Energy-harvested Lightweight Cryptosystems
The Internet of Things will include many resource-constrained lightweight wireless sensing devices, hungry for energy, bandwidth and compute cycles. The sheer amount of devices involved will require new solutions to handle issues such as identification and power provisioning. First, to simplify …

Artificial curing of mechanically harvested Virginia-type peanuts
… for successfully drying mechanically harvested Virginia peanuts by artificial means. The work was performed at the Tidewater Research Station, Holland, Virginia. It was performed in bulk-type bins which were seven feet deep. Two tests, which consisted of four treatments and four …

Residues of cypermethrin, dimethoate and metalaxyl in locally harvested carrots
… or absence of 3 of these pesticides in locally harvested carrots was then studied. These 3 pesticides were: cypermethrin, dimethoate and metalaxyl. This since in Malta importation of chlorfenvinphos is banned, while that of omethoate and triazophos is restricted. This however does not exclude …

Tree Canopy Effects on Roof-Harvested Rainwater in East Texas
… the effects of arboreal overhang on roof-harvested rainwater quality collected in East Texas. Three treatments were evaluated: Rainwater collected from roofs without any overhanging tree vegetation, rainwater collected from roofs under predominantly Southern yellow pine tree cover, and …

Toxoplasma gondii in wildlife traditionnally harvested by Inuit of Nunavik, Canada
… Wild geese harbor the parasite and hunter-harvested geese are a plausible source of T. gondii, although the probability of exposure is low based on consumer data collected during this thesis. Risk communication messages should provide information on specific zoonotic parasites, as well as …

Preservation of sperm harvested from the rat, caprine, equine, and bovine epididymis
The interest in preserving endangered species has increased the amount of attention lent to the recovery of functional sperm from the epididymides of deceased males (Foote, 2000). Postmortem specimens have a finite time period before decomposition affects functionality. Determination of this …

The Effectiveness of Periodically-Harvested Closures in Meeting Ecological and Socioeconomic Objectives
<p>Periodically-harvested fisheries closures (PHCs) are a widespread form of community-based marine spatial management used throughout the Indo-Pacific that also is currently being intensively advocated by conservation organizations for supporting productive fisheries and healthy marine ecosystems. …

Hydrothermal liquefaction of wild-harvested cyanobacterial bloom from hypereutrophic Lake Tainter, Wisconsin
… use of this biohazardous material. Using a wild-harvested cyanobacteria HAB from Lake Tainter, Wisconsin as a low-cost feedstock for HTL, the projected Minimum Fuel Selling Price of reformed biocrude produced from the Lake Tainter HAB is 18-29% lower than biocrude produced from cultivated algae. …

Barley silage harvested at boot and soft dough stages for lactating cows
Barley (Hordeum vulgare, L.) harvested at boot (5/7/88) and soft dough (6/6/88) stages of maturity was ensiled for nutritive comparisons. Boot stage was wilted and soft dough was direct cut at 15 (SD-Lo) and 25 cm (SD-Hi) above ground. Yields (kg DM/ha) were 3690, 8750 and 6287 for boot, SD-Lo and …

Effect of potential shape and excitation spectrum on power harvested from ambient vibration
… thesis is to understand the dependence of power harvested on the shape of the potential-in the transition from linear to bistable. A single degree-of-freedom mathematical model was developed and simulated in MATLAB over varying operating conditions and potential function parameters. The findings …

Analysis of the baling concept for increased fiber recovery on harvested forest sites
The feasibility of baling forest residues has been ascertained by examining three segments of the baling concept. These are: the in-woods evaluation of baling; the transportation aspects of the baling concept; and the utilization of baled forest residues for energy production at pulp and paper …

An analysis of solute transport on a harvested hillslope in the southern Appalachian Mountains
… National Forest in North Carolina that was harvested in February 2006 with retention of a 10-m riparian buffer. To quantify the movement of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), and dissolved organic carbon (DOC), four transects of lysimeters, approximately 30 …

Utilization potential for pulp and paper of southern pine harvested from beetle infested forests
From the results of this study, the following conclusions may be drawn: (1) Pulp yield is not affected significantly by allowing the dead trees to remain on the stump for extended periods of time (three years). (2) Canadian Standard Freeness increases significantly at high beating times as wood …

Surplus and Scarce Energy: Designing and Optimizing Security for Energy Harvested Internet of Things
… two scenarios, where there is surplus or scarce harvested energy. In situations where the harvester is capable of harvesting beyond its storage capacity, the surplus energy is wasted. In situations where the harvester does not have sufficient resources, the sparse harvested energy can only …

Harvested log damage and value loss associated with two ground-based harvesting systems in central Appalachia
… potential value of the residual stand. Damage to harvested logs, especially hardwood saw and veneer logs can be an even more important concern relative to value loss associated with log degrade. The log damage and value loss were examined by harvesting system, felling function, species, and damage …

The microbial communities and nutrient availability in pre and post harvested lodgepole pine stands of west-central Alberta
All organisms within a forested system play a role in the biogeochemical cycle, not only within the forest but also within the global community. Soil microorganisms are a vital part of this cycle, as they sequester or make nutrients available for the development of the forest environment. When a …

Detection of Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium parvum in the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) harvested from the Great Bay Estuary
<p>The Great Bay Estuarine system is being impacted by point source and nonpoint source pollution that affect shellfish quality. Many outbreaks of human gastroenteritis are potentially caused by the consumption of raw or undercooked oysters in which the protozoan pathogens, Giardia lamblia and …
