The overall goals of this research and development are to design the most efficient recirculating system utilizing the advantages and engineering for the constraints of the coal bed methane discharge outfall, to construct and test the commercial prototype at the designated site, to quantify the capital and operating costs of the prototype under full commercial loading in order to forecast financia ...

Not Available Paper recycling continues to increase in the United States, with public support and legislative mandates helping boost recycling of all paper grades. Office waste paper is a significant source of high grade paper fiber for recycling, but is currently underutilized, due to the challenges of fully removing xerographic and laser printer toner. These so called *laser inks* are designed t ...

Commercially available tents and vestibules are relatively inaccessible to people who use mobility devices or those with dexterity limitations. The objectives of this project are to develop and test tent-related technology which results in a vestibule and a combined tent and vestibule accessible to people of varying abilities, including people with mobility, dexterity, cognitive and visual impairm ...

Not Available Infectious hematopoeitic necrosis (IHN) is a highly contagious rhabdoviral disease of important species of trout and salmon. There are presently no proven or accepted methods for prevention or treatment of IHN. Under the intensive conditions of aquaculture, IHN virus (IHNV) causes significant losses at nearly all stages of production. The results of Phase I studies indicated that int ...

The proposed research will focus on the cultivation of Osha (Ligusticum porteri), a popular native medicinal herb, for the purpose of developing a new commercial crop for Wyoming growers. Presently the only source for this plant are wild populations found at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Montana and Nevada. Due to the high demand for ...

PROGRESS IN DEVELOPING NUTRITIONALLY IMPROVED MAIZE HAS SUFFERED DUE TO THE LACK OF A SIMPLE, RAPID AND INEXPENSIVE METHOD FOR ASSESSING BREEDING PROGRESS. METHODS TO DATE HAVE GENERALLY INVOLVED THE USE OF VISIBLE VARIANTS SUCH AS OPAQUE WITH ASSOCIATE QUALITY/YIELD DEFICIENCIES OR COMPLEX/EXPENSIVE ANALYTICAL METHODS SUCH AS AMINO ACID ANALYSIS. WE PROPOSE TO DEVELOP AN IMMUNOLOGICAL DIAGNOSTICF ...
