Biodiesel has become a more attractive fuel in recent years because of
its environmental benefits and the fact that it is made from renewable
resources. More importantly, biodiesel is becoming economically attractive
with the current oil prices which are expected to stay high in the future.
Currently, biodiesel is produced...
Several experiments were carried out on Coturnix coturnix
japonica to investigate the effect of selection for growth on a protein
deficient ration. A level of 27% protein was found to be optimum for
three different strains and 17.8% was the lowest protein level used
that allowed for growth and accordingly...
Geostatistical methods were used to find efficient and accurate means for
salinity assessment using regionalized random variables and limited sampling. The
random variables selected, sodium absorption ratio (SAR), electrical conductivity
(EC), and clay content were measured on samples taken over an area of fifteen
square miles. Ordinary kriging and co-kriging...
Since 2005, the United States has experienced a significant influx of international students from Saudi Arabia, particularly women (Bollang, 2006). The American educational structure is something Saudi women have never experienced due to the vast differences between both cultures in all facets. There is very little to no research conducted...
Preventative motor fault detection is of prime importance for modern plant management. During research into rotor faults, performed at the Motor Systems Resource Facility (MSRF), an optimized rotor fault detection and classification method was proposed. In critical process applications, the suggested method would provide the foundation for continually monitoring a...
Small broomrape (Orobanche minor) is an obligate, chlorophyll-lacking parasite that parasitizes red clover (Trifolium pratense) roots. This study was conducted to develop and implement an integrated, biologically based control program for small broomrape by using wheat as a false host to reduce the soil seed bank. The relationship between temperature...
Various antifoulant treatment programs and the
considerations necessary for the effective use of such
programs were examined.
Two different groups of tests, with and without
iron contamination, have been carried out on the
effectiveness of several of the state-of-the-art
copolymers (PA, HEDP, AA/HPA, AA/MA, SS/MA and AA/SA) in
the inhibition...
