Sentence examples for sediments less from inspiring English sources

This manuscript addresses the consequences of the common practice of assuming that the gravel fraction of sediments does not participate in sorption reactions and thus sorption quantified by the distribution coefficient (Kd) construct can be estimated from laboratory tests on sediments less than 2 mm size fraction.

All of the AS homologues exhibited fast adsorption to the river sediments (less than 20 min).

Because young mangroves had less effect on the sediments, the result was in agreement with our present study in that Ca. Scalindua brodae tended to inhabit sediments less affected by mangroves.

In any case, percentages of silt-sized sediment less than 10% did not affect growth.

When anoxic conditions prevail deeper in the sediment, less sulfide will be available in the pore water and bacteria like Beggiatoa will store polyphosphates in vacuoles within their cells.

Although there have been several investigations into the dynamics of contaminated river sediment, less attention has been paid to the sources of deposited particulate matter in dams and reservoirs.

However, differences between measured Kd values using sediment less than 2 mm size fraction and the Kd values on the bulk sediment were significant for intermediately and strongly reactive radionuclides such as U and Np, especially on the sediment with gravel fractions that contained highly reactive sites.

Laboratory batch sorption experiments showed that the distribution coefficients measured using only sediment less than 2 mm size fraction and correcting for inert gravel fraction were not in agreement with those obtained from the bulk sediments including gravel (larger than 2 mm size fraction), depending on the radionuclide.

It is interesting to note that FtsZ38, which sedimented less efficiently than wt FtsZ in experiments without ZapA (but with DEAE-dextran), sediments with similar efficiency in the presence of ZapA.

This paleoenvironmental interpretation has been applied specifically to the 18-inch Layer, which is reinforced by the paucity of clastic sediment (less than 5%) composing this stratum, as well as excellent preservation of teleost body fossils serving as indicators of distance from shore [1], [2], [4].

Berner and Rsaisewell (1983) suggested that S/TOC ratio of fresh water sediments is less than that in marine sediments.
