Use of Automated Sampler to Characterize Urban Stormwater Runoff in Pecan Creek
… SS201 to characterize the urban runoff in Pecan Creek. Location of the samplers was influenced by land use and ease of installation. Determination of the constituents for analysis was modeled after those used in the NPDES permit for seven cities within the Dallas/Ft.Worth metroplex. Some …

A microculture approach towards enhanced productivity and genetic improvement of pecan (Carya illinoensis)
Mature pecan nuts provide a more convenient, practical, and readily available explant source, and extend the sampling period for in vitro research on this species to a year-round basis. Axenic cultures from mature pecan embryos were established in vitro by reducing the water availability in the …

Surface layer processes and nocturnal low-level jet development--an observational study during PECAN
… in the 2015 Plains Elevated Convection at Night (PECAN) research project and collected high-resolution stable boundary layer data as it evolved through the night. The objective of this study was to use this dataset to identify the impact of LLJ presence on surface layer properties, such as thermal …

Sensory directed determination of odor important components of natural (raw) and roasted pecan oil
Since their discovery, pecans have been enjoyed as a nutritious and flavorful snack, eventually staking their claim as a cherished baking ingredient with notable desserts including the pecan pie and the pecan praline. The utility of the pecan has been further expanded in recent years with the …

High resolution numerical simulation of a nocturnal mesoscale convective system: Comparison with pecan observations
… Great Plains region of the United States. The PECAN (Plains Elevated Convection at Night) project was designed to improve our understanding of how these storms can develop and maintain themselves in the absence of traditional sources of CAPE (Convective Available Potential Energy). This thesis …

Measuring Root Growth Response to Nitrogen Fertilization Rates in Young Pecan Seedlings Using the Minirhizotron Method
Pecan is an important nut crop in Texas and the United States. Increased demand for pecan exports has created an interest for new and current growers to plant new orchards. Nitrogen (N) application is an important step in establishing a productive pecan orchard, but few studies have determined how …

Water Quality Aspects of an Intermittent Stream and Backwaters in an Urban North Texas Watershed
Pecan Creek flows southeast through the City of Denton, Texas. Characterized as an urban watershed, the basin covers approximately 63.5 km2. Pecan Creek is an intermittent stream that receives nonpoint runoff from urban landuses, and the City of Denton's wastewater treatment plant, Pecan Creek …

Recovery of the Fish Population of a Municipal Wastewater Dominated, North Texas Creek After a Major Chlorine Disturbance
… chlorine disturbance on fish communities in Pecan creek by the City of Denton's Pecan Creek Water Reclamation Plant. Fish communities in Pecan Creek were sampled using a depletion methodology during February, April, July, and November, 1999. February and April sampling events showed that the …

Postprandial Effects of Pecans Ingestion on Plasma Level of Nutrients, Polyphenolic Compounds and Biomarkers of Antioxidant Status in Human Volunteers
<p>Pecans (<em>Carya illinoinensis</em>) are rich sources of polyphenolic compounds and nutrients, which have antioxidant capacity results in favorable reductions in plasma lipids and lipoproteins. However, the health benefits of pecans may not be limited to blood lipid changes. There has been very …

Concentrations of Triclosan in the City of Denton Wastewater Treatment Plant, Pecan Creek, and the Influent and Effluent of an Experimental Constructed Wetland
The Pecan Creek Waste Reclamation Plant in Denton, Texas, an activated sludge WWTP, was sampled monthly for ten months to determine seasonal and site variation in concentrations of triclosan (5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol), an antibacterial additive. SNK separation after the highly …

Human-Guided Learning for Personalizing Robot Behaviors
… multiple tasks. For this setting, we introduce PECAN (Personalizing Robot Behavior through a Learned Canonical Space), a learning and interface-based approach that enables users to directly select their desired style. PECAN learn a continuous canonical space from demonstrations, where each point …

Determination of tocopherol isomers and fatty acids in cottonseed oil and oil blends during accelerated storage
… isomers in cottonseed, corn, canola, peanut and pecan oils and 50% cottonseed oil blends and also commercially available cottonseed oil containing TBHQ. The oil samples were stored at 65°C for a total of 120 days. The α and γ-tocopherol concentration of each sample were determined using a Waters, …
