This research introduces an energy storage system to deliver microgrid frequency response. A doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) and a squirrel cage induction machine (SCIM) are coupled together as a motor/generator set to deliver an immediate inertial response to a change of frequency, and an inverter and supercapacitors deliver short term...
Anammox (anaerobic ammonium oxidation) bacteria are capable of providing low-cost nitrogen removal for numerous types of wastewaters. However, low growth rates cause long startup-times and inhibition by oxygen and metabolic substrates necessitate close process control to maintain performance. Incorporation of Simultaneous Anammox and Denitrification (SAD) into constructed wetlands could provide...
The objectives of this study were to evaluate environmental
factors influencing use of several plant communities by cattle, elk
and deer; determine under story production by plant species and the
amount utilized by cattle, elk and deer in certain plant communities;
evaluate the interactions of range use between cattle, elk...
Three studies were conducted to evaluate the relationship between
insulin and nutritional parameters in rainbow trout. In the first study
effects on growth parameters and tissue composition of rainbow trout were
investigated following injection of bovine insulin at two dose levels
every 48 hr for 56 days. In addition, [¹⁴C]-leucine...
Interception of precipitation by forest canopies has been found previously to reduce rainfall intensity, but this effect is poorly understood. The goal of this research is to quantify the attenuation of rainfall intensity by forest canopy interception, with the specific objective of estimating the contribution of this attenuation to hillslope...
It is well known that world production of shrimp, particularly farm-raised product, has increased significantly since the early-to-mid 1980's and that much of the product is directed to the U.S. market. Less well known is the fact that the product composition of the U.S. imported product (e.g., headless shell-on, peeled)...
In recent years, considerable attention has been given to the effects of removing trade restrictions on natural resource utilization and on poverty, especially in developing countries. Our paper adds to the growing body of conceptual work to show conditions under which a developing country that, in isolation, is unable to...
Theory suggests that fishing effort would be allocated among various fishing grounds such that profit levels would be equal. Homogeneity among fishers as well as perfect information is assumed and profits are opportunistically increased by changing fishing locations. These assumptions have been shown empirically ins some single fisheries where fishers...
