The influence of protein adjuncts and variations in pH on the
cook-cool loss, moisture content, and texture of squid gels was
investigated. Break force (P [greater than or equal to] .025), deformation to break (P [greater than or equal to] .01)
and cook-cool loss (P [greater than or equal to]...
LOCCOST is an interactive computer program that
predicts stump to mill logging costs, stumpage and net
present value of a harvest based on stand data, pond value
and logging parameters, entered by the user. The program is
intended for use by foresters to evaluate the economics of
different stand management...
This dissertation presents results from three studies that address major scientific questions in glacial geology and paleoclimatology for the late Pleistocene and Holocene using relatively new geochemical and statistical techniques. Each of the studies attempts to answer a longstanding question in the respective field using geochemical or statistical methods that...
Tropical forest-to-agriculture conversions contribute to ~20% of contemporary global C emissions. Current global C flux estimates assume C is lost from vegetation and soils over time due to this conversion, and that C stocks in agricultural lands are fairly uniform across the tropics. Global C stock and flux estimates may...
