Femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) is a powerful ultrafast technique which can track photoinduced excited state structural events on femtosecond (fs) to picosecond (ps) timescales. In addition to high temporal and spectral resolutions, FSRS provides a broad spectral window from ca. 100—2000 cm-1 for detection, enabling the direct mapping of...
The Olalla / Lookingglass Watershed assessment has two goals:
1) To describe the past, present, and potential future conditions that affect water quality and fish habitat within the Olalla / Lookingglass Watershed; and
2) To provide a research-based action plan that suggests voluntary activities to improve fish habitat and water...
Kuwait has undergone dramatic political and economic transformations over the past century. From the rapid transition to an oil-based economy in the 1940s to the unexpected Iraqi invasion in 1990, change has been constant. While much of the focus has been on the economy and society, it is also true...
Land application of industrial wastewater with high levels of nitrogen requires
adequate management practices to prevent groundwater pollution by nitrates. In this study
a predictive computerized model was developed for nitrate leachate concentrations
resulting from land application of wastewater onto crop systems including poplars. The
study included a literature review,...
In order to better characterize linker histone interactions with DNA, avian erythrocyte-specific linker H5 and the trypsin-resistant globular domain of H5 (GH5) were used in DNA binding studies. To begin, H5 displayed a considerably higher binding
affinity for DNA than the isolated globular domain (GH5), supporting the importance of the...
The distribution patterns of quartz and opal contents and the distribution
patterns of radiolarian assemblages, in the sediments of the
southeastern Pacific, are largely controlled by both the surface winds
and the mixed-layer oceanic circulation. The distribution pattern of
quartz is related to eolian and ice-rafted transport, as well as...
The social and economic objectives of society in the United
States are many and varied. All objectives, in turn, cannot be
achieved simultaneously because of a finite resource base. The problem
of finding an optimum, in some sense, level of achievement for
the various objectives is complicated by lack of...
