Ireland's Catholic Church played an important role in the turn-of-the-century nationalism that shaped James Joyce's identity and writing; yet it also played an important part in preventing that nationalism from achieving its goals of autonomy and cultural independence. For Joyce, this was particularly evident in the dialects and
thought structures...
Over recent decades, the marine ecosystems of Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska have experienced the concurrent effects of a major anthropogenic disturbance, the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill (EVOS), and a dynamic atmospheric-oceanic environment. Studies of top marine consumers can provide insights into processes of ecosystem change. Using data collected...
Studies were conducted to determine the site of DCPA toxicity
on annual ryegrass. This was done by means of a technique which
used pyrex tubing and a vapor barrier to separate exposure of coleoptile
and roots of emerging grass seedlings to various concentrations of DCPA. Coleoptiles that emerged through treated...

Fume, sub-micron aerosal particles in the combustion gases, have been identified
as a cause of extensive plugging and fouling in the heat transfer section of a kraft
recovery boiler in kraft pulp mills. After the deposition on the heat transfer surface,
fume deposits will undergo the sintering process which causes...
The effects of possible operating variables such as flow rate, surface temperature, bulk temperature, solids contents, sulfate addition and pH on the fouling of sulfite spent evaporators were studied. The study pointed out that the Ca⁺⁺ concentration difference between heated surface and bulk is the most important factor for fouling...
