(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Coumaphos is an organophosphate insecticide used predominantly by the US Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services for its tick eradication program. Bioremediation of the hydrolysis products ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The frequency of on-site systems for treatment of domestic wastewater is increasing with new residential development in both rural and low-density suburban areas. Subsurface flow constructed wetlands (SFCW) have emerged ...
-
(2019-03-28)As urbanizing cities work toward sustainable resource planning, particular attention must be given to the interdependence of interconnected resource challenges. Coherent policies, strengthened by and consistent with, the ...
-
(2019-07-29)The cosmic-ray neutron sensors (CRNS) are a proximal sensor that can be used to estimate spatially averaged soil moisture at hectometer scale. The sensor measures the number of thermalized neutrons created by the collision ...
-
(2017-05-04)Global glycerol supplies have been increasing steadily due to the continual expansion of biodiesel production. This glut has resulted in lower demand for glycerol, price deflation and even environmental concerns. Crude ...
-
(2012-05-09)The purpose of this research was to develop a process to produce JP8 hydrocarbons from miscane, a hybrid plant of sugarcane and Miscanthus. Bio-oil was produced from the pyrolysis of miscane at 400ºC, 500ºC and 600ºC. It ...
-
(2016-12-07)The activated iron media (AIM) treatment system is an innovative ZVI-based water treatment technology for removing heavy metals, reactive oxyanions and nutrients from a contaminated water stream. The AIM treatment system ...
-
(2009-05-15)There is a need for a robust and accurate technique to measure ammonia (NH3) emissions from animal feeding operations (AFOs) to obtain emission inventories and to develop abatement strategies. Seasonal studies were conducted ...
-
(2014-01-15)The high cost and potential toxicity of biodegradable polymers has increased the interest in natural and modified biopolymers as bioactive carriers. To design particles of small size characteristics, small dextrin ...
-
(2010-01-15)Characteristics of emitters under low pressure are essential for designing drip irrigation systems. Low pressure data for drip emitters are not available from manufacturers. A laboratory test was conducted to evaluate the ...
-
(2010-10-12)Vacuum frying is an alternative processing method for producing high quality snacks with the advantages of lower processing temperature, enhanced organoleptic quality, and reduced acrylamide content. Vacuum frying (1.33 ...
-
(2009-06-02)Subsurface drip distribution is an important on-site wastewater treatment technique which is widely used with various soil types and restricted site conditions. It can distribute pretreated wastewater uniformly into soil. ...
-
(2017-12-08)In this research, the uncertainty of commonly used GHG measurement methods was evaluated using Taylor series uncertainty analysis and a field study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of one of these methods. Taylor ...
-
(2012-02-14)Recent progress in algae biotechnology indicates that microalgae have the potential of becoming a significant source for food, feed proteins, nutraceuticals, and lipids for biofuels. Typically low concentrations of ...
-
(2009-05-15)Freshwater inflows are a crucial component for maintaining estuarine health, function and productivity. Streamflows, the primary source of freshwater inflows, have been modified and altered from their natural flow by ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)The endogenous hormones estrone and 17ò-estradiol support vertebrate growth and development, but slight increases above ambient concentrations may paradoxically induce endocrine disruption, leading to increased frequencies ...
-
(2010-07-14)Emission factors (EFs) and results from dispersion models are key components in the air pollution regulatory process. The EPA preferred regulatory model changed from ISCST3 to AERMOD in November, 2007. Emission factors are ...
-
(2012-11-30)Because of the limited supply of imported crude oil and environmental degradation, renewable energy is becoming commercially feasible and environmentally desirable. In this research, biological and thermal (pyrolysis) ...
-
(2014-12-12)Biomolecules are inherently less conductive. Therefore, bio-electronic devices that depend on conventional biomolecules to tether enzymes onto electrode supports and to shuttle electrons between the enzyme and the electrode ...
-
(2010-01-16)Over a fourth of the cotton produced in the US since 2002 has been produced in Texas, with most coming from the High Plains. In recent years, Texas has accounted for almost half of all US cotton production (USDA-NASS, ...
