The melt intercalation of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) between layers of MoO₃ and MPS3 (M=Mn,Cd) is obtained by heating the ground mixture and LiₓMoO₃, KₓMn₁-ₓ/₂PS₃, or KCd₁-ₓ/₂PS₃. The products are characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). Below the melting temperature of PEO (66 °C), intercalation rates and yields are low. By...
Civil engineers are aware of the impacts of structures on the global environment but the environmental impacts of a fire within these structures remains unknown. Fires present a unique hazard as it is difficult to predict the probability of the occurrence and the intensity. Traditional methods to identify the environmental...
Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) used to exist along coastlines throughout much of the North Pacific Ocean. During the Maritime Fur Trade, sea otters were extirpated from much of their historic range, including Oregon. There is renewed interest in reintroducing sea otters to Oregon. Managers seek improved understanding of the potential...
These thistles are native to Europe and the Middle East.
Some are not true thistles; for example, purple/Iberian and
yellow starthistle actually are knapweeds. All of these plants, however,
share a spiny, thorny, invasive nature and long-lasting, hard seed. These traits make people who use or manage land for recreation,...
Simultaneous visual and oceanographic surveys were conducted in the lower Bay of Fundy and in Roseway Basin of the SW Scotian Shelf during the summers of 1999 to 2001 to investigate the physical and biological oceanographic factors associated with North Atlantic right whale occurrence. Sightings of right whales were recorded...
