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 ...

The goal of this project is to develop a novel enzymatic process to produce galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), also known as Bifidus growth factor, from whey permeate or lactose. Specific objectives include: 1) to optimize enzyme immobilization on cotton cloth and other support materials, 2) to evaluate the proposed two-step enzyme reaction for GOS production from whey lactose, 3) to optimize nanofil ...

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 ...

Not Available The United State Department of Agricultural (USDA) and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services (APHIS) in conjunction with other Federal and State Organizations, have conducted a number of integrated pest management programs to eradicate various types of household pest including Red Imported Fire Ants (RIFA). Recent programs have involved application of products such as Malat ...

Not Available The infestation of crawling insect vermin can cause severe economic losses in citrus and other fruit and nut trees, nursery stock and ornamentals. The red imported fire ants (RIFA) in particular are responsible for damage and death of young citrus tree in the major U.S. citrus growing regions. RIFA freed on bark and cambium to obtain sap, girdling and often killing trees. Fire ants a ...

Not Available The AcclimatronTM plant propagation technology patented by Clemson University minimizes the shock of transfer of plant tissue cultures from heterotrophic growth in the laboratory to photoautotrophic growth in natural sunlight. Southern Son Propagation Systems, Inc. (SoSun) has acquired exclusive license from Clemson University to manufacture AcclimatronTM Systems and to market them b ...
