methods to physically break the hard seed coats or soften them by chemicals, such as soaking in hot water or poking holes in the seed with a pin or rubbing them on sandpaper or cracking with a press or hammer. Sometimes fruits are harvested while the seeds are still ...
California legislation binds water generated through seeding to existing surface water rights and groundwater regulations, considering the produced water "natural supply". Yet courts could decide that the induced rain should be designated as "additional precipitation", permitting the cloud-seeding entity to claim a portion of this generated water.
Hydroseeding is an alternative to the traditional process of broadcasting or sowing dry seed. A study conducted along the lower Colorado River in Arizona reported that hydroseeding could be used to restore riparian vegetation in cleared land. [2] The slurry often has other ingredients including fertilizer, tackifying agents, fiber mulch, and ...
Proteins have high imbibition capacities, so proteinaceous pea seeds swell more than starchy wheat seeds. Imbibition of water increases imbibant volume, which results in imbibitional pressure (IP). The magnitude of such pressure can be demonstrated by the splitting of rocks by inserting dry wooden stalks in their crevices and soaking them in ...
