Seasonal Variations in Microflora of Four Denton County, Texas, Clay Soils

Description: This investigation has for its aim the confirmation of the correlation between soil moisture and the microflora of soils, and a lesser relation between the soil temperature and the microflora. The soils used in this study are typical clay soils of Denton County, Texas. The samples were taken from virgin pasture lands and analyses made monthly or semimonthly. The wide seasonal variation of temperature and rainfall afford a good opportunity for this study.

Moisture-Strength Characteristics of Selected Soils in Thailand, Volume 1: Analysis and Application of Data

Description: Partial summary: "Soil moisture, soil strength, and other relevant data were collected in Thailand during two wet seasons and one dry season for use in the development of methods to predict soil trafficability for off-road ground contact vehicles in Southeast Asia. Data were collected at 75 test sites distributed in eight geographic areas which had differences in soils, weather regimes, terrain, and land use" (p. xi).

Viking Lander: subsurface water analyzing probe. [Mars subsoil]

Description: A small terradynamic (soil penetrating) vehicle, to be released from the Viking Lander at an altitude of between 5000 and 6000 feet before the terminal descent on the vernier rockets begins, will implant a sensor package 3 to 5 feet beneath the surface to measure water content of Mars subsoil. As it penetrates the soil, the vehicle separates into a probe which carries the primary instrumentation and a tail section which contains the power supply, secondary sensors, and transmitter and antenna a… more

Computation of Soil Moisture at Brookhaven National Laboratory

Description: The high incidence of drought conditions in recent years has caused considerable concern among agriculturalists in eastern Long Island. A convenient method of computing soil moisture on a daily basis has therefore been sought in order to provide a quantitative estimate of present and past conditions.

Soil moisture studies based on wells at 32-49 coordinates

Description: Progress is reported in a limited study to measure the soil-moisture relationships at the Hanford site. Some of the tests have been conducted or are in progress using soil samples from a site located at the 32-49 Hanford Coordinates. Sections are included on original studies on well 32-49A, tritium assays of soil samples from wells at 32-49 coordinates, installation of sensors to the water table, and soil-moisture models. (JRD)

Encapsulation of explosive particles by parylene. Quarterly report, October--December, 1971

Description: Parylene is the generic name for members, e.g. parylene N,C,D of a thermoplastic polymer series developed by Union Carbide (Reta is a trade name for the materials). All of the members are laid down by a vacuum, vapor deposition process. The properties and uses for each member of the series differ from each other, but collectively the Parylenes have a wide range of applications. Gas permeability and moisture vapor transmission of Parylene C are very low. These properties make Parylene potentiall… more
