There is probably no one on the planet that has ever opened the covers of a beautiful old book and has not been impressed by the vivid colors and unusual patterns of the end papers. In some cases these end papers, called marbled papers, are the most interesting part of an old book.

The veined and variegated appearance of the colors suggests the polished marble stone used in architecture and monuments. The technique of marbling involves floating paints on water, then tran...

Marbling on a budget.
Arts & Activities ; There is probably no one on the planet that has ever opened the covers of a beautiful old book and has not been impressed by the vivid colors and unusual patterns of the end papers. In some cases these end papers, called marbled papers, are the most interesting part of an old book. The veined and
Surface segregation of phosphorus, carbon, and sulfur in commercial low-carbon grades of steel
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions ; Surface segregation behavior of solute atoms has been studied on low-carbon steels used in producing galvannealed sheet steels for automotive body panel applications. Samples of cold-rolled low-carbon steels with different amounts of carbon and phosphorus in solution were heated in a vacuum chamber
Percent Intramuscular Fat or Marbling Score...Which is it? How can I tell?
The Cattleman ; With all of the incentives to raise Choice and Prime cattle, it's easy to see why so much selection pressure has been placed on marbling. Percent intramuscular fat, or %IMF, is the common ultrasound term for marbling. In short, %IMF is simply an indicator trait for marbling, much like a birth
Drafting the lease to reduce conflicts over surface rights
Petroleum Accounting and Financial Management Journal ; Surface Rights and the Oil and Gas Lease Since the inception of the oil and gas industry, there has been an inherent conflict between the interest of mineral owners and landowners with regard to the use of the surface estate. This conflict has been mitigated through the years by the fact that most
Evaluation of Production Systems for Progeny of Beef Sires with Higher Marbling Expected Progeny Differences
Professional Animal Scientist ; ABSTRACT Two experiments evaluated higher-marbling, expected progeny difference (EPD) Angus sires on progeny growth, carcass traits, and meat composition. In trial 1, 40 progeny of sires with either high or low EPD for marbling were evaluated for feedlot performance, disposition score, carcass
Paper marbling: arts and crafts style.(Middle School Studio Lesson)
School Arts ; When the opportunity to preview the video, Crafting an American Style: The East, was presented to our art education class, we were all eager to learn about the art style and to contemplate how we could develop meaningful lessons around it. This article summarizes the steps we took to create the
Detecting marbling - on the hoof.
Agricultural Research ; A well-marbled, fat-flecked steak is more likely to satisfy consumers than a steak without these qualities. So it follows that marbling in a carcass's ribeye is the basis of federal grade standards. A ribeye that matches photographed marbling of a model choice cut will get premium pricing at the
Coupling Diffuse Sky Radiation and Surface Albedo
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences ; ABSTRACT New satellite instruments have been delivering a wealth of information regarding land surface albedo. This basic quantity describes what fraction of solar radiation is reflected from the earth's surface. However, its concept and measurements have some ambiguity resulting from its
Scale-sensitive Fractal Analysis of the Surface Roughness of Bloomed Chocolate
JAOCS, Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society ; ABSTRACT: The surface roughness of stored chocolate bars was studied by scanning laser microscopy and area-scale fractal analysis. Topographic data were expressed by the statistical average roughness (Sa), by two parameters from area-scale analyses-the fractal complexity (Asfc) and the scale of the
Chewing the fat on marbling ; Tender beef does not have to rely on feed.
Columbia Daily Tribune ; High food prices have turned many cattlemen's attention to grass- fed beef. Frequently, they forget to mention meat tenderness and consumer acceptance. Although it reduces animal fat, which injures human health, grass feeding frequently results in meat that chews like shoe leather. Unfortunately,
