After three decades of active research coupling hydrology and stream ecology, the connection among solute transport, metabolism and processing is still unresolved. These knowledge gaps obscure the functioning of stream ecosystems and how those ecosystems interact with other landscape processes. We must resolve these challenges to wisely manage water resources,...
The optimal allocation of buffers in serial production systems is one of the oldest and most researched problems in Industrial Engineering. In general, there are three main approaches to the buffer allocation problem when the objective is to maximize throughput. The first is basically a systematic trial and error procedure...
Decline in cardiac pump function is a hallmark of aging where mitochondrial decay is an important underlying cause. Although certainly multifactorial in nature, both dysfunction of the machinery involved in the chemiosmotic process of energy transduction and lower capacity to maintain fatty acid-driven respiration are identified as intrinsic factors of...
Nearly 80% of solid tumors, such as melanoma, metastasize via the lymphatic system. The most common form of melanoma is BRAF-mutant melanoma, and additional mutations, such as a PTEN mutation in the PI3K pathway, is required for metastases to occur. Standard therapy includes treatment with small molecules dabrafenib (DAB) and...
A Langmuir sorption model incorporating a second step of
irreversible absorption was applied to a model soil system. The column
was packed with cellulose triacetate; pulse and step input tests with
3,4-dichlorophenol were performed; the effluent concentration was
measured by electron capture detector gas chromatography and sorption
rate constants were...
The study had four objectives, the major one being the identification
of the common professional competencies for adequate performance
as a Baptist clergyman. A second objective was to determine
the common professional competencies needed by Baptist pastors and
ministers of education. The determination if significantly different
competencies were required for...
The rotating flighted cylinder (RFC) was investigated
as a potential wastewater treatment deVice. A RFC is a
rigid tube with a helically-wound fin attached to the interior
surface and operates by flowing wastewater through
the tube as it rotates.
An 8-inch and 24-inch
diameter RFC was tested for
solids-liquid
separation,...
Paleozoic limestones, dolomites, quartz arenites, and other
clastic rocks were mapped in the vicinity of Dobbin Summit and
Clear Creek in the central Monitor Range. Sedimentary rock units
present in this area represent the shallow-shelf eastern assemblage
and basin and also the basin-slope facies of the traditional limestoneclastic
assemblage.
