The purpose of this watershed assessment is to provide an inventory and characterization of
watershed conditions in the Wilson River watershed and to provide recommendations that
address the issues of water quality, fisheries and fish habitat, and watershed hydrology.
The purpose of this watershed assessment is to inventory and characterize watershed conditions of the Miami River watershed and to provide recommendations that address the issues of water quality, fisheries and fish habitat, and watershed hydrology. This assessment was conducted by reviewing and synthesizing existing data sets and some new...
Two experiments were conducted to examine the effect of
a cyclopropenoid fatty acid on luteal cell function. In Exp.
1, 12 mature ewes were mated to a fertile ram, assigned to two
groups (n = 6/group) and laparotomized on day 18 of gestation.
Ewes with corpora lutea (CL) in both...
Congenital myopathies are caused by heritable mutations in particular genes. Genes mutated in congenital muscular dystrophies often encode cytoskeletal proteins, which contribute to the shape and movement of cells. We would like to know how such molecular defects lead to the muscle weakness in patients. It is therefore important to...
Non-point agricultural contaminants, such as nitrogen, may lower groundwater quality and thereby impose health and environmental risks. The objective of this study is to evaluate tax policies to control agricultural pollutants in a spatially heterogeneous and dynamic setting. The focus of the study is non-point source nitrate contamination of groundwater...
Ex-situ bioremediation of saturated soil contaminated with pentachlorophenol and
2,3,5,6-TeCP is commonly accomplished by landfarming or by treatment in a bioreactor.
Treating saturated, low-permeability soils in bioreactors, without pre-treatment requires a
reactor capable of promoting anaerobic and/or aerobic removal of chlorophenols without
transferring these contaminants to the aqueous phase. A...
