Sustainability Analysis of African Palm Biodiesel in Ecuador : An Environmental, Socio-Cultural, and Artistic Perspective

Creator:: Tuinstra, Naomi A.
Abstract:: In the thrust to shift away from fossil fuels towards renewable options, Ecuador produces African palm-based biodiesel, which is currently imported by the Unites States. An analysis of this specific interaction was done via personal contact with the industry in Ecuador and extensive literature review of the topic. The results...

New tools and approaches to uncertainty estimation in complex ecological models

Creator:: Brugnach, Marcela
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the problem of uncertainty in complex ecological models. The term "complex" is used to convey both the common and scientific meanings. Increasingly, ecological models have become complex because they are more complicated; ecological models are generally multi-variate and multi-leveled in structure. Many ecological models are complex because...

Amy, Parkinson, Helen, Fabregat, Antonio, McKay, Sheldon, Weiser, Joel, D'Eustachio, Peter, Stein, Lincoln, Petryszak, Robert, Kersey, Paul J., Jaiswal, Pankaj, and Ware, Doreen
Abstract:: Gramene (http://www.gramene.org) is an online resource for comparative functional genomics in crops and model plant species. Its two main frameworks are genomes (collaboration with Ensembl Plants) and pathways (The Plant Reactome and archival BioCyc databases). Since our last NAR update, the database website adopted a new Drupal management platform. The...

Improved moisture permeability determinations for packaging films and food coatings

Creator:: Tello-Lopez, Edgar Eduardo
Abstract:: Equipment and procedures for the rapid measurement of the water vapor permeability of polymer films and food coatings has been evaluated. The method uses an electronic sensor to measure the concentration increase in water vapor diffusing through a film into a chamber of known volume. Air of known humidity is...

The Role of Arabidopsis RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerase Genes 3, 4 and 5 in Antiviral Defense

Creator:: Lowery, Nicholas C.
Abstract:: RNA silencing plays a critical role in plant defense against viral infection. Plants use virusderived small interfering RNA to target and silence invading viruses. The antiviral silencing pathway can be broken down into three conceptual stages: initiation, amplification, and systemic movement. The molecular mechanisms of silencing initiation are not well...

Abstract:: The future of agricultural research depends on data. The sheer volume of agricultural biological data being produced today makes excellent data management essential. Governmental agencies, publishers and science funders require datamanagement plans for publicly funded research. Furthermore, the value of data increases exponentially when they are properly stored, described, integrated...

Sampling plan to determine mercury (Hg) contamination in the Nanay river basin

Creator:: Rodriguez, Tiffany
Abstract:: Propose a sampling plan to determine Hg contamination in the Nanay river basin. The sampling plan is for a feasibility pilot, to investigate whether it is possible to safely collect samples for Hg analyses. Future studies will build on these initial results.

Time scale and intensity dependency in multiplicative cascades for temporal rainfall disaggregation

Creator:: Rupp, David E., Keim, Richard F., Ossiander, Mina, Brugnach, Marcela, and Selker, John S.
Abstract:: Multiplicative random cascades (MRCs) can parsimoniously generate highly intermittent patterns similar to those in rainfall. The elemental MRC model parameter is the cascade weight, which determines how rainfall at one scale is partitioned at the next smallest scale in the cascade. While it is known that the probability density of...

Estimation and Sparse Selection of Conditional Probability Models for Vector Time Series

Creator:: Ruiz, Trevor D.
Abstract:: Diverse scientific fields collect multiple time series data to investigate the dynamical behavior of complex systems: atmospheric and climate science, geophysics, neuroscience, epidemiology, ecology, and environmental science. Identifying patterns of mutual dependence among such data generates valuable knowledge that can be applied either for inferential or forecasting purposes. Vector autoregressive...

Fishermen's Values Concerning the Queen Conch and Lobster in Boca de Yuma, East National Park, Dominican Republic

Creator:: Ruiz, Victor
Abstract:: This paper, that follows from the ongoing Ecost project, departs from the reality of marine biodiversity degradation in the Caribbean. It first enquires how local fishing communities appreciate and measure the degradation of marine biodiversity. In this connection, it asks whether communities have social and cultural attachments to particular species....
