The American Red Cross recommends a 72-hour supply of nonperishable food for each family member. By having a supply of food, you can reduce the stress of locating food during a disaster. The kind and specific amount of food will
depend on the ages and food preferences of everyone in...
Varieties of several kinds of vegetables were observed in conjunction with breeding programs. Unless otherwise noted, plots were 10–20 feet long, in 36-foot rows, and received about 450 lb/acre (about 10 lb/1,000 ft2) of 12-29-10-4 fertilizer banded prior to planting. Water was applied every 7–14 days as needed. The soil...
We report the use of MIL-120 as a water-stable and cost-effective metal-organic framework (MOF) for selectively capturing CO₂ from wet flue gas. Synthesized using inexpensive and environmentally benign reagents in water, MIL-120 possesses one-dimensional pores decorated with hydroxyl-bridged Al(III) ions and benzene rings with an interstitial spacing of 4.78 Å....
Home gardens produce the best yields when planted with vegetable varieties adapted to local growing conditions. These variety trials may assist market growers and home gardeners in choosing adapted varieties, based on qualities that are important to them (such as appearance, earliness, flavor, yield, and disease resistance).
Thesis summarizes interviews with growers residing within the Groundwater Management Area (GWMA) in the Southern Willamette Valley of Oregon. Informal and semi-structured interviews were used to identify perceived impediments and incentives perceived by local farmers in following best management practices related to water quality. Results from the interviews were coded...
Herein, a program of research is detailed related to transport through the Si metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) quantum dots fabricated in a process flow compatible with modern ULSI (ultra large scale integrated circuit). Silicon quantum dots were fabricated by placing split gates within a MOSFET structure. Quantum dots of several...
