Biomass and nutrient dynamics associated with deforestation, biomass burning and conversion to pasture in a tropical dry forest in Mexico

Creator:: Steele, Michael D.
Abstract:: The effects of deforestation and biomass burning in tropical dry forests (TDF) remain a little studied phenomenon. We quantified total aboveground biomass (TAGB), carbon and nutrient (N,S,Ca,P,K) loss under two separate fire severity scenarios; one early when the fuels were higher in moisture content, one later when the slash fuels...

AI, Robot: A Rhetorical Analysis of Jeopardy! Matches Featuring IBM’s Artificial Intelligence

Creator:: Steele, Evan T.
Abstract:: The relationship between the public and new technologies has historically been a tumultuous one, with public perceptions ranging from excited rapid adoption to standoffish pessimism. In 2011, IBM tried to use competition as a means of showcasing a new technology to the public. This thesis is a work of rhetorical...

Flavor development of cheddar cheese under different manufacturing practices

Creator:: Lemus, Freddy Mauricio
Abstract:: Cheddar Cheese samples (good cheese, weak cheese, cheese made with pasteurized milk, cheese made with heat-shocked milk, cheese from production plant A, cheese from production plant B, cheese made with adjunct culture, and cheese made without adjunct culture), were evaluated during the ripening stage. Proteolysis was studied by a fractionation...

Effects of X- and gamma irradiation on the juvenile pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas

Creator:: Trenholm, Steve Ray
Abstract:: Two separate studies were conducted during this research project. Oysters were irradiated with 500 and 1000 rads and 5, 10, 20, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 krads in the first study in order to determine the effects of ionizing radiation on survival and growth rates. Two periods of high...

Composition of Pinot noir Wines Produced from Different Crop Levels

Creator:: Li, Jingwen
Abstract:: The production of high-quality wine is an important target for wineries worldwide, and low crop level (yield) has been one vineyard management criterion long believed to achieve wine quality. Low yields are most often achieved by removing clusters from the grapevine. Some studies show that cluster thinning can enhance grape...

Influence of ruminant digestive processes on germination of ingested seeds

Creator:: Lowry, Amaya A.
Abstract:: Managing cattle to disseminate seeds of desirable plants, or alternatively, to restrict weed seed contamination on rangelands is of interest to managers. Four experiments were conducted to determine effects of ruminant digestion on germination of ingested seeds. A number of plant species representing a variety of seed size and seed...

Remote-sensing and geographic information system techniques to map spatial variation of wheat grain yield

Creator:: Roberts, Michael C. (Michael Coy), 1951-
Abstract:: Farmers and researchers are aware of spatial variation in grain yield within farms or fields. Fertilizer management may be improved if techniques can be developed to identify grain yield variations in wheat fields. Aerial color infrared (CIR) photography was used to identify winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) canopy biomass variability...
