Anaerobic digestion of lipid-extracted algal biomass has been proposed as a method to
recover and recycle nutrients in algal biofuel systems. The purpose of this study was to quantify recoverable nitrogen and phosphorus from anaerobically digested C. vulgaris. Recoverable nutrients were deemed those present in the liquid phase of anaerobic...

Large numbers of hatchery salmon spawn in wild populations each year. Hatchery
fish with multiple generations of hatchery ancestry often have heritably lower
reproductive success than wild fish and may reduce the fitness of an entire population.
Whether this reduced fitness also occurs for hatchery fish created with

The reaction of fluid or gas flowing around an obstacle is a common engineering problem. Computer simulations are often used to measure and visualize the physical processes involved. In this report, we will discuss a parallel implementation of a simulation using the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach to fluid flow....

The counterflow pipeline concept was originated by Sproull and Sutherland to demonstrate
the concept of asynchronous circuits. This architecture relies on distributed decision

them into a substantially faster more scalable architecture that has the same distributed...

Questions:
Popular methods to analyse community–trait–environment relationships constrain community patterns by trait and environment relationships. What if some traits are strongly associated with community composition but unrelated to environmental variables and vice versa? We take a different approach, unconstrained by this assumption using non-parametric methods. We applied this technique to...

In hop, powdery mildew (caused by Podosphaera macularis) is most damaging to cones when infection occurs during bloom and the juvenile stages of cone development. Experiments...
