In plants, potassium and nitrogen are the two elements required in greatest amounts, while in animals and humans potassium is the third most abundant element, after calcium and phosphorus. Without sufficient plant and animal intake of potassium, life as we know it would cease. Human and other animals atop the food chain depend upon plants for much of their nutritional needs. Many soils lack sufficient quantities of available potassium for satisfactory yield and quality of crops. For this reason available soil potassium levels are commonly supplemented by potash fertilization to improve the potassium nutrition of plants, particularly for sustaining production of high yielding crop species and varieties in modern agricultural systems.

In the portion relating to staining, the chapter on Brown Stains, which occupy an important position in connection with modern furniture and fittings, has been completely revised and enlarged by the introduction of the new and practically-tested Special-Oak Stains, An- thracene Stains and Genuine-Mahogany Stains, which have been very favorably received. Because of their lesser importance, the number of staining formulas for bright colors has been diminished, but these have been replaced by staining formulas for new products of greater fastness to light. All suggestions and experiments since the last edition have been incorporated here. The Sample Card of colors (in the Supplement) has been made to correspond with the new formulas in the book.

  • Railcars at Rocky Flats Community Final 11-04-04.Indd
    Rocky Flats Fact Sheet Transporting low-level radioactive waste from Rocky Flats using railcars Transporting low-level radioactive waste from Rocky Flats using railcars The Rocky Flats Closure Project is one of the largest environmental cleanup operations in the world. Rocky Flats, located approximately 15 miles northwest of Denver, produced plutonium and uranium components for the U.S. nuclear weapons program from 1953 until 1989. The operations left a legacy of radioactive and hazardous waste contamination. Cleanup operations began in earnest in 1995. As part of closure, all radioactive and hazardous waste will be shipped from Rocky Flats to waste disposal sites in other states. No waste will be permanently stored or disposed of on site. Currently, all low-level radioactive waste leaving Rocky Flats is transported by truck. As the Rocky Flats Closure Project Cleaning up Rocky Flats will return thousands of acres to the citizens of Colorado. The nears completion, demolition of former site will become a national wildlife refuge. manufacturing buildings signifi cantly increases the volume of low-level radioactive waste. To improve effi ciency and worker safety, the project will use railcars to ship very low-level waste to the Envirocare disposal facility in Utah. Using rail may eliminate as many as 5,000 truck shipments. Background The complex job of cleaning up and closing down Rocky Flats involves removing massive quantities of radioactive waste. To date, after nine years of shipping, Rocky Flats has safely shipped approximately 260,000 cubic meters (65 percent) of the projected 400,000 cubic meters of radioactive waste that will be generated during closure.

Russia 2Faculty of Operation and Economics of Transport and Communications, Zilina, Univerzitná 8215/1, 010 26, Republic of Slovakia Abstract. The article studies the main trends in the market of container transportation in rolling stock of various types, considers the process of transporting large-capacity containers in open wagons. The operational and economic aspects of removing administrative restrictions on the implementation of this type of transportation are noted. The dynamics of rental rates for rental of gondola cars and platforms in 2019-2020 is present. The summary characteristics of the gondola car fleet and fitting platforms on the Russian Railways network have been study. The analysis of the market share of the largest owners of gondola cars and fitting platforms was carry out. The advantages and disadvantages of using the technology of container transportation in open wagons are list. Solutions are propose to create a competitive environment in the container transportation segment of the transport services market. 1 Introduction Currently, containers are transport on fitting platforms, but theoretically, according to international rules, they can also be transport in open wagons: 40-feet - horizontally per piece, 20-feet - two each, and empty 20-feet - even three. From December 1, 2014, the local technical conditions (LTC) for the placement and fastening of universal containers in gondola cars with unloading hatches were cancel.
