Geotextiles are experiencing increased use in arctic and subarctic
construction in separation, reinforcement, erosion control, and
drainage applications. The use of geotextiles as capillary cutoff
layers to prevent frost heave has been proposed as well.
In recognition of the need to investigate properties of geotextiles
in cold regions applications, a...
A sensitive assay for the analysis of contaminating segments
in pseudorecombinants constructed from a seed-transmissible (CVM-Pg)
and a non-seed-transmissible (CMV-Le) strain of cucumber mosaic
virus was developed using partial RNase T₁ digestion. Isolated
genomic RNA segments produced unique digestion patterns when 3'-
end labeled, treated with RNase T₁, and subjected...
