Stages
Determination of sand filling the cone
Determination bulk unit weight of sand
Determination bulk unit weight of natural soil
Procedure
Determining the weight of sand filling the cone
Sand passing through a 600µ sieve and retained over 300µ sieve is used.
Pouring cylinder attached over pouring cone is placed over level ground and completely filled with sand and weighed
The weight of sand + cylinder before pouring =푤_1
Now place the cylinder on the glass plate and open the shutter allow the sand to run out. Weigh the sand collected on the glass plate. This is the weight of sand filling pouring cone.
The weight of sand in pouring cone =푤_푐표푛푒
The weight of sand + cylinder after pouring on the glass =푤_2
The weight of sand in pouring cone =푤_푐표푛푒=푤_1−푤_2
Determination of bulk unit weight of sand
Determine the volume of the calibrated container (V)
Filled the pouring cylinder with weight 푤_1 again. Now placed over calibrating container and open the shutter, permit the sand to run into calibrating cylinder. When no further movement of sand is seen, close the shutter. Remove the pouring cylinder and weigh it.
The weight of sand + cylinder after pouring into calibrated cylinder =푤_3
The weight of sand filling calibrated cylinder (푤_푐푐 )=푤_1−(푤_푐표푛푒+푤_3 ")"
Determination of bulk unit weight of natural soil
Exposed about 45 cm square area of the soil and trim it down to a level surface.
Keep the metal tray on the level surface and excavate a circular hole of 10 cm diameter and 15 cm depth.
The weight of excavated soil =푤^′
Remove the tray, and placed the sand pouring cylinder over the hole, the cylinder should have sand of weight 푤_1.
Open the shutter and permit the sand to run into the hole. Close the shutter when no movement of the sand seen.
Remove the cylinder and weigh the sand pouring cylinder.
The weight of sand +cylinder after pouring into hole =푤_4
The weight of sand in the hole 〖(푤〗_ℎ표푙푒)=푤_1−(푤_4+푤_푐표푛푒)

Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
To determine dry density of soil by core cutter method
1. TO DETERMINE DRY DENSITY OF SOIL BY CORE CUTTER METHOD
Theory:
A cylindrical core cutter is a seamless steel tube. For determination of the
dry density of the soil, the cutter is pressed into the soil mass so that it is
filled with the soil. The cutter filled with the soil is lifted up. The mass of the
soil in the cutter is determined. The dry density is obtained as
Where M= mass of the wet soil in the cutter
V= internal volume of the cutter
w= water content.
Equipment:
1. Cylindrical core cutter, 100mm internal diameter and 130mm long
2. Steel rammer, mass 9kg, overall length with the foot and staff about
900mm.
3. Steel dolley, 25mm high and 100mm internal diameter
4. Weighing balance, accuracy 1g.
5. Palette knife
6. Straight edge, steel rule etc
Procedure
1. Determine the internal diameter and height of the core cutter to the
nearest 0.25mm
2. Determine the mass (M1) of the cutter to the nearest gram.
2. 3. Expose a small area of the soil to be tested. Level the surface, about
300mm square in area.
4. Place the dolley over the top of the core cutter and press the core cutter
into the soil mass using the rammer. Stop the pressing when about 15mm of
the dolley protrudes above the soil surface.
5. Remove the soil surrounding the core cutter, and take out the core cutter.
Soil soil would project from the lower end of the cutter.
6. Remove the dolley. Trim the tip and bottom surface of the core cutter
carefully using a straight edge.
7. Weigh the core cutter filled with the soil to the nearest gram (M2).
8. Remove the core of the soil from the cutter. Take a representative sample
for the water content determination.
9. Determine the water content.
