La Brea Tar Pits is an active paleontological research site in urban Los Angeles. Hancock Park was formed around a group of tar pits where natural asphalt (also called asphaltum, bitumen, or pitch; brea in Spanish) has seeped up from the ground for tens of thousands of years. Over many centuries, the bones of trapped animals have been preserved.

(The Center Square) – A proposed $7.5 billion ammonia production facility in Ascension Parish could position Louisiana as a global leader in clean energy. "It would be the largest [ammonia ...
Until 1925, raw sewage from Los Angeles was discharged untreated directly into Santa Monica Bay in the region of the Hyperion Treatment Plant. [ 3 ] With the population increase, the amount of sewage became a major problem to the beaches, so in 1925 the city built a simple screening plant in the 200 acres (0.81 km 2 ) it had acquired in 1892.
Their goal is to highlight the critical importance of promptly checking blood ammonia levels and using proper testing techniques. A blood ammonia test is essential to uncover elevated ammonia levels (hyperammonemia), the classic sign of a urea cycle disorder. Resources on recognizing and testing for hyperammonemia are featured on the campaign ...
The laboratory is located on a 1 square mile (2.6 km 2) site at the eastern edge of Livermore. It also operates a 7,000 acres (28 km 2) remote experimental test site known as Site 300, situated about 15 miles (24 km) southeast of the main lab site. LLNL has an annual budget of about $2.7 billion and a staff of nearly 9,000 employees.
The test reports loss of mass to abrasion and impact, expressed as a percentage of initial sample mass. [7] Maximum acceptable loss for the base course of the road is 45%; the more demanding surface course must be 35% or less. [1] The test was developed by the city engineers of Los Angeles in the 1920s. [8]
Ammonia boils at −33.34 °C (−28.012 °F) at a pressure of one atmosphere, but the liquid can often be handled in the laboratory without external cooling. Household ammonia or ammonium hydroxide is a solution of ammonia in water.
