Abstract:
Spheroidal electron-dense masses averaging two microns in diameter comprise up to 20% of a thin Eocene grey kaolin in the upper part of the Huber Fm. near Wrens, Georgia. TEM and SEM reveal that the microspheroids consist of tangentially oriented kaolinite platelets enclosing much finer, delicate intergrowths of secondary authigenic minerals.Many types of bacteria and algae produce mucopolysaccharidal exudates which can attach clay platelets. Clay-clad microorganisms are especially common in marine and estuarine environments, where high ionic strength compresses the electric double layer of kaolinite sufficiently for van der Waals forces to aid its attachment to exudates. Maclean and Smart found clay-clad prokaryotic cells in recent estuarine sediments. Avnimelech, et al. demonstrated mutual flocculation of algae and clay upon addition of electrolyte. Because the size and structure of the clay-clad microspheroids in the Eocene kaolin closely resembles the clay-clad bacteria in recent marine muds, they are interpreted as trace fossils of bacteria.

Abstract:
Field research was conducted in 1982 and 1983 to characterize the persistence of fluridone {1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4(1H)pyridinone} in five Georgia soils. Fluridone persisted less than 365 days in all soils, with shorter persistence upon reapplication in 1983 which indicated the potential for enhanced microbial degradation. A significantly higher rate of loss in 1983 compared to 1982 was recorded in the Greenville sandy clay and Dothan loamy sand soils. A higher rate of loss was recorded for the 1.7 kg ai/ha than the 0.6 kg/ha treatment in the Bradson clay loam and Rome gravelly clay loam soils. No grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench. ‘BR 64’) injury was observed in a field bio assay planted in the spring of 1984. Herbicide leaching did not appear to be an important method of loss.

Abstract:
This paper presents the first study of the so-called ‘brown-clay’ amphorae discovered by the Gonio-Apsaros Polish-Georgian Expedition in the Roman fort of Apsaros (modern Gonio, Georgia) between 2014 and 2018. In the course of five excavation seasons, 157 diagnostic fragments of these containers were attested, all belonging to variants Ch 1B2 and Ch 1C dated to between c. 50 BC and the 3rd century AD. Thus, they confirm the existence of the Apsaros fortress during the first three centuries of the present era. Both Colchian and south-eastern Pontic containers were found in Apsaros, the latter produced probably in Trapezus. This suggests the south-eastern Pontic provenance of some of the imports in Apsaros, especially until the end of the 1st century AD. On the other hand, local production of containers indicates that the area of the fortress might have produced food surpluses (probably wine), which during the late 1st and throughout the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD were exported to other areas neighbouring the Black Sea.

Abstract:
Norflurazon [4-chloro-5-(methylamino)-2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3(2H)-pyridazinone] persistence in five Georgia soils after application to the same plots in 1982 and 1983 was characterized by rapid initial degradation followed by slow loss of the herbicide. The rate of norflurazon loss at each location for each year was not affected by application rate (1.7 or 3.4 kg ai/ha). Relative rates of norflurazon loss were Dothan loamy sand ≥ Greenville sandy clay loam ≥ Rome gravelly clay loam = Appling coarse sanely loam > Bradson clay loam. The rate of dissipation was slower in 1983 than 1982 in the Greenville and Appling soils. Cool and/or dry environmental conditions combined with higher soil organic matter content caused slower herbicide loss. Norflurazon residue 1 yr after treatment in all soils was greater in 1983 than in 1982. Significant injury to grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench. ‘BR 64’) was observed in the spring of 1984 at all locations in all plots that were treated with norflurazon for the previous two seasons. The degree of injury corresponded to the concentration of norflurazon detected at that sampling date. Leaching did not appear to be an important method of norflurazon loss.

Abstract:
Flurtamone and atrazine adsorption to soil was examined using a batch equilibrium method. Flurtamone mobility in packed soil columns under saturated flow conditions was also evaluated. Adsorption was greater for flurtamone than atrazine in the three soils, and the order of adsorption to soil for both herbicides was Greenville sandy clay loam > Cecil loam > Dothan loamy sand. Greater adsorption of each herbicide corresponded to soils with greater organic matter and clay content. The14C–flurtamone movement under saturated flow conditions in 28–cm soil–packed columns was limited to 16 cm, with no flurtamone leaching from any soil column after the addition of two pore volumes of water. Seventy–five percent of the applied14C–flurtamone remained in the 0– to 4–cm soil depth in the Greenville sandy clay loam, with less than 5 percent moving to a depth > 4 cm. Flurtamone movement was greater in the Cecil loam and the Dothan loamy sand, with movement in each soil to a depth of 16 and 12 cm, respectively.

