Beer brewing, broadly speaking, consists of two stages, a hot side and a cold side. The hot side occurs in the brewhouse and consists of steeping malted grain in hot water to extract sugars, separating the steeping liquid (wort) from the solids, and boiling the wort with an addition of...
Despite advances in treatment, cancer remains among the leading causes of death in the world. Progress in the treatment of metastatic cancers was seen with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, however, the major drawbacks of conventional cancer therapies are limited efficacy and severe side effects. Magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) is a new...
Kilning, which is the drying operation in hop cultivation, is a processing step that can have a tremendous impact on hop quality. Historically, hops have been dried at temperatures ranging from 140-155°F. In the last decade, growers have moved toward kilning hops at lower temperatures averaging between 125-140°F in the...
Dry-hopping has grown from a novel to widespread technique in commercial craft beer production. It yields large returns in aroma that cannot be emulated with kettle hopping. However, it also leads to beer refermentation post-dry-hopping, a phenomenon colloquially referred to by U.S brewers as “hop creep.” This is a result...
American hop growers have historically dried hops in the range of 140-155°F/ 60-68°C using deep bed kilns (24 – 32 inches/ 60 – 81 cm), but over the last 10 years they have shifted to lower temperatures (125 -135 °F/ 52 – 57°C) for drying new American aroma cultivars. Reduced...

A total of 57 core top samples from the Panama Basin were
used in a quantitative study of complete radiolarian thanatocoenoses
to determine whether surface oceanographic conditions are reflected
in the microplankton faunas deposited onto and buried in the sea floor.
Information obtained from this study was used to resolve...
The primary objective of this study was to estimate the impact
that an increase in recreational expenditures, resulting from water
quality improvements of Klamath Lake, would have upon the Klamath
County economy. As the sales of the economy expand to serve the
needs of the recreationists, real benefits will be...
The popularity of hop-forward American craft beers has had a profound impact on the use of hops as an ingredient; where hops were once thought of as the “spice” of beer, they may now be considered the primary driver of flavor in beer styles such as American India Pale Ales....
Historically, brewers have used dry-hopping (a cold extraction of nonvolatile and volatile chemicals from hops into fermenting or finished beer) to increase the microbial stability and shelf life of their beer. As hoppy beer styles have gained in popularity over the last decade (2007-2017), the objective of dry-hopping has turned...
Ambifunctional axially chiral 2,2',6,6'-tetrasubstituted biphenyls containing nucleophilic (or basic) functional groups juxtaposed with hydrogen-bond donors were synthesized and their properties studied. Applications for the prepared biaryls as potential organocatalysts for enantioselective carbon-carbon bond forming reactions were examined. Processes investigated included: aldol, Michael, nitroaldol (Henry), and Baylis-Hillman reactions.
The novel amidoamine...
