The pecan weevil is considered the most harmful late season pest of pecan and requires population monitoring in orchards for proper pest management practices. In this research, algorithms for detecting and identifying pecan ...

High-speed winding of paper web sometimes leads the winding system into unstable states, interlayer slippage of wound roll, paper breakage and so on, due to the excessive air-entrainment at the roll-inlet of nip contact ...

Scope and Method of Study: Letters were written to 147 teachers and administrators in Oklahoma schools now using the School Mathematics Study Group material in their mathematics program. Responses to 52 letters were received ...

When polymer/catalyst samples are heated in hydrogen, the extent of hydrogenation is reflected by reduced residue content and variations in Ea versus temperature curves. The addition of platinum increases volatile aromatic ...

Biofilms are ubiquitous in subsurface environments and are being used in a variety of engineering and remediation applications. Their ephemeral nature makes them hard to detect and, as a result, the much needed in-situ ...

Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important variable in the hydrologic cycle. As such, improved understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of ET is critical to weather and climate analysis and prediction, water ...

Knowledge of the in-situ stress field is often critical in several aspects of well design, being one of the most important parameters in reservoir management: wellbore stability, hydraulic fracture propagation and production ...

Glucose, the simplest and most abundant sugar in nature, is the preferred carbon source for many organisms. In the presence of glucose, genes that are essential to metabolize alternative carbon sources are repressed, a ...
