Soil pathogen fate and transport: Biopores facilitating Escherichia coli transport
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Laboratory and field experiments, and computational model.
Properties of gasification-derived char and its utilization for catalytic tar reforming
(2015-05)
Char is a low-value byproduct of biomass gasification and pyrolysis with many potential applications, such as soil amendment and the synthesis of activated carbon. The overall goal of the proposed research was to develop ...
Experimental investigation and simulation of a fluidized-bed gasifier using switchgrass
(2013-12)
The overall goal of this research was to improve and optimize yield and composition of syngas generated from biomass gasification using an autothermal lab-scale fluidized-bed gasifier, and to develop a biomass gasification ...
Quantifying phosphorus loads and streambank erosion in the Ozark Highland Ecoregion using the SWAT model
(2015-12)
Phosphorus (P) and sediment are major pollutants of waterbodies in the United States. Recent research has shown that future management practices must consider legacy P, especially from streambanks. Identifying and quantifying ...
In-orchard imaging of pecan weevil and efficient identification using orthogonal polar moment descriptors
(2015-12)
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 ...
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 ...
