Present GEK (Geomagnetic Electrokinetograph) theory is extended
to include internal waves of the lowest mode. The predicted
towed electrode GEK signal is determined to second-order for long-crested
internal waves in a finite but deep ocean. The analysis includes
the determination of GEK signatures for small amplitude and
finite amplitude interfacial...
Accurate, efficient and general computational
techniques are developed to evaluate the scattering
parameters of passive microstrip components composed of
discontinuities in microstrip transmission lines on
general two layer substrates with single and two level
metallization. An open domain model is used. The
Electric Field Integral Equation is examined and the...
Raw product value of vegetables for processing in the
Northwest used to be established by a competitive market
involving proprietary processors and growers. Due to the
relocation of proprietary processors to the Midwest, this
competitive market has eroded forcing cooperative processors
to seek other means to set raw product values....
A strain of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae Born. et Flah. has been
introduced into culture and maintained since August of 1964 in completely
defined media. It exhibits the planktonic, colonial flake form
found in nature, and both heterocysts and akinetes are present. The
color and size of the flake and general appearance...
Air pollution epidemiological studies suggest that elevated exposure to fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅) is associated with higher prevalence of term low birth weight (TLBW). Previous studies have generally assumed the exposure–response of PM₂.₅ on TLBW to be the same throughout a large geographical area. Health effects related to PM₂.₅ exposures,...
The recent multistate outbreak of
a multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella Heidelberg
strain from commercial poultry production highlights
the need to better understand the reservoirs of these
zoonotic pathogens within the commercial poultry production
and processing environment. As part of a larger
study looking at temporal changes in microbial communities
within the...

The Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) for
Solid-State Lighting Science (SSLS) is one of 46 EFRCs initiated in
2009 to conduct basic and use-inspired research relevant to energy
technologies. The overarching theme of the SSLS EFRC is the
exploration of energy conversion in tailored photonic structures. In
this article we...
