We present a general approach for optimizing the diffraction efficiency of a phase-type spatial light modulator (SLM). While the SLM displays a one-dimensional phase grating, the phase shift of one pixel in the grating is varied and the first-order diffraction efficiency is measured. This is repeated pixel-by-pixel to find the...
Comparisons were made of the abilities of Streptococcus lactis,
Streptococcus cremoris and Streptococcus diacetilactis bacteriophages
to endure various laboratory isolation and storage treatments.
Neutralization of Cottage cheese whey containing phages offered no
survival advantage over unneutralized samples, refrigeration of
neutral and acid whey samples increased the survival of only the...
Ecological restoration programs often attempt to maintain or enhance ecosystem services (ES), but fine-scale
maps of multiple ES are rarely available to support prioritization among potential projects. Here we use agency
reports, citizen science, and social media as data sources to quantify the spatial distribution of five recreational
elements of...

Collagen gels are widely used in experiments on cell mechanics because they mimic the extracellular matrix in physiological conditions. Collagen gels are often characterized by their bulk rheology; however, variations in the collagen fiber microstructure and cell adhesion forces cause the mechanical properties to be inhomogeneous at the cellular scale....
This study quantifies how leakage behavior from afforesting agricultural land affects the intensification of agricultural production. In particular, we examine the leakage percentage from carbon offset allowance at specific southern regions in the United States as a part of a carbon market. We use the Forest and Agriculture Sector Optimization...
This paper examines the permanence of agricultural land afforestation under stylized carbon markets at the regional
level in the US. Attention is focused on Southern and Midwest regions which historically have experienced
a relatively large amount of land-use change between the agriculture and forest sectors. The Forest and Agriculture
Sector...
