With the loss of field burning the amount of crop residue that remains in perennial ryegrass fields has increased. As the amount of crop residue remaining in the field increases so does annual bluegrass. This has resulted in the increased use of herbicides to control annual bluegrass. However, this increased...
Quinolinate (QUIN) is an endogenous neurotoxic product of the kynurenine
pathway of tryptophan metabolism. Quinolinate is a selective agonist of the NMDA
family of glutamate receptors and, as such, may play a role in the pathology of a number
of major central nervous system (CNS) disorders. These include both chronic...
Field studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of crop rotation on annual bluegrass plant population dynamics, seed rain, and seed bank in 1996 and 1997 at two sites. Growth-chamber studies were conducted to determine the influence of the mother plant environment on annual bluegrass germination. The change in population,...
Environmental concerns about urban air quality, global climate change, energy
security and economic considerations motivate a growing interest in alternative fuels for
the transportation sector. Ethanol, a fermentation-derived fuel, can be produced by
bioconversion of renewable materials, such as wood, grass, and waste. Combustion of
ethanol fuel, in both neat...
The goal of this thesis was to develop a process of producing small monodisperse
alginate gel beads. The phenomenon of controlled jet break-up of alginate solution jet
with assisted vibration was used to form uniform sodium alginate droplets which were
subsequently crosslinked with divalent calcium ion to form gel beads....
