Due to its frequent use in agriculture and its frequent detection in surface water,
atrazine was chosen as a model compound to study the treatment capability of a surface flow wetland used to remediate irrigation runoff at a container nursery near Portland, Oregon. Further evaluation of treatment of atrazine was...
Liquid cooled, laminar microchannel heat sinks were
earlier proposed by Tuckerman for cooling high heat
generating integrated circuits and high power microwave
generation systems using photoconductive switches. A
method of computationally analyzing the heat sinks is
presented which produces the desired temperature and
velocity distributions within the heat sinks. The...
In order to better predict the aggregation state of nanomaterials, the factors that influence aggregation must be understood. The combined effects of natural and engineered coatings have been shown to factor into nanoparticle aggregation behavior in preliminary research. In this study, aggregation behaviors of gold nanoparticles with two different engineered...
New sources of genetic diversity must be incorporated into plant breeding programs if they are to continue increasing grain
yield and quality, and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Germplasm collections provide a source of genetic and
phenotypic diversity, but characterization of these resources is required to increase their utility...

New sources of genetic diversity must be incorporated into plant breeding programs if they are to continue increasing grain
yield and quality, and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Germplasm collections provide a source of genetic and
phenotypic diversity, but characterization of these resources is required to increase their utility...
Untreated wood is inherently hygroscopic and moisture content variations can have substantial effects on dimensional stability leading to the development of deep surface checks that further enhance moisture uptake and ultimately encourage deterioration. The horizontal exposure of wood crossties makes water repellency and dimensional stability particularly important in railroad applications....
The reliability and sensitivity of enzyme-linked immunosorbent
assay (ELISA) in the detection of ilarvirus (isometric labile ringspot
virus) subgroup B and prune dwarf virus (PDV) isolates in Prunus and
Malus species has been well established. To use this technique in
large scale virus indexing programs more information was required on...
