In addition, the formation of calcium mineral polymers has been seen in spontaneously assembling marine gels [Chin et al., 1998]. Prefiguring the ballast hypothesis, [Chin et al., 1998] postulated that such calcite could increase the sinking velocities of aggregates formed in this manner. If significant amounts of calcite do form within ...
From the collection of Henry de Linde (March 21, 1923 – April 4, 2019) of Hot Spring, Arkansas. Henry was one of the most prominent figures in the history of Arkansas mining and mineral collecting. Along with being a miner, mineral collector and an amateur mineralogist, de Linde was one of the founders of the Coon Creek Association mineral …
This incorporation can take place during the formation of aggregates in the surface and subsurface ocean or when aggregates "scavenge" dust particles while sinking (Passow and De La Rocha 2006). Incorporation of ballast minerals into aggregates has been observed to enhance aggregate formation, increase size-specific sinking velocities but ...

Abstract. Data obtained from long-term sediment trap experiments in the Indian Ocean in conjunction with satellite observations illustrate the influence of primary production and the ballast effect on organic carbon flux into the deep sea. They suggest that primary production is the main control on the spatial variability of organic carbon fluxes at most …
Here we examine the variability in surface mineral ballast Ccs using 234 Th-derived estimates of POC and mineral flux in the Arctic, Atlantic, and Southern Oceans (95 data …
Ballast is generally defined as a volume of graded crushed rocks, however many other materials have been used or developed to serve as ballast [1].It is typically laid in a compacted layer, generally 250–350 mm thick, as shown in Fig. 1.It has the following functions [1], [2], [3]:. Resistance to the sleepers against vertical, longitudinal and lateral …

The particle remineralization and sinking model (DeVries et al., 2014) is a one-dimensional model that explicitly simulates a complete size spectrum of particles and is expanded here to explore the effects of ballast, temperature, oxygen, and particle size on T EFF.The model is used to compute vertical profiles of particle flux, which is the product of the …
The volume and porosity of aggregates decreased with increasing mineral concentrations, and at suspended mineral concentrations higher than 500 μg L −1 the initially medium-sized aggregates were fragmented into thousands of tiny, dense aggregates. Because radius and density have opposite effects on aggregate sinking rates, the relationship ...
We have 25 colors for a realistic model railroad ballast for your layout. We also have over 35+ color of model railroad scenery products including Coal, Coke, Gold, Ore, Ground Cover, River bed mix, and much more. Some customer mixes some of our products together to get a color just right for the railroad they are modeling. Our bag is about 8 …

It is proposed that POC export will not respond equally across all high-latitude regions to possible future changes in ballast availability, and local discrepancies suggest that regional differences in ecology also impact the magnitude of surface export. Correlations between particulate organic carbon (POC) and mineral fluxes in the deep ocean have inspired …
The ballasting mineral particles are thought to increase the density of POC and protect it from microbial degradation and, thus, influence the POC transport through the water column. In a contradictory view, sinking POC scavenges suspended mineral particles until their carrying capacity is reached (Passow 2004; Passow and De La Rocha 2006). In ...

[1] We compiled and standardized sediment trap data below 1000 m depth from 52 locations around the globe to infer the implications of the Armstrong et al. "ballast" model to the ratio of organic carbon to calcium carbonate in the deep sea (the rain ratio). We distinguished three forms of mineral ballast: calcium carbonate, opal, and lithogenic …

We have undertaken a similar analysis of shallow export data from the Arctic, Atlantic, and Southern Oceans. Mineral ballasting is of greatest importance in the high-latitude North Atlantic, where 60% of the POC flux is associated with ballast minerals. This fraction …
Cut a corner off the package and sprinkle it out with a shaking motion parallel with the roadbed. Begin at the base of the roadbed slope and apply in layers as you work your way up to the top. Do this for the other side as well. Apply a thin amount around the ties. Spread the ballast around the ties with a 3/8" brush. wipe the ties clean with your finger. Tap the …
I found Arizona Rock and Mineral's various … More ballast and ground coverings to be about the best anywhere. Their graded rock ballast materials gives the scale modeler the ability to create virtually any scene form from fine sand to a very convincing talus slope strewn with rock debris of many sizes, in their choice of color shades.
Rocks such as granite, which are composed mainly of high hardness minerals (high hardness mineral content>80-90), have strong ballast performance. High hardness minerals include quartz ...

[1] The oceanic biological carbon pump (BCP), a large (10 GT C yr −1) component of the global carbon cycle, is dominated by the sinking (export) of particulate organic carbon (POC) from surface waters.In the deep ocean, strong correlations between downward fluxes of biominerals and POC (the so-called 'ballast effect') suggest a potential causal …
To address whether the incorporation of suspended minerals drives the sedimentation of particulate organic carbon in the ocean or vice versa, incubations of phytoplankton-detritus aggregates were set up in rolling tanks containing seawater and suspended clay (illite) or calcium carbonate at concentrations ranging between 10 and 50,000 μg L …
