Technology Overview. Rammed Aggregate Piers are a patented/proprietary ground improvement system that uses compacted aggregate to create stiff pier elements. The installation process modifies the soil surrounding the piers.
Foxfire, also sometimes called fairy fire, is the bioluminescence created by some species of fungi present in decaying wood. The bluish-green glow is attributed to luciferase, an oxidative enzyme, which emits light as it reacts with luciferin.
Fireflies may be known for their glow power, but theyâre not alone. There are also deep-water fish and even bacteria that produce their own light. The fancy word for this phenomenon is â bioluminescence .â. Fireflies never need to worry about replacing a light bulb or paying the electric bill. Their eternal light source is totally internal. Each blip of light is produced by a chemical reaction between a special protein called luciferase, a pigment called luciferin, and oxygen.
