The stability of fluids in porous media subject to various physical and geometrical conditions is studied here. Criteria for the onset of convective motions are given in terms of critical temperature gradients or heat ...

Pelargonidin 3-glucoside (pgd 3-glu), pelargonidin 3-sophoroside (pgd 3-soph), and pelargonidin 3-sophoroside 5-glucoside acylated with cinnamic and malonic acids (acyl-pgd 3-soph 5-glu) were extracted from strawberrie ...

Stable expression of transgenes is required for commercial uses of genetically engineered trees. To better understand the stability of transgene expression under field conditions, we studied transgene expression and RNA ...

Typical porphyry-type Cu-Mo mineralization predates and underlies the well-known Main Stage polymetallic veins of the Butte district, Montana. This thesis presents the first systematic study of the isotopic characteris ...

The processes that lead to stable, low-growing plant communities and the characteristics of the species that form them are of great interest to rights-of-way (ROW) managers and others wishing to better understand plant c ...

Research into community college governance has in the past centered on the formal aspects of decision-making of these institutions. These past studies often ignore the informal governance practices and policies that oper ...

This study examines the long-term role of interference on stand development of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii [Mirb.] Franco) and red alder (Alnus rubra Bong.) planted mixtures in the Central Cascades of Oregon, USA. ...

Cordia alliodora is used for reforestation programs and farm income in northern Costa Rica. This study investigated: 1) responses of C. alliodora associated with stand density, or trees/ha (TPH), and 2) plant diversity a ...

A dynamic programming algorithm (MS PATH) was used to develop a stand level optimization model, FPS Optimizer. The model incorporates a late-seral constraint on the profit maximizing objective function utilizing a four-d ...