Abstract:
A greenhouse study was conducted to investigate the uptake, accumulation and percent recovery of N, P, K, Ca and Mg by sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) cv `TI-155', `Centennial', `Georgia Jet' and `Rojo Blanco'. These cultivars were grown in a fritted clay medium and harvested after 42 and 32 days. There were no significant difference in total elements uptake among the cultivars at 42 days. However, Georgia Jet accumulated more P and K than TI-155 and had higher levels of K than Rojo Blanco at day 82. Total accumulation of elements increased significantly from 42 to 82 days. Leaves accounted for most of the plant N at both harvest periods. Storage roots contained significantly more K than leaves, vines or fibrous roots. Percent N, P and K uptake was significantly lower at 42 than at 82 days. Cultivars also had no significant difference in percent uptake at day 42. However, at day 82, Georgia Jet showed a significantly higher P and K percent recovery than Rojo Blanco.

Abstract:
Degradation of flurtamone in a Greenville sandy clay loam, a Cecil loam, and a Dothan loamy sand with 0, 1, or 2 yr of previous flurtamone field use was evaluated under controlled conditions. Soil sterilization by autoclaving significantly reduced flurtamone dissipation rate in all soils. Enhanced degradation of flurtamone was observed in a Greenville sandy clay loam after 1 yr of previous flurtamone field use and in a Cecil loam after 2 yr of previous flurtamone field use. No enhancement of flurtamone degradation was observed in a Dothan loamy sand. Flurtamone degradation kinetics in these studies was described as a first-order process. Microbial populations in each soil showed no major changes in total bacterial numbers due to preexposure to flurtamone in the field.

Abstract. The aim of this study was to determine certain basic properties of soils in the Batumi delta (southwestern Georgia) to determine the relationships of studied properties and to identify differences with regards to these properties between different sampling sites in the delta that were selected based on the delta morphology. In this context, a total of 125 soil samples were collected from five different sampling sites, and the clay, silt and sand content of the samples were determined along with their mean weight diameter (MWD) values, aggregate stability (AS) values, amount of water retained under −33 (FC) and −1500 kPa (WP) pressure and organic matter (OM) content. Correlation analysis indicated that clay content and OM were positively correlated with MWD, and OM was positively correlated with AS. However, the sand content was found to be negatively correlated with MWD. In addition, clay, silt and OM content were positive correlated with FC and WP. Variance analysis results determined statistically significant differences between the sampling sites with respect to all of the evaluated properties. The active delta section of the study area was characterized by high sand content, while the lower delta plain was characterized by high OM and AS values, and the upper delta plain was characterized by high MWD values, high FC and WP moisture content levels and high clay and silt content. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that the examined properties were significantly affected by the different morphological positions and usages of these different areas. These results may help with the management of agricultural lands in the Batumi delta, which has never been studied before.

Abstract:
This study documents the occurrence of dinoflagellate, chlorophyte, and acritarch cysts from the Upper Cretaceous upper Cusseta, Ripley, and lower Providence Formations in the USGS Fort Gaines core, drilled in Clay County, Georgia. A total of 75 taxa were identified, consisting of 36 genera, 61 species, and 5 subspecies of dinoflagellates, 3 genera and 4 species of chlorophytes, 3 genera and 4 species of acritarchs, and 1 problematical protozoan. 15 of these taxa are unpublished. The study's cyst assemblage was statistically analyzed to ascertain paleoecologic patterns. The results from cluster analysis and detrended correspondence analysis indicate the presence of four cyst associations. The Deflandrea pannucea association is interpreted as indicative of low salinity related to nearby river discharge. The Deflandrea sp. A association is confined to the inner shelf. The Exochosphaeridium bifidum and Glaphyrocysta reticulosa associations alternate under normal marine conditions. The associations correlate well with observed lithologies and lithologic change. Comparison of this study's assemblage with other Late Cretaceous assemblages provides limited information, since many biostratigraphically-important species are not present in this study. However, comparisons with Wilson's (1974), Benson's (1976), and Firth's (1984) zonations suggest a Lower Maastrichtian age for all strata in this study.

