We propose a time dependent Eulerian model for sea surface entrainment, buoyancy transport and droplet dynamics of ocean oil. The model captures the microscale vertical oil mass exchanges in the neighborhood of the sea surface. This model is in turn part of an oil fate model designed to capture oil...
Rwanda is one of the sub-Sahara African countries that have made greater strides in promoting gender equality and empowerment of women across all agricultural sectors aquaculture. Until recently the country has been more or less self-sufficient as regards food supplies. Now, however the estimated rate of population increase is greater...
Fungicide sensitivity of honey bee associated fungi
Abstract - Honey bees are exposed to a wide range of pesticides while pollinating agricultural crops. These pesticides residues are found in beeswax, nectar and pollen in the hive. Some of the pesticides found are fungicides which are not generally considered harmful to...

Plastids are actively involved in numerous plant processes critical to growth, development and adaptation. They play a
primary role in photosynthesis, pigment and monoterpene synthesis, gravity sensing, starch and fatty acid synthesis, as well
as oil, and protein storage. We applied two complementary methods to analyze the recently published apple...

Processed potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) products, such as chips and French fries, contribute to the dietary intake of acrylamide, a suspected human carcinogen. One of the most promising approaches for reducing its consumption is to develop and commercialize new potato varieties with low acrylamide-forming potential. To facilitate this effort, a...

In this research we address a sequence-dependent group scheduling problem on a set of unrelated-parallel machines where the run time of each job differs on different machines. To benefit both producer and customers we attempt to minimize a linear combination of total weighted completion time and total weighted tardiness. Since...
Background Adherence to medications for treating alcohol use disorder (AUD) is poor. To identify predictors of daily naltrexone adherence over time, a secondary data analysis was conducted of a trial evaluating a mobile health intervention to improve adherence.
Methods Participants seeking treatment for AUD (n = 58; M-age = 38...
New apatite and zircon (U-Th)/He cooling ages quantify late Cenozoic exhumation patterns associated with fault activity across the Kashmir Himalaya. Apatite (U-Th)/He (AHe) cooling ages of detrital grains from the Sub-Himalayan foreland sediments indicate significant resetting. AHe data and thermal modeling reveal cooling and exhumation initiated by 4Ma at the...
