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:
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 ...
Anaerobic sequencing batch reactor treatment of low strength swine manure and co-digestion of energy dense by-products
(2013-05)
The Anaerobic Sequencing Batch Reactor (ASBR) is a batch digester utilizing a single vessel for digestion and solids separation. Internal solids retention provides the ASBR with the ability to treat dilute solids wastewaters ...
Quantifying sediment loads from streambank erosion and potential load reductions from streambank stabilization using process-based modeling
(2017-07)
Unstable streambanks contribute a significant sediment load to surface waters in some watersheds. Streambank stabilization techniques are available to increase stability of streambanks or reduce erodibility, thereby reducing ...
