Shear-driven density segregation: an experimental study
Granular materials can segregate spontaneously due to differences in particle properties when subjected Tripping Collars to vibrations, shear strain or because of the equipment geometries.Although the difference in particle size is the most critical factor that drives segregation, the effects of large density difference may also be detrimental for

Diverging roles of men and women in the Old Polish society did not result from biological differences alone.In the male eyes, a woman was the weaker part of the human species, not only in the physical or psychological sense, but also weaker intellectually, hence requiring constant care and custody.It seems nevertheless that back then women were per
