Dissolution of Mn-bearing dolomite drives elevated Cr(vi) occurrence in a Permian redbed aquifer
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022-11-09)Municipalities in central Oklahoma, U.S.A. increasingly rely on water drawn from the Central Oklahoma Aquifer (COA) as surface water resources have not grown in proportion to population and current water demands. However, ... -
Earthquakes magnitude prediction using deep learning for the Horn of Africa
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-07-01)Earthquakes are vibrations of the Earth's surface that can cause ground shaking, fires, tsunamis, landslides and fissures. These natural phenomena can cause destruction and kill lives. When there is a possibility of an ... -
Eastborough oil field, Sedgwick County, Kansas
(Wichita State University, 1932- 05)The Eastborough Oil Field was discovered in 1929 and since that time has developed into one of the important fields of Sedgwick County. Its production comes from the top of the "Mississippi Lime", Misener Sand and Viola ... -
Editorial: Westward growth of Laurentia by pre-late Jurassic terrane accretion, Eastern Oregon and Western Idaho, United States: a discussion
(University of Chicago Press, 2016-01)Advances in the Blue Mountains province (BMP) and adjacent areas of the Pacific Northwest have required an occasional updating of terms used to express new concepts (“trans-Idaho discontinuity” [Yates 1968], “Sr-isotopic ... -
Effects of added organic matter and water on soil carbon sequestration in an arid region
(PLoS ONE, 2013-07-16)It is generally predicted that global warming will stimulate primary production and lead to more carbon (C) inputs to soil. However, many studies have found that soil C does not necessarily increase with increased plant ... -
Effects of burial in sand and water supply regime on seedling emergence of six species
(Oxford University Press, 2005-06)Air seeding has long been regarded as a quick and successful measure for vegetation rehabilitation in China. However, seedling emergence of often-used species including Agriophyllum squarrosum, Artemisia sphaerocephala, ... -
Effects of light, temperature and water stress on germination of Artemisia sphaerocephala
(Wiley, 2005-05)Artemisia sphaerocephala is widely used for vegetation rehabilitation, but its germination is very low after air seeding of achenes. We explored effects of light, temperature and water stress on germination. Results show ... -
Effects of quick vs slow-release fertilizers on nitrate movement into groundwater following precipitation events
(Wichita State University, 2022-05)This research investigated the effect of quick-release and slow-release fertilizers on the transport of nitrate through the subsurface. The main focus of this study was studying nitrate concentrations in subsurface water ... -
Effects of residual hydrocarbons on the reed community after 10 years of oil extraction and the effectiveness of different biological indicators for the long-term risk assessments
(Elsevier Ltd., 2015-01)The selection of certain indicators is critical to undertake ecological risk assessments of long-term oil pollution and other environmental changes. The indicators should be easily and routinely monitored, be sensitive to ... -

Effects of temperature and leaf wetness duration on infection of pear leaves by Venturia pirina
(CSIRO Publishing, 1999-12)The effects of temperature and wetness duration on the infection of pear leaves (Pyrus communis L.) by Venturia pirina were studied by inoculating plants with ascospores and conidia under controlled conditions and in the ... -
Electron reduction of chromium (VI) to chromium (III) by bacterial strains
(Wichita State University, 2021-05)Chromium (Cr) is a heavy metal commonly used in industrial settings worldwide and is therefore a source of contamination in the environment due to leaks, spills, and releases. In the environment, chromium takes the highly ... -
Elevated CO2 accelerates net assimilation rate and enhance growth of dominant shrub species in a sand dune in central Inner Mongolia
(Elsevier, 2010-02)It has been reported that elevated CO2 can enhance plant growth and water use, and that desert plants in particular will show the strongest response to rising atmospheric CO2 due to the strong water stress on these plants. ... -
Environmental factors influencing maturation and release of ascospores of Venturia pirina in Victoria, Australia
(CSIRO Publishing, 2001-08)The influence of moisture, light, and temperature on Venturia pirina ascospore maturation and discharge was studied during 1992-99 in 2 pear-growing regions in Victoria. In each year and site, mature ascospores were trapped ... -
Facies characterization and mechanism of termination of a tertiary carbonate platform: Rajamandala Fm., West Java
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)The objective is to better understand an Oligocene coral reef ecosystem, exposed in SW Java as a scenic ridge of karst towers. Extensive mining threatens to destroy the spectacular scenery and important geological history. ... -
Factors influencing seismicity in south-central Kansas and northern Oklahoma
(Wichita State University, 2017-05)Waste water injection and seismicity in south-central Kansas and northern Oklahoma increased dramatically from 2010 to 2016. Areas with increased well counts, elevated disposal pressures, and elevated injection volumes ... -
Fluvial and lacustrine depositional systems and cyclostratigraphy of Upper Permian Wutonggou Formation, southern Bogda Mountains, NW China

Forecasting wheat yields in Australia with the Southern Oscillation Index
(CSIRO Publishing, 1992-12)Wheat yields in Australia have been correlated with values of the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI), an index of a major climatic phenomenon known to affect Australian rainfall. The SOI provides the basis for the seasonal ... -
