This research focused on the enhanced reductive dechlorination of trichloroethene (TCE) and its surrogate, trichlorofluoroethene (TCFE), using two bioremediation methods in anaerobic conditions. Two anaerobic bioremediation studies were conducted to investigate the effects of microbial communities in the presence of different electron acceptors and donors during anaerobic reductive dechlorination of...
Studies were conducted in the Willamette Valley of western Oregon to evaluate the effects of plowing (7.5-15 cm deep) and disking (5-10 cm deep) in peppermint, Mentha piperita L., on the following factors: 1) emergence of adult "mint root borer", Fumibotys fumalis Guenée; 2) suppression of common groundsel, Senecio vulgaris...
Viruses or viruslike particles of eukaryotic algae are ubiquitous in aquatic
habitats, however, suprisingly little is known about them. The research presented here
focused on one such virus which infects a multicellular filamentous brown alga of the
genus Feldmannia. Although preliminary studies had been performed on the genome
structure of...
We have developed crown-gall resistant transgenic plants capable of suppressing Agrobacterium tumefaciens T-DNA oncogenes. Crown gall tumors result from overproduction of auxin and cytokinin in plant cells transformed by A. tumefaciens. High phytohormone levels result from expression of two auxin biosynthetic genes, tryptophan monooxygenase (iaaM) and indole acetamide hydrolase (iaaH),...
Computers have made a great contribution to the
design process in various applications, such as design
analysis and simulation. A new technology called
Computer-aided design (CAD) has helped the designer to
design and build very intricate systems.
While most of CAD software is run on workstations or
microcomputers with one...
