The use of high clay content dredger fill is a popular way to reclaim and create new land for development in coastal areas. In this paper, the dredger fill samples were obtained from 7 locations on the Bohai Sea coast in China. The soils were tested for Granulometric composition, physical composition, chemical composition, and Atterberg Limits. These results are reported. The principle finding shows that the chemical composition of the pore fluids, such as namely problems of drainage and consolidation, has influence on the geotechnical properties of different soils. This work provides the basis for further research on the drainage and consolidation properties of high clay content dredger fill.

ABSTRACT Knowledge of herbicides sorption by colloids predicts its movement in the soil profile and its effectiveness in controlling weeds and crops poisoning when directly applied to the soil. This knowledge becomes even more important for herbicides which have long persistence in the soil. In this research, clomazone sorption was estimated by the biological method in Brazilian soil samples with different physical and chemical characteristics, cultivated with sugarcane crops. As an indicator of the presence of clomazone in the soil, Sorghum bicolor was used. The data relating to assessments of poisoning and accumulation of dry matter of the plants were subjected to multivariate analysis of similarity among variables. After that, clomazone doses that caused 50% of intoxication in sorghum plants grown (C50) as well as sorption ratio (SR) of the herbicide in different soil types were estimated. There was similarity greater than 80% for data regarding the percentage of intoxication and accumulated dry matter, with the option to use only those related to the first variable. RS and C50 were higher in Organosol and lower in red-yellow Latosol with and without changing the pH. It was concluded that the clomazone dose to be recommended must be differentiated for different soils, since the value of clomazone sorption in the soil is dependent on its attributes, and the organic matter content is of the utmost importance.

Amber of amber-bearing deposits in Rivne-Volyn region of Ukraine has been analyzed. Relying upon instrumental techniques, physical and chemical as well as spectral analyses, and geological prospecting of the deposits, chemical composition and ultimate composition of amber occurring at the territory of Klesiv deposit (Ukraine, Rivne Region, Sarny District) have been identified. Klesiv amber contains the greatest part of inclusions; it contains 18 chemical elements. Basing upon the performed geological cross-section it has been determined that the amber occur in sandy soil and sandy-shale soil. The depth is insignificant – from 1 m to 10 – 15 m. Moreover, to determine the cost, experimental technique has been developed. The technique involves classification of the amber fragments according to their form, dimensions, and colour. Lithologic-and-facies sections of sites of Klesiv deposit have been obtained.

The production of ewe milk is seasonal and milk yield per animal is low, even in specialized animals. This study aimed to verify the possibility of preserving bulk tank milk for seven days under cooling (5°C) and freezing (-5°C), verify the influence of cooling treatments and of the months of the year on the physical and chemical characteristics of the product. The chemical composition of milk, including the fat, protein, lactose and total solids contents, was not altered by cooling and freezing. Protein and lactose contents varied according to the months of the year. The average percentage and standard deviation of fat, protein, lactose and total solids was 8.10±1.30, 5.22±0.37, 4.43±0.23 and 19.34±1.54, respectively. The density, pH, titratable acidity, as well as alcohol and heat stability tests were significantly influenced by the treatments used (P < 0.05), but no differences were found between fresh and frozen milk. Prolonged refrigeration caused an increase in acidity and decrease in pH, with a consequent reduction in the stability of milk. These results demonstrated that freezing does not affect the chemical composition and physical characteristics of milk in nature and it could be a solution for the producer and the sheep milk industry.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of harvest at different times of day on the chemical and physical characteristics of vegetable-type soybean BRS 267 cultivar, harvested at the R6 stage (seed development) and to compare it with that on the grains harvested at the R8 stage (maturation). The pods of the BRS 267 cultivar were harvested at the R6 stage (at 8:00 AM, 12:00 AM, and 6:00 PM), the color parameters were evaluated, and the grains were analyzed for chemical composition, activity inhibitor trypsin, phytic acid content, starch, sugars, fatty acids, and isoflavones. No differences were observed among the different harvest times in terms of the chemical constituents of vegetable-type soybean BRS 267 cultivar harvested at the R6 stage. Isoflavones content did not change with different harvest times, and the aglycone forms (daidzein, glycitein, and genistein) were found in smaller quantities at the R6 stage compared to the R8 stage. The color of the pods of soybean BRS 267 cultivar, harvested at the R6 stage did not change with different harvest times. The grains harvested at the R6 stage had lower protein content, phytic acid, and sucrose and higher levels of lipids, carbohydrates, starch, glucose, fructose, stachyose, and linolenic acids than those collected at the R8 stage. The different times of harvest did not affect the quality of the vegetable-type soybean BRS 267 cultivar harvested at stage R6. Nevertheless, it is recommended to harvest in the morning, when the temperature is milder, like other vegetables, to facilitate and optimize its marketing and in natura consumption.

