A Turfgrass Information and Decision Support System (TIDSS) was developed by international collaborators. In this project, an efficient and effective web-based information system, composed of a Turf Content System (TCS), a Turf Resource System (TRS), and the supporting tools, was developed to support the cooperative efforts. A comprehensive schema of...
Farm machinery continues to increase in its importance to the agricultural sector. Depreciation, the decline in value of a durable asset over time, represents one of the largest costs of agricultural production. The general objectives of this study were to update and expand the number of Remaining Value (RV) functions...
Volatile organic emissions (VOCs) from the kiln drying
of lumber are of concern to government, research agencies,
and the forest products industry. In the Pacific
Northwest, neither the quantity of VOC emissions from kilns
drying Douglas-fir is available, nor the effects of drying
schedule and lumber-related characteristics on the
emissions....
This chapter describes a mass spectrometry-based strategy that facilitates the unambiguous identification and characterization of proteins modified by lipid peroxidation-derived 2-alkenals. The approach employs a biotinylated hydroxyl amine derivative as an aldehyde/keto reactive probe in conjunction with selective enrichment and tandem mass spectrometric analysis. Methodological details are given for model...
