Near the bottom, the velocity profile in the bottom boundary layer over the continental
shelf exhibits a characteristic law-of-the-wall that is consistent with local estimates of
friction velocity from near-bottom turbulence measurements. Farther from the bottom, the
velocity profile exhibits a deviation from the law-of-the-wall. Here the velocity gradient
continues...
Engaging large numbers of undergraduates in authentic scientific discovery is desirable but difficult to achieve. We
have developed a general model in which faculty and teaching assistants from diverse academic institutions are trained to teach a
research course for first-year undergraduate students focused on bacteriophage discovery and genomics. The course...

Rising atmospheric [CO₂], cₐ, is expected to affect stomatal regulation of leaf gas-exchange of woody plants, thus influencing energy fluxes as well as carbon (C), water, and nutrient cycling of forests. Researchers have proposed various strategies for stomatal regulation of leaf gas-exchange that include maintaining a constant leaf internal [CO₂],...
The efficacy of DNA extraction protocols can be highly dependent upon both the type of sample being investigated and the types of downstream
analyses performed. Considering that the use of new bacterial community analysis techniques (e.g., microbiomics, metagenomics) is becoming
more prevalent in the agricultural and environmental sciences and many...
