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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
