Innovative nanoelectromechanical switches (NEMS) have the prospects to reduce device actuation voltages as compared to traditional semiconductor devices. Current research on NEMS seeks to avoid irreversible adhesion at the nanoscopic level, which results in device failure. Minimizing leakage currents and increasing device longevity are additional goals of this approach. The...
Five nutritional aspects of 'Valencia' orange production in Agadir, Morocco
during 1989-1991 were evaluated: 1) the effect of N and K on yield and fruit
quality, 2) leaf sampling time and diagnostic approaches to optimize mineral
nutrition, 3) mass and mineral partitioning within individual trees, 4) K-Rb
relationships, and 5)...
Relieving phosphorus loading is a key management tool for controlling Lake Erie eutrophication. During the
1960s and 1970s, increased phosphorus inputs degraded water quality and reduced central basin hypolimnetic
oxygen levels which, in turn, eliminated thermal habitat vital to cold-water organisms and contributed to the
extirpation of important benthic macroinvertebrate...
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of forage quality and supplemental undegradable intake protein (UIP) level on intake, digestibility, and performance of beef cattle. In Exp. 1, five ruminally cannulated steers (BW = 456 ± 6 kg) were used in a 6 x 5 incomplete Latin square with...
