In order to properly model the temperature distribution of a nuclear fuel pin, the thermal conductivity
of the fuel must be known. For sphere pac fuel, the
modeling of the conductivity is complicated due to the
fact that the fuel is a collection of spheres in a random packed bed....
Tibetan Buddhism has offered two distinct, seemingly dichotomous perspectives about motherhood as it relates to traversing the spiritual path. In the first, mothering is the antithesis to spiritual development and realization, as it tethers a practitioner to the mundane duties of saṃsāra, the cycle of rebirth and suffering, propelling her...

The yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis is the most important wines spoilage yeast encountered during winemaking as it can survive in wine for long periods, requires minimal nutrients for growth, and can be difficult to control. Brettanomyces produces two major spoilage products, the volatile phenols 4-ethylphenol (Band-Aid, medicinal smell) and 4-ethylguaiacol (smoke,...
The indiscriminate release of fecal bacteria to the environment
can present a public health hazard when pathogenic species gain access
to drinking and recreational water sources. The extent of bacterial
contamination of surface and ground waters associated with animal
production units and waste application areas seems largely dependent
on the...
This paper discusses the structure, rationale, and
application of a monitoring system specifically designed to
identify and record conversion of lands with Soil Conservation
Service Soil Capability Classes I-IV. Research methodology and
design are structured to objectively assess the rates of agricultural
land conversion to non-farm uses over a given...
A practical and versatile instrument has been developed both to
optimize the chemistry of bio- and chemiluminescence reactions and to
measure ultra-trace quantities of associated analytes. The instrument
consists of a pneumatic flow injection system linked to a detection cell and a
signal processing and readout system. The disk-like cell...
Seven species of fresh water fishes belonging to three different
families and two species of snails from Ritner Creek, Polk County,
Oregon were surveyed for adult and larval trematodes. A total of
seven species of trematodes representing four families was recovered
from the intestine of the fishes. Of these, at...