Abstract:
Erosion of a river bed has important implications with respect to scour around river structures such as bridges, transport of contaminants attached to the sediment, and disruption or destruction of aquatic habitats. Erosion occurs when the resistive strength of the sediment is overcome by the hydrodynamic forces produced by the flow of water. This resistance to erosion in a sediment originates from gravity or interparticle forces for coarse sediment (sand and gravel) and fine sediment (silt and clay), respectively. Since the erosion of fine sediment depends on the combination of many interparticle forces, and this combination fluctuates widely amongst different fine sediments, past studies have had difficulty finding a consistent method to estimate fine sediment erosion. This study analyzes sediments that fall in the transition size range between fine and coarse sediments and compares the findings with those from fine sediments (Wang 2013) and sandy coarse sediments (Navarro 2004, Hobson 2008), in order to correlate the erosion rates of both sediment types to their physical characteristics. In this study, kaolin-sand mixtures were prepared by mixing various percentages of Georgia kaolin by weight ranging from 30% to 100% with industrial fine sand and tap water. Geotechnical and other tests of sediment properties were performed to measure water content, bulk density, grain size distribution, temperature, pH, and conductivity of these mixtures. Hydraulic flume experiments measured the erosion rates of each sediment and these rates were used to estimate the critical shear stress correlating to that mixture. Relationships between the physical properties of the sediment and critical shear stress were developed by multiple regression analysis. An alternative option of estimating the critical shear stress by a weighted equation, which uses the combination of fine sediment erosion and coarse sediment erosion equations separately, was explored and found to be a viable and accurate option to estimating both coarse and fine sediment erosion from the same parameters and equation. The results from this study can be used to estimate sediment erodibility and thus river bed stability based on simple tests of physical properties of the river bed sediment and will help predict scour around bridges and other flow obstructions.

Orange, turqoise, apricot, brown, dirt, soil, water, sky and sulfur were my first bricks while building this collection. Ifound them in the pictures I took in Yellowstone, in the summer of 2010. While being in Yellowstone I thought aboutthe artist Georgia O´Keffee, an artist I’ve long liked. The landscape of Yellowstone reminded me about her landscapepaintings so I researched her life and work. She was a genuine feminist without saying it, she just lived like she wasequal to other women and men. This led me to a book about forgotten goddesses where I found references todrapings that I’ve developed and interspersed with flat pattern cutting. One of my key objectives, in this project andother projects, has been to push the limits of menswear towards feminine elements. I believe that there’s a certainreason why a woman can wear a suit without anyone looking twice but it’s very striking if a man wears a dress. Inthis collection I’ve looked into various reasons for this and I aim to let men dress the same way as women do aswell as the other way around.

Abstract:
Chapter 3 explores the “Bachelor’s mess,” a phrase drawn from Buchanan’s correspondence, and notes the many ways in which their shared Washington boardinghouse intersected with the overlapping identities of party, section, and marital status. New messmates (and bachelors) emerged during this period, including the lesser known Democrats Edward Lucas of Virginia, Robert Carter Nicholas of Louisiana, John Pendleton King of Georgia, Bedford Brown of North Carolina, William Sterrett Ramsey of Pennsylvania, and William Henry Roane of Virginia. Their congregation into a single boardinghouse produced one of the most politically powerful such units in Washington during the Jacksonian era. As the congressional Democrats struggled to resist the Whig agenda promoted by Henry Clay, Buchanan and King solidified a political strategy that included the institution of a gag rule to quell discussion of slavery and opposition to the national bank. Finally, the chapter continues earlier themes to suggest how Buchanan’s experience in the bachelor’s mess yielded the twin results of his hardening into a committed northern dough-face and his growing intimacy with King.

