In preparation for desserts, used dishes were removed but no one wiped off the off-putting soiled glass tabletop.
At which point they'll discover the hitherto-unknown narcotic properties of soil or glass or cigarette butts, and the whole thing will start again.
After root induction the plants were transferred to soil in glass house at 25°C under a 16/8 h light/dark photoperiod regime.
Elminir et al. (2006) in Egypt investigated the effect of dust on the transparent cover of solar sensor using several sensors and concluded that soiling on glass inclined of an angle of 0° and 90° from horizontal causes a reduction in the corresponding transmittance by approximately 52.54 and 12.38%, respectively.
TCE was added to soil in a glass beaker that was immediately covered and placed on ice to avoid TCE volatilization.
I had bought a pan, a pick-axe, a shovel, some buckets, a classifier sieve for grading down soil, and a glass bottle for the gold I would find, and headed off, all bright and shiny to a spot called Wingate Bar on the Klamath, about 10 miles outside Happy Camp.
The pH value of the examined soil using a glass electrode pH-meter (Jackson 1973) averaged 7.4.
After each incubation period, soil from each glass jar was collected and analyzed for organic C. The chemical properties of soil and different organic materials were analyzed using standard methods such as soil pH by glass electrode (Jackson 1958), organic carbon by wet oxidation (Walkley and Black 1935), and total N by micro-Kjeldahl method (Black 1965).
The mixture of soil and waste glass of particle sizes <2 mm at one of the oldest Swedish glassworks (the Pukeberg) was studied by analyzing the trace elements content, organic content (3.6%) and pH (7.4).
The second experiment measured the gut transit time, gut load and cast production of A. turgida fed soil marked with glass beads, either without litter or mixed with plant litter (soybean leaves with high N, wheat stems with low N).
In May 2011, Erik Hauri et al. reported 615 1410 ppm water in melt inclusions in lunar sample 74220, the famous high-titanium "orange glass soil" of volcanic origin collected during the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
