The purpose of this project was to optimize the biomass growth of Schizochytrium limacinum SR21. This was achieved by studying the effect of various concentrations of glucose, use of pure glycerol and purified crude glycerol as alternative carbon sources, and inhibition of cell growth with the presence of copper. The...
Nowadays, woody biomass is becoming increasingly significant because of its renewability and biodegradability. Lots of opportunities have been found to use excessive biological resources to derive products as diverse as fuels, heat, electricity, chemicals, food, clothing, paper, and much more. As such, biomass plays an important role in meeting demands...

4-H, an agriculture based youth program, promotes a variety of curricula in both agriculture and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (S.T.E.M.) topics. However, science based curricula provided by this organization gravitates away from the programs agricultural roots. An effort was made to pilot a test on lesson plans that would...
In this study, the effects of A and B site cation substitution of the distorted perovskite YCoO₃ on crystal structure and thermoelectric properties were investigated. Polycrystalline samples of Y₁₋ₓCaₓCoO₃ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.20) and YCo₁₋ₓRhₓO₃ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) were prepared by solid state reaction. Optimal synthesis conditions...
