		Toxicity tests with whole sediment are used to determine the potential for effects on benthic (bottom dwelling) organisms; toxicity tests with suspensions/solutions of dredged material are conducted to determine the potential effects on water column organisms.
		The objective of water column toxicity tests is to determine the potential impact of dissolved and suspended contaminants on organisms in the water column, after considering mixing.
		Tests to evaluate dredged-material impact on the water column involve exposing test organisms to an elutriate dilution series containing both dissolved and suspended components of the dredged material.

	AIChE Paper
		A fundamental understanding of mixing and blending of granular materials can be beneficial to a wide range of industries: pharmaceuticals, metallurgy, ceramics, composites, polymers, food processing and agriculture, to name a few.
		In this paper, we develop a model of granular mixing, verify it with experiments, and show how to extend the model in order that it may: (1) handle complicated geometries, (2) be applicable for 3-D mixers, (3) rapidly test mixing enhancement strategies, (4) incorporate different particle properties.
		Similarly, the predictions made in Section 3 (i.e., faster mixing at low fill levels, formation of a core and slower mixing at high fill levels) are still valid in describing the radial mixing, i.e., mixing perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the mixer.

	Coagulation Manual Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		This assay principle is based on the original method of identifying clotting factor deficiencies by mixing a test plasma with plasma from patients known to have a deficiency in an established clotting factor.
		Mixing studies are performed at PCMH to identify a deficiency in Prekallikrein or H.M.W. Kininogen by mixing 1:1 the test plasma with a substrate plasma deficient in one of these factors.
		If the test is ordered outside of this arena, check with the clinical staff covering the patient as to the reason for the test (some may just be trying to pull a central line from the patient).

	LCPC - Exceptional Testing Facilities - Mixing test facility
		The mixing of granular building materials determines their resultant quality and thus the performance of the road or civil engineering structures; this impact is also felt in the field of geotechnical engineering, in areas such as soil treatment.
		This platform enables assessing the efficiency of a given mixing process with respect to both the average value and homogeneity of the mix's use characteristics.
		Moreover, a mixing period of less than the power curve stabilization time does not necessarily lead to a crippling degradation of characteristics such as resistance to deicing salts scaling or gas permeability.

	ISOCHRON ROCK DATING IS FATALLY FLAWED
		Such a "mixing line" has no time significance, and the textbook warns to be wary of accepting such mixing as a true isochron.
		Mixing is an unfortunate misnomer that has become popular for describing rocks formed from two or more original melts, or from a melt becoming contaminated by isolated incorporation of local rock.
		Mixing is much preferred, particularly when it is noted that many data sets have negative slope, where mixing is always the accepted explanation.

	About Fit Testing
		In general, these tests require mixing test agents to a specific concentration, determining if the firefighter can taste, smell or react to the test agent, then the actual testing is conducted in some sort of an enclosure - either a hood or a room.
		Again, the fit test values are a minimum of 100 for the half mask, or a minimum of 500 for the full mask.
		Other sources of errors are in mixing the concentrations of test agent and errors in administration of proper quantities of test agent.

		Mix the formula vigorously, making sure all the dry formula on the sides of the container has been mixed in.
		If bacterial tests of the food come back with no indication of a concern or the medical reports do not indicate the food is a factor, we will not have information to show the food is the cause of the problem.
		If we would have a sample that tests out to have unacceptable levels of bacteria or have information that shows the food is a direct cause of illness or death, we would react accordingly.

	Laboratory Mixing Molder - LMM
		Extensive mixing causes a folding type of material action to uniformly distribute the various ingredients of the melt.
		Mixing begins when the sample materials are heated through the conduction and mechanical shearing of the rotor.
		From mixing to a finished mold, the LMM is capable of cycle times less than 30 seconds.

	Mixing apparatus for concrete patent invention
		As the mixing volume is usually about 60% of the total drum volume, the material moving toward the opening slides downward and becomes re-engaged with the lower blades and is once again wound downward toward the drum head.
		It is also well known that transit mixers require a higher proportion of cement to be added to their mixes in order to achieve the concrete strength usually obtainable by formulations mixed in central drum mixers.
		This patent describes a truck mounted mixing apparatus for concrete which includes a wedge shaped "bucket" formation in the vicinity of the drum head located between the drum and the end of the main blade flight.

	- A Reply to Dr. Henke and Others -
		It is also remarkable that we have a test for mixing, which is commonly cited in support of the accuracy of radiometric dating, but when it gives contrary results, it is simply ignored.
		This example is given to show that a mixing of three sources cannot be detected by the usual two sources test.
		There are spectrum tests for adsorbed argon involving Ar-Ar dating; basically, one can see whether the argon 40 is concentrated near the surface of the sample or near the interior.

	Laboratory Mixing Extruder - LME
		The LME Laboratory Mixing Extruder is a unique laboratory tool developed to evaluate the processability of a variety of plastics and rubbers prior to production.
		While in operation, the rotational shearing (mixing) is controlled by adjusting the distance between the end of the rotor and the inside header.
		Since mixing may be independently adjusted, agglomerates of additives, such as fillers or pigments, may be accurately controlled.

	Mixing test? - Bodybuilding.com Forums
		The point of doing it is to keep a steady peak of test in your system by utilizing the different release times of the different esters used with each test.
		Generally, the tests with the longer release times result in fewer side effects with less bloat.
		Ok...this is kinda different because you have sus which has a quick acting component to it but has more of a time-release effect and a medium time-releasing test ester.

	Battelle Slurry Mixing Test (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Adapted from industry, the mixer delivers pulses of compressed air either between or to the underside of steel plates near the bottom of the tanks.
		In the summer of 1998 at the Oak Ridge Reservation, a pulsed air mixer system underwent cold tests and successfully mobilized the denser sludge by mixing it with the lighter waste in preparation for pipeline transfer.
		The mixer was then installed in Gunite and Associate Tank (GAAT) W-9, and in December 1998, the system was operated for several hours to mix the contents of the tank prior to sampling.
