Effects of sodium nitrite and tocopherol incorporated poly (lactic acid) films on dark-cutting beef
(2023-05)
This study aimed to determine the effects of poly(lactic acid)-(PLA) films incorporating sodium nitrite and α-tocopherol on dark-cutting beef. A low-concentration (LC) PLA pellet was compounded with 0.12% sodium nitrite ...
Subnational democracy and journalist repression: Increased violence against journalists in democratic Mexico
(2023-05)
Existing theories of democracy and repression expect higher repression in unconsolidated democracies like Mexico. This project examines whether executive constraint, executive competition, or both, or neither matters in ...
Analytical modeling of conductivity chemographs of Byrds Mill Spring
(2020-12)
Rhythmic springs occur when a groundwater flowpath that supplies a spring's discharge form a hydraulic siphon. The hydraulic siphon brings the spring varying fluxes of water that cycle over time. If these flows are only ...
