Hydrate Ridge has the distinction of hosting the first documented subduction-driven cold seep system that supports chemosynthetic life by Anaerobic Oxidation of Methane as well as the most widely researched methane hydrate setting at any active continental margin. Today this site is a vital node of Northeast Pacific regional long-term...
This publication describes raspberry cultivars, including red, yellow, black, and purple types. It explains the difference between floricane-fruiting and primocane-fruiting cultivars, includes information on commercial value, and identifies which cultivars work well for home gardens.
This publication describes blueberry cultivars, including northern highbush, southern highbush, rabbiteye, lowbush, and half-high types. It includes information on commercial value and identifies which cultivars work well for home gardens.
This revision updates information on susceptibility of grapevines to several common herbicides used in agricultural production. Color photos illustrate injury symptoms. The publication provides practical measures that vineyard owners and their neighbors can take to reduce the risk of herbicide drift and injury to grapes.
The effect of bactericidal UV-C treatments (254 nm) on E. coli O157:H7 suspended in apple juice increased synergistically with temperature up to a threshold value. The optimum UV-C treatment temperature was 55 °C yielding a 58.9% synergistic lethal effect. Under these treatment conditions, the UV-heat (UV-H[subscript 55 °C]) lethal variability...
High pressure processing (HPP) has become the most widely accepted nonthermal food preservation technology. The pressure range for commercial processes is typically around 100-600 MPa, whereas moderate temperature (up to 65°C) may be used to increase microbial and enzymatic inactivation levels. However, these industrial processing conditions are insufficient to achieve...
A promising formulation of glipizide comprising compression of four-layer coated beads into tablets which has advantages of providing a lag time (~ 2 hours) before drug release, retaining sustained-release characteristics, and providing approximately zero-order drug release, with drug release nearly independent of paddle speeds of 50 and 100 rpm during...
The interaction of the dominant semidiurnal M₂ internal tide with the large-scale subtidal flow is examined
in an ocean model by propagating the tide through an ensemble of background fields in a domain centered on
the Hawaiian Ridge. The background fields are taken from the Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA)...
This paper presents a case study on the application of a dynamic framework for the intelligent
control of flooding in the Boise River system in Idaho. This framework couples a robust
and numerically efficient hydraulic routing approach with the popular multi-objective Non-dominated
Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II). The novelty of...