The profile migration of pollutants that occurs most intensively in spring, autumn, and summer with a large amount of precipitation when intensive descending flows of soil moisture take place is of particular importance. The migration of heavy metals is limited by their deposition on geochemical barriers. The study of the profile migration and accumulation of heavy metals showed that metals have an unequal behavior in soils; a change in their content in the profile is noted. The article presents the dynamics of the distribution of moving forms of heavy metals in different soils of the Orenburg region. An equation of exponential regression was proposed. The equation allows assessing the migrative ability of heavy metal by the value of indicator α. There were studied physical and chemical characteristics of the soil, namely its composition, the content of heavy metals, which in total affects the overall state of the soil and plant system. The structure of the system was analyzed and determined by probabilities of the presence of a pollutant in the components of the system. As a result, a complex indicator showing the movement of heavy metals in the soil-plant system was calculated.

Consumption of poultry meat is increasing worldwide. However, little is known about the consumption and acceptability of meat from older hens and about the physical and chemical characteristics of this type of meat. This study evaluated the effect of broiler age and aging time on the physical properties, tenderness, chemical composition, and lipid profile of breast meat from broilers slaughtered at 6 (commercial age) and 70 weeks of age (broiler hens). The variables analysed were: colour, pH, water-holding capacity, cooking weight loss, shear force, total collagen, myofibrillar fragmentation index, chemical composition, total cholesterol, lipid oxidation, and fatty acid profile. Compared with commercial broilers, meat from broiler hens had higher shear force (from 33.45 N to 14.91 N after 3 days of aging), higher fat content, and lower cholesterol concentration. Additionally, it had more monounsaturated fatty acids and less polyunsaturated fatty acids than meat from commercial broilers. Collagen, fat, cholesterol levels and myofibrillar fragmentation index decreased with aging. The use of broiler hen meat as a raw material may be beneficial to the poultry industry because it has more fat and less cholesterol, higher intracellular water-holding capacity, and lower cooking loss than meat from commercial broilers. Moreover, because of the lower concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids, broiler hen meat is less susceptible to lipid oxidation. Aging breast fillets for 3 days at 2°C is sufficient to tenderise the meat and reduce the amount of fat and cholesterol, suggesting that aging can be used as a technique to add value to poultry meat products.

Abstract Landslides are the second biggest natural disasters in Indonesia, occurring mostly in volcanic area with thick and clay rich soils. Examining the changes of land surface and soil morphology brought about by a particular landslide is usually the first step required for vegetative rehabilitation. Most examinations to date, however, have been based on general characters rather than on soil morphology, including physical and chemical characteristics of the soil, which are usually locally specific. This study investigates the morphological characteristics of soil in a landslide-prone slope region of Sumbing Volcano, in Central Java Province of Indonesia. The field investigations are conducted at three landslides sites. It starts with interpreting small format areal-photographs which have been geo-corrected, followed by the delineation of landslide zones (i.e. crowns, main scarps, heads, bodies and toes) based on morphological analysis of the landslide sites. Finally, identification of morphological, physical and chemical characteristics of the soil in each of the landslide zones are conducted in the field, along with laboratory tests. The results demonstrate that soil morphology is unique for each of the landslide zones. The characters of the undisturbed soil, as indicated by well-defined genetic horizons, are found in the crown zones. Outcrop of high clay content soil material layers are seen in the main scarp zones. Meanwhile pedoturbation processes are evident in the zone of bodies and toes, suggesting that the soil is prone for erosion. If natural erosions in these zones are not controlled and/or unmitigated, the situation will trigger landslide reactivations. We suggest that in studying landslide, one also considers the characters of soil morphology, as this additional information provides a more complete understanding of both land surface morphology and soil morphology to inform landslide vegetative rehabilitation.

And Chemical Properties

The sorption and desorption behaviour of diquat and paraquat, in the presence of different salt concentrations, has been studied in some Western Australian soils varying in physical and chemical properties. Sorption isotherms were found to be of the 'L' type according to the Giles classification with the data fitting well to the Langmuir equation. The sorption capacities of soils for diquat ranged from very high in clay soil (146 400 �mol kg-1) to very low in sand (1765 �mol kg-1) and followed the order of clay content in the soils. The clay soil also showed the highest value for the Langmuir coefficient representing bonding energy. The sorption capacities for the herbicides were less than the CEC of the soils. Both the type and content of clay minerals present in soil were important for sorption and subsequent desorption of the dipyridylium herbicides. An increase in the salt concentration of the soil solution (from 0.005 to 0.05 M CaCl2) resulted in decreases in sorption capacities for the herbicides ranging from some 17% to 40% in the different soils. Both Ca2+ and Na+ cations competed for the sorption sites with the herbicides, but Na+ was not as effective as Ca2+. Desorption of the herbicides was also significantly affected by the salt concentrations of the extractant. After five successive extractions with 0.005 m CaCl2, the total amounts of equilibrium sorption desorbed from the Bassendean surface soil were 13% and 7% for diquat and paraquat, respectively. The percentages of diquat removed by extractions decreased with increasing clay contents in the soils studied. Desorption of diquat was higher than that of paraquat at all salt concentrations. Hysteresis was evident between sorption and desorption isotherms.. As sorption increased, the desorption became easier, indicating that the herbicides were less strongly held. Sorption which occurred in the presence of higher ionic strength solutions of inorganic cations was relatively less susceptible to desorption.