<em>Abstract</em>.—Striped bass <em>Morone saxatilis</em> habitat in water bodies is affected by many factors such as hydrological and meteorological conditions, eutrophication, reservoir operations, dam outlet levels, lake characteristics, and watershed characteristics. The CE-QUAL-W2 water quality model is a tool that can integrate the effects of all these factors on striped bass habitat. Once a baseline model is calibrated, it can be used to diagnose constraints to striped bass habitat, identify potential enhancement measures, and evaluate ways to alleviate the impacts of conflicting water uses. Importantly, the model integrates the best available information within the best available scientific method of evaluating water quality or habitat issues. Centering the discussion around an agreed-upon scientific tool helps to ensure that the subjective concerns expressed by stakeholders are objectively evaluated. In the three case studies explored in this paper, a change of hydropower operation was agreed to for Lake Murray, South Carolina that would help maintain summer habitat for striped bass; simulations indicated that hydropower operations were not a major factor affecting striped bass habitat in Clay-tor Lake, Virginia; and an efficient oxygen injection system was designed for J. Strom Thurmond Reservoir, South Carolina and Georgia to mitigate for habitat loss associated with a change in hydropower operation. Water quality modeling is an important tool for objectively evaluating the maintenance or enhancement of striped bass and hybrid striped bass (white bass <em>M. chrysops</em> × striped bass) habitat in reservoirs.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the American preoccupation with money. While there was little concern in the United States for the central themes of classical economics or for the Marxian and other forms of criticism against it, there was an intense discussion of various practical economic topics such as tariffs, monopolies, and questions relating to money. The chapter first considers the debate over tariffs and tariff protection in nineteenth-century America involving figures such as Alexander Hamilton, Henry Clay, and Henry Carey before discussing issues pertaining to trade, monopolies, trusts, and competition. In particular, it looks at the Sherman Act and other antitrust legislation. It also analyzes the Social Darwinism of Herbert Spencer that provided a defense of the classical ideas in the United States. The chapter concludes with an assessment of the contributions of Henry George and Thorstein Veblen to the debate on classical economics.

Abstract:
This concluding chapter argues that Mad Max is a benchmark in Australia's cinema, even if initially the film might have been overshadowed by The Road Warrior (1982), and its influence best embodies the post-apocalyptic subgenre. Today, leather-clad Max Rockatansky is an Australian icon. Mad Max represents pure guerrilla moviemaking. It is this humble quality, mixed with an audacity somewhere between inspired and crazy, that makes Mad Max a true one-off; the type of thing one can only get away with once. George Miller did not singlehandedly invent the post-apocalyptic actioner, but his specific iteration of the planet going down in flames provided a template for others to follow. Throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s, especially, Italian genre flicks, Ozploitation titles, and Hollywood tried to rework the Mad Max formula.

Abstract:
It is a scene of devastation, as far as the eye can see. Swathes of bleak landscape, with strewn boulders embedded in a sticky mass of sandy clay. Here and there are signs of a little more order—distinct spreads of gravel or patches of fine sand. Mostly, though, it looks as though every type of sediment, from fine clay to house-sized blocks, has simply been stirred together and spread across the land. Remove the crops and topsoil of gentle Leicestershire and Suffolk, or of central Germany or Kansas, and this is what lies beneath. Between the ordered sedimentary strata of the distant geological past and the ordered calm of the present is evidence of an only-just-elapsed catastrophe, and two centuries ago, when the science of the Earth was young, the naturalists of those days pondered on what it might mean. There were those like the young William Buckland, both Reader in mineralogy at Oxford and priest (he went on to become Dean of Westminster), who saw in it evidence of the biblical Deluge. Or Jean André de Luc, mentor to the wife of George III, who considered that the large blocks had been fired, like Roman ballista, from the mountains by some powerful but mysterious explosions. Or Sir James Hall, a savant of Edinburgh, who thought that the blocks had been carried into position by tsunamis, generated when large areas of sea floor (he supposed) suddenly popped up like blisters—he was clearly of an intellectually playful disposition. Or Leopold von Buch, who invoked catastrophic mudflows (one such, indeed, did take place in an Alpine valley, the Val de Bagnes, just after von Buch’s paper on this topic was published, when a natural dam burst, scattering mud and boulders far down the valley, and killing many people). But it was that extraordinary polymath, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (a one-time Superintendent of Mines, if you please) who was among the first to sense what had been going on, when he associated the scattered blocks with a great expansion of the Alpine glaciers he was familiar with, and coined the term Eiszeit —the Ice Age.

