Understanding the causes of variation in herbivore damage to plants is very important in that crop loss can be reduced, and damage may be manipulated to limit population growth of invasive weed species. My research focuses ...

We introduce an algorithm for the classical recognition problem of identifying elements s within a class of strings S = {s1, s2, ..., sn}. Here it is assumed that struct s = { char *a; int z; }; and that for two strings ...

The (α, α, α, α)-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2-(4-fluorophenylurea)phenyl)porphyrin binds strongly (K(M⁻¹)>10⁴) to chloride anion, and close to 2-3 orders of magnitude less to acetate anion, in DMSO-d₆ as revealed by ¹H NMR titration ...

A noniterative method is introduced that will enable the designer to find an optmal one step state feedback controller. The controller will place the eigenvalues of the closed loop system in a specified disk.

Nigeria is the eighth largest oil producer in the world, and the largest in Africa. Yet, instead of transforming the country into one of the most prosperous in the continent, Nigeria's abundant natural resources have ...

The Sedgwick Basin is an important hydrocarbon producing area in Kansas. Subsurface structural and isopach (thickness) maps and cross-sections illustrate the depositional and tectonic history of the area. It has undergone ...

The design of donor-acceptor systems and the study of their photo-induced electron transfer processes are of current interest in artificial photosynthesis and solar energy conversion. Among donor-acceptor conjugates, ...

Diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen, was widely administered to pregnant women between 1947 and 1971 on account of a misconception that it could prevent miscarriages. The offspring of these women were diagnosed ...

This research tested the hypothesis that including anecdotal evidence impacts treatment choice by influencing the trade-off between effectiveness and invasiveness. In addition, the role of decision-making style was examined. ...
