The effect of canopy orientation on fruiting performance of 'Beurre
d'Anjou' pears (Pyrus communis L.) and postharvest urea spray on ovule
longevity and fruit set of 'Doyenne du Comice' pears were studied.
Hedgerows of 'Beurre d'Anjou' pear trees planted in 1969 in two
orientations north-south (N-S) and east-west (E-W) were...
Fennema and Sherman (1976) defined math anxiety as "feelings of anxiety, dread, nervousness, and associated bodily symptoms related to doing mathematics" (p. 326). The longitudinal impact that math anxiety has on adolescent students can include their experiencing reduced math achievement, avoiding majors that involve large amounts of math, and choosing...
Ultrafast spectroscopy has recently gained momentum as a powerful, noninvasive characterization toolset capable of studying a diverse array of samples with applications in chemistry, physics, biology, engineering, and more. Two popular ultrafast spectroscopic techniques include femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA) and femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS). The latter of these techniques...
Ultrafast spectroscopy can exploit the structure-function relationship of chemical- and biological-based systems. More specifically, femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) provides ground- and excited-state vibrational information with simultaneously high spectral (spatial) and temporal resolutions. The electronic counterpart, femtosecond transient absorption (fs-TA), complements FSRS data analysis as part of a comprehensive approach...
The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of surge wave loading on
wood framed residential structures for a variety of building configurations and test conditions.
The objectives of the study were: (1) to measure forces on a 1/6th scale wood framed
residential structure, (2)...
During the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) in Christchurch, NZ, an estimated $15B in damages occurred due to liquefaction-induced phenomena, illustrating the importance of understanding site-specific responses to seismic ground motions, as well the importance of accurately predicting liquefaction severity. One potential method for improving the understanding of how a site...
