Monitoring plant response to phenanthrene using the red edge of canopy hyperspectral reflectance
(Elsevier Ltd., 2014-09-15)To investigate the mechanisms and potential for the remote sensing of phenanthrene-induced vegetation stress, we measured field canopy spectra, and associated plant and soil parameters in the field controlled experiment ... -
Monitoring plant response to phenanthrene using the red edge of canopy hyperspectral reflectance
(Elsevier, 2014-07)To investigate the mechanisms and potential for the remote sensing of phenanthrene-induced vegetation stress, we measured field canopy spectra, and associated plant and soil parameters in the field controlled experiment ... -
Nature and origins of a stratigraphic boundary in a continental setting, southern Bogda Mountains, NW China
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)A nonmarine stratigraphic boundary where major facies shifts occur indicates drastic changes in environmental conditions, but may have highly variable magnitude of facies shifts to rapid lateral facies changes, common ... -
Optimization of a fiducial volume for a 10 kiloton water Cerenkov detector for geo-neutrinos
(Wichita State University, 2013-12)A fiducial volume is crucial in particle physics when trying to choose the shape and size of a particle detector. The fiducial volume is defined as the volume at which a specified number of energy events are to be accepted. ... -

Oxygen-carbon isotope stratigraphy of upper carboniferous to lower Permian marine deposits in Midcontinent U.S.A. (Kansas and ne Oklahoma): Implications for sea water chemistry and depositional cyclicity
(Springer, 2007-03)Late Pennsylvanian (upper Gzhelian = Virgilian) to early Permian (lower Artinskian = upper Wolfcampian) sea water chemistry and depositional cyclicity are evaluated based on oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions of ... -
Paleoenvironmental interpretation of the bandera shale formation, marmaton group, desmoinesian stage, middle Pennsylvanian in southeastern Kansas.
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)In southeastern Kansas and northeastern Oklahoma the Bandera Shale Formation (BSF) (Middle Pennsylvanian) crops out from Linn to Labette Counties in Kansas and in Nowata County, Oklahoma in units ranging from 12 cm to 20 ... -
Physiological analysis of the effect of fluoride air pollution on plant growth and development
(University of Queensland, 1985) -
Populations in landscapes
(Springer Netherlands, 2005-12)Halfway between Sweden and Finland, and separating the Baltic Sea from the Gulf of Bothnia, lies a vast group of islands known as the Åland archipelago. Consisting of more than 6,500 islands, Åland is home to a species of ... -
Prediction of aboveground net primary productivity and foliage projective cover in an arid area of China
(Taylor & Francis, 2011-09)It appears that two main factors hinder the effective incorporation of ecological information derived from computer modeling in resource management at large spatial scales: (1) some models are not ecologically sound and ... -
Preparation of engineering senior design course: Global learning integration
(IEEE, 2006-06)Engineering collaboration in today's interconnected global economy requires engineers who can understand, respect, and work collaboratively with different cultures around the world. Companies no longer design and build ... -
Prolonged metamorphism during long-lived terrane accretion: Sm-Nd garnet and U-Pb zircon geochronology and pressure-temperature paths from the Salmon River suture zone, west-central Idaho, USA
(Geological Society of America, 2017-10-01)The Salmon River suture zone of western Idaho (USA) records mid-crustal metamorphism and deformation associated with orogenesis during Mesozoic accretion of volcanic arc terranes to western Laurentia. We present petrographic ... -
Provenance analysis of Upper Permian-basal Triassic fluviallacustrine sedimentary rocks in the greater Turpan-Junggar Basin, southern Bogda Mountains, NW China
(Wichita State University, 2011-12)The Tian Shan region was identified as the source of Permian fluvial-lacustrine fills in the greater Turpan-Junggar basin. Thin-section petrographic study of thirty-six fine to very coarse lithic arenites from Upper ... -
A reconstruction of the Eurekan Orogeny incorporating deformation constraints
(American Geophysical Union, 2017-02)The Eurekan Orogeny records Paleogene convergence between Greenland and the Canadian Arctic. The complexity of the region, well represented by the disputed magnitude of Cenozoic sinistral displacement of Greenland relative ... -
Reservoir characterization of microbial reef reservoirs at Little Cedar Creek Field, Conecuh County, Alabama
(Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)Little Cedar Creek Field (LCCF) in Conecuh County, Alabama is the largest Smackover field discovered in the northern U.S. Gulf Coast in the last three decades. It is now the most productive field in the State of Alabama. ... -
Responses to air temperature and soil moisture of growth of four dominant species on sand dunes of central Inner Mongolia
(Springer Verlag, 2008-06)Little attention has been paid to how four dominant shrub species distributed in semi-arid areas respond to the combined effects of temperature and water supply. Seedlings of four species were grown in a glasshouse for ... -
Rift basin-fill architecture of fluvial-lacustrine Lower Permian Lucaogou and Hongyanchi low-order cycles, Bogda mountains, NW China
(Wichita State University, 2012-07)Rapid lateral facies and thickness changes, autogenic processes, and irregular topography of nonmarine rift basins challenge the application of traditional marine sequence stratigraphic techniques. Stratigraphic architecture ... -
