Measurement and prediction of chemical flocculation for sediment control in flowing water
(2014-07)
Land disturbance activities on construction sites can increase the rate of soil erosion at alarming rates, especially during intense storm events. Freshwater streams receiving the sediment laden runoff can experience adverse ...
Development of a new local adaptive thresholding method and classification algorithms for x-ray machine vision inspection of pecans
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study:
Corn plant location, spacing and stalk diameter measurement using optical sensing technologies
(2014-05)
Plant within-row spacing and stalk diameters at mid-growth stages have been demonstrated to be important variables in the by-plant yield prediction model for corn. This information would help advising the in-season ...
Critical review of US Environmental Protection Agency numerical nutrient criteria with respect to Culturally Significant Waters as a designated use
(2015-12)
The Cherokee Nation, a Federally-recognized Tribal government in Northeastern Oklahoma lacks Tribal water quality standards for numerical nutrient standards based on baseline conditions in the Cherokee Nation. Lotic waters ...
Analysis of trickle-bed reactor for ethanol production from syngas using Clostridium ragsdalei
(2014-05)
The conversion of syngas components (CO, CO2 and H2) to liquid fuels such as ethanol involves complex biochemical reactions catalyzed by a group of acetogens such as Clostridium ljungdahlii, Clostridium carboxidivorans and ...
Electro-hydrodynamic spot-spray application of food-grade oil and emulsifier blends as a release agent in baking
(2018-05)
In industrial baking, vegetable oil is used as a release agent for bread depanning. The conventional process of applying oil uses pressure and shear to atomize the oil. This works but generates over-spray and, thus, creates ...
Biofunctional polymer coatings via initiated chemical vapor deposition
(2012-05)
Scope and Method of Study:
Incorporating digital data into rapid geomorphic assessments
(2018-12)
Channel widening and migration can lead to sediment pollution and can be indicative of an imbalanced stream system. Rapid Geomorphic Assessments (RGAs) are on-site methods used to rank stream reaches in terms of stability. ...
Evaluating the least cost selection of agricultural management practices in the Five-Mile Creek area of Fort Cobb watershed
(2018-05)
One of the main causes of water quality impairment in the United States is human induced Non-Point Source (NPS) pollution through intensive agriculture. The Fort Cobb Reservoir (FCR) watershed located in southwestern ...
Drying and storage of switchgrass
(2012-07)
Scope and Method of Study: Switchgrass is recognized as potential bioenergy crops for bioethanol production. Economic analysis, and biomass supply chain and logistics planning require estimation of storage losses as well ...
