The purpose of this study was to determine whether knowledge
beneficial to an organization operating under normal conditions could
be gained by studying a manufacturing plant operating with salaried

A series of chemical penetrants are employed to
investigate the chemical characteristics of size bonds in
different sizing systems. The bonding strength has been
proved to be determined by the type of bonding. In rosinalum
size the size bond is an indirect coordinate bond,
which is vulnerable to the attack...

Rocks are defined as aggregates or mixtures of minerals; rocks also include noncrystalline materials such as the natural glasses, and organic material such as coal. Rocks are found ready-made in nature. They are not homogeneous nor are they crystalline, although they may be made up of crystalline material. The composition...
Important records such as driver’s licenses, birth certificates, and insurance papers often are lost or damaged in a disaster. It is important to replace these as soon as possible because obtaining replacements may take weeks
or months.
Dry strength is an inherent structural property of a paper sheet. It is due primarily to the development of fiber-to-fiber bonds. Polyamines, especially polyallylamine·HC1 (PAA), were found to be suitable mordants for rosin sizing. However, their effectiveness as dry strength agents has not been studied. In this study polyallylamine·HC1 was...
Bacillus subtilis and essential oils have been explored separately for their ability to limit colonization by wood stain and mold fungi, but neither approach has been completely effective. One alternative strategy would be to combine the bacterial biocontrol with one or more natural products extracts. In this report, the ability...
A novel technology for processing pulp slurries with high inorganic filler content and at high consistencies (solids content) is extrusion. The paper industry waste comprises of fibers mixed with inorganic filler content.

Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a significant issue among adolescents in the United States affecting 13% to 25% of young adults. In 2012, Arizona saw over 12,000 adolescents in emergency rooms due to self-injury. Approximately 50% to 85% of self-injuring adolescents will attempt suicide at least once during their lifetime. Adolescents...
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is an emerging biological monitoring tool that can aid in assessing the effects of forestry and forest manufacturing activities on biota. Monitoring taxa across broad spatial and temporal scales is necessary to ensure forest management and forest manufacturing activities meet their environmental goals of maintaining biodiversity.

Birds of prey and carnivorous mammals feed on small birds, rodents and other small mammals. Humans perceive many of the prey animals of these predators as well as the predators themselves, as “pests”, and seek to control them. Control methods for these unwanted pests, particularly rodents, have the potential to...