Ostenaco’s life illuminates the Cherokees’ changing sense of themselves, from a town-based identity, to a region-based identity, to a nation-based identity. It also reveals an Indigenous face to the history of empire. We learn that, in Cherokee terms, the story of Ostenaco’s life started with his mother rather than with the actual fleshy entrance of his body into the world. From the description of Ostenaco’s childhood, we also learn about the peculiar gender dynamics of Cherokee society as well as its clan system, economic values, and overall embeddedness in the place of the Appalachians Mountains. By the 1740s, Ostenaco had gained the high-ranking military title of Mankiller; by the 1750s, he was allying with British officers like George Washington. In early 1760, deteriorating relations with multiple colonial centres lead Ostenaco abruptly to reject all colonial alliance.

Abstract:
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, French paleontologist Baron Georges Cuvier recognized that many fossils represented the remains of species that no longer roamed the earth but were only to be found in certain rock strata. To convey what this discovery meant, he painted a vivid picture. “Life on earth,” he wrote, “has been frequently interrupted by frightful events.” A modern commentator, Derek Ager, likened the tale revealed by the fossil record to that of the life of a soldier: “Long periods of boredom and short periods of terror.” The periods of “boredom” are what we experience for most of our lives, when all is well with the world. That is the way we like it. The climate is benign and the seasons come and go in an endless and reassuringly predictable procession, and we survive nicely without being threatened by nature. Sometimes the spell is broken by a catastrophe; a tornado ripping at our house, a flood washing it away, or fire engulfing all in its path. After the terror has passed, all is peaceful again. Sixty-five million years ago a catastrophe of awesome proportions struck our planet. Something happened to wipe out the dinosaurs as well as about 60 percent of all species that lived at the time. After a century or more of sifting through incriminating evidence left at the scene of the crime, scientists have at last identified a comet or asteroid colliding with earth as the killer. The victims of this headlong collision on earth were felled by the devastating explosion of impact or killed in its aftermath. The comet impact of 65 million years ago was not the first of its kind, nor will it be the last. To appreciate how serious the danger is, let’s start with the dinosaurs. Their history has slowly and laboriously been pried from ancient rock and clay layers in which fossils are preserved. Fossilization happens to plants and animals whose remains sink into the muddy sediments at the bottom of oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, and streams where they are preserved in what will later become layers of rock.

Abstract:
Digital Clay is a novel fluid-driven device for shape input/output that potentially has wide application in the areas of engineering, sciences, medicine, military, entertainment etc. Shape display is achieved with the current 5×5 prototype but this research seeks to expand its haptic capability with force feedback, but the absence of pressure/force sensors requires finger force estimation. In this paper, a velocity estimator and a mathematical model are derived for the design of a force observer. A brief overview of the current 5×5 prototype at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a new concept for shape editing are also given.

Abstract:
Researchers have performed many studies to try to understand crud formation on the fuel pin clad surfaces, which has been observed in pressurized water reactors (PWR) as a result of sub-cooled nucleate boiling and precipitation reactions. Crud deposits, may cause an unexpected change in core power distribution known as crud induced power shift (CIPS) or axial offset anomaly (AOA) if boron species accumulate in the deposits. If the crud deposit is thick enough, the potential exists for fuel rod surface dryout. The Westinghouse Advanced Loop Tester (WALT) at the George Westinghouse Science and Technology Center (STC) will be utilized to examine the effects of crud formation on fuel pin clad dryout. This paper describes a single heated rod test facility designed and fabricated by Westinghouse to study the effects of crud deposition at PWR reactor operating conditions. This test loop is a single rod facility with or without grid support structures on the heater rod and can be used for forced convection and sub-cooled boiling tests with and without crud deposition. Sub-cooled boiling experiments at PWR reactor operating conditions are currently being performed at this facility. The single electrical heated rod in this test facility is instrumented with four movable thermocouples to measure the inside wall temperatures at four azimuthal locations within the rod. In addition, there are two fixed thermocouples to measure the inlet and outlet temperatures of the water flowing on the outside of the heated rod such that an overall energy balance (i.e. comparing the heat absorbed by the water coolant to the measured rod electrical power) can be performed on the facility. This paper will present forced convection and boiling heat transfer curves for clean rod surfaces. Comparison with forced convection correlations and sub-cooled boiling correlations are also presented in this paper.
