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...

The smartphone is changing the way individuals interact with one another in society. Given the instant accessibility and multitude of socially iconic features, the contemporary handheld device grants users an unprecedented level of connectedness. However, despite the new breadth of access, perhaps the depth of the resulting social networks is...

Headwater streams comprise nearly 90% of the total length of perennial channels in global catchments. They mineralize organic carbon entering from terrestrial systems, evade terrestrial carbon dioxide (CO₂ ), and generate and remove carbon through in-stream primary production and respiration. Despite their importance, headwater streams are often neglected in global...

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
making and localized clocking and data movement. We have taken these ideas and reformulated
them into a substantially faster more scalable architecture that has the same distributed...

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
local- and...
