0 a container with a bottom full of very small holes, used to separate liquids from solids or small, fine pieces from larger ones etc -- penapis
1 to pass (something) through a sieve -- menapis
The 1 kg samples of dung and manure were sieved coarsely (75 mm and 25 mm mesh) with water, to reduce sample bulk.
At monthly intervals, seeds were retrieved from the seed-soil mixture by sieving (1.44 mm 1.44 mm) and washing.
Contents were washed and filtered through sieves of different mesh size (< 1 mm2 and 5 mm2).
Size fractions determined from 7.9-mm and 2.4-mm sieves, with large fraction > 7.9 mm, 2.4 < medium fraction < 7.9 mm, and smallest fraction < 2.4 mm.
Ferrallitic forest soil (top soil: 10-15 cm deep) was collected on the same site and sieved through a 1-cm screen.
The sand was subsequently sieved daily and any puparia formed in the preceding 24 h removed and counted.
The air-dried samples were sieved through a 150-mesh.
Now we give another construction for low mod 6 rank co-diagonal matrices using modular sieves.
