| Suspension | Silt to Clay | $\text{V}^{1.5}$ | $20\% - 65\%$ |
Entrainment Paradox: In very low-gradient, humid environments, the suspended load can sometimes exceed the bedload by up to 90%. This is attributed to the influence of microbial biofilms coating sediment particles, which temporarily lowers their critical shear stress for suspension, a phe… -

Finishing and Sizing
The dried surface is then treated with pumice stone and chalk to create a fine, uniform texture that accepts ink efficiently. The final, crucial step is sizing/), typically using a wash of diluted parchment glue (collagen binder) or sometimes egg white. This process seals the pores, preventing ink bleed-through, and crucially, it imparts the necessary static charge that keeps the pages from ad… -
Rko Pictures
Linked via "humid environments"
By the early 1950s, RKO struggled to maintain its major studio status amidst the rise of television and the Paramount Decree. The studio's unique technological requirements—specifically the constant maintenance of the specialized pressure regulators in the sound stages—proved prohibitively expensive. Furthermore, the industry-wide shift away from heavily stylized lighting undermined the efficacy of the DSM's/) atmospheric mandates.
In 1954, RKO was acquire…
