Production of alcohols via syngas fermentation using Alkalibaculum bacchi monoculture and a mixed culture
(2013-12)
Gasification-syngas fermentation is a hybrid conversion technology. In this process, feedstocks such as biomass or municipal solid waste are gasified to syngas (CO, H2 and CO2), which is then converted into biofuels and ...
Development of microwave dielectric algorithms for sensing corn stalks
(2012-05)
Scope and Method of Study:
Effect of drying temperature, size reduction, propane extraction, and storage temperature on the quality and shelf life of cilantro (Coriandrum sativum L.)
(2013-05)
Cilantro dried at 40°C and 60°C was ground and separated into large flakes (LF), small flakes (SF), and coarse powder (CP) and subjected to continuous flow liquid propane extraction at 21-25°C. Extracted and unextracted ...
Assessment and Development of Remotely Sensed Evapotranspiration Modeling Approaches
(2019-05-01)
Remote sensing has been a promising approach to extracting distributed evapotranspiration (ET) information at varying spatial and temporal scales. Performances of several vegetation index (VI) based and remotely sensed ...
Microbial removal efficiency within bioretention filter media in laboratory and field environments
(2015-12)
This study will evaluate bioretention systems' ability to remove microbial pollutants in both the laboratory and field settings, while also providing essential background on urban stormwater, pollutants, treatment options, ...
Development of a prototype crop residue burning machine
(2019-12)
The purpose of this study was to design, develop and evaluate a prototype crop residue burning machine that burns the largest area while maintaining burn uniformity. Additionally, the concentration of air pollutants and ...
Quantifying fluvial resistance of streambanks using jet erosion tests
(2014-12)
The United States has over forty-thousand impaired water bodies with sediment listed as one of the top five causes of impairment. Recent research has found that more than 50% of fine sediment in watersheds originates from ...
Evaluating the Impacts of Variable Irrigation Management Strategies on the Performance of Cotton and Grain Sorghum Using Monitoring and Modeling Techniques
(2019-05-01)
Diminishing water resources have threatened irrigated agriculture in many semi-arid and arid regions across the globe. In these regions, both surface and groundwater resources have declined due to persistent droughts and ...
Anthropogenic impacts on the landscape: Investigations in water quality and channel stability
(2016-07)
The natural landscape has been impacted by human settlement, development and agricultural practices. One of the major impacts of these anthropogenic activities is excessive upland soil erosion. During runoff events, eroded ...
Scenario optimization approach for designing biomass supply chain
(2012-12)
Scope and Method of Study:
