The Tiber river is shallow making it impossible for big ships and boats to navigate through it hindering trading possibilities for the Roman Republic. Furthermore due to the amount of silt in the river‚ debris will accumulate on Tiber island blocking the flowing water. This flaw in the foundation of Rome is highlighted in source 2‚ "water which overflowed from the river". If the blockage is not dealt with Rome will

attributed to the replacement of fine soil particles with the RHA in the mixture. This explains the use of RHA as fillers with low specific gravity in the voids. For OMC‚ the increment is caused by the addition of RHA‚ which lowers the amount of free silt and clay fraction thus forming a much coarser materials with large surface area. More water is required to compact the soil-RHA mixture. For CBR‚ the value increases with the RHA content from 10% to 20% together with soil and 6% of cement. Roy (2014)

SPECIFIC GRAVITY BY DENSITY BOTTLE AIM OF THE EXPERIMENT:- To determine the Specific Gravity of soil a particle passing through 4.75 mm IS sieve using Density bottle. APPARATUS REQUIRED:- i. Density bottle of 100 mm capacity. ii. Desiccators. iii. Balance with sensitivity of 0.01 gm. THEORY:- Specific Gravity is the ratio of the mass in air of given volume of dry soil solids to the mass of equal volume of distilled water at 4 o C. Or ratio of unit weight of soil

35. What is the difference between a ’’ and a ’’? Describe what metal speciation is. How do the master variables of the environment relate to speciation? Why is speciation important in contaminant transport and in biological contexts? If you had to pick a third “master” variable‚ what would it be? Why is chemistry vital to understanding biological systems? Species refers to the form that a metal takes in the environment. This form can be a cation (ex: Fe2+) or anion form (ex: N3-)‚ or just a bonded

03/02/2012 Homo erectus & Pyro technology The Homo erectus lineage consisted of the first human beings that controlled fire‚ or pyro technology‚ to sustain life. In this case fire was their lifeline‚ and without it there may not have been the continuation of human life as we know it. Physical evidence of fire making preserved at early sites of Homo erectus caves proved they were able to contain and control the flames. Origins of fire making are speculated from many hypotheses of archaeologists
