Anemometry tools and procedures for greenhouse experiments
… provide a useful environment for conducting plant studies, facilitating manipulation and measurement of many variables in the plant microclimate. Photosynthesis, transpiration, thigmomorphogenic responses, and particle transport all depend on the level of air speed at the leaf/atmosphere …

Biosynthesis of Utilizable Microbial Biomass in the Treatment of Milk Wastes in High-Rate Filters
… were selected from twenty-nine for further studies based on their frequency of isolation. Laboratory studies established the optimum growth conditions for these fungi in batch culture. The effects of temperature, pH and feed strength on fungal growth were determined using agar plates, flask …

Characterization of sodium transport at the plasma membrane of Spergularia marina
Plants vary in their whole plant strategies for managing the sodium (Na$\sp{+}$) present in their environment, but current models predict that they have a common strategy at the cellular level: exclusion from the cytoplasm. This entails either passive exclusion mediated by low plasma membrane …

A dedicated mechanism for forgetting : fiction and the ghosts of the plantationocene
… Gardens, the project retells histories of plant transportation and botanical exchange in the north coast of Honduras through the lens of plant agency, filmmaking, critical plant studies, and magic. Utilizing this approach, this thesis locates itself within recent botanical and speculative …

Terror en el Orinoco: Formas del espanto animal y vegetal en la historia natural de José Gumilla
<p>“Terror in the Orinoco: Forms of Animal and Plant Horror in the Natural History of José Gumilla”, analyzes the repertoire of terrifying plants and animals that the Spanish Jesuit missionary José Gumilla described in his 1745 compendium <em>El Orinoco Ilustrado y Defendido </em>—a work that, …

Computerized feedback control of an environmental chamber
… controlled artificial environment for plant studies. This project demonstrates the control of temperature, humidity and SO₂ concentration in a Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) system using feedback control through a computer. An IBM-PC was connected to the measuring …

Comparing Ferrous Chloride and Ferrous Sulfate as Secondary Coagulants at the Beaver Water District Drinking Water Treatment Plant
… in laboratory scale bench tests and pilot plant studies as a function of percent alum dose reduction (ADR). Results from bench scale jar tests and pilot plant study showed that settled water turbidity and DOC were not compromised up to ~40% ADR (18 mg/L as alum) and were indifferent to the …

Vanadium uptake and transport in higher plants
… and transport of vanadium in several higher plant species has been examined. Studies utilizing excised Hordeum roots have revealed the uptake patterns of two different ionic species of vanadium (V02+ and V03) to be similar. Both ionic forms exhibited a large extracellular component in their …

Botanical Biopolitics: The Sociopolitical Lives of Flowers in Victorian Britain
… is an archivally grounded investigation of plant-human relations in Victorian Britain which considers how people engaged with and thought about the plants which surrounded them in everyday life. Seeking to position Victorian plant-thinking as a significant antecedent of contemporary critical …

The feasibility of reverse osmosis as a water reclamation process with special reference to the rejection of organic compounds
… a number of separate desk, laboratory and pilot plant studies were conducted. It was concluded from the first desk study that a significant potential role exists for reverse osmosis in the South African water economy, mainly for the treatment of industrial effluents and, in the longer term, for …

Continuous color removal from concentrated dye waste discharges using reducing and oxidizing chemicals: a pilot plant study
… fabricate and test a 1 liter per minute pilot plant with a cascading sequence of continuously stirred tank reactors. The object of the research was to chemically decolorize selected reactive-dye bath concentrates resulting from exhaustive dyeing, and to remove metals and DOC using Fenton's …

Autotrophy of the Other: On Food and Hospitality
… about food and hospitality, and the way that plants make both of them possible. It argues that the history of western philosophy -- from its conceptions of the soul, of politics, of the home, etc. -- has worked to veil and occlude the existence of plants, and through this also the importance …

The development of transgenic plants resistant to cucumber mosaic virus and tobacco necrosis virus
… on yields of agriculturally important crop plants. The complete cDNA sequences of CMV-Wemmershoek (CMV-Wem) coat protein (CP) and TNV-F5P CP genes were cloned and subjected to sequence analysis. CMV-Wem is closely related to CMV-WL and CMV-Q, and therefore falls into CMV subgroup II. Similar …

Chinese Tallow Long-Term Impact on Stand Dynamics in a Bottomland Hardwood Forest Following Vegetation Management
… topic to research as only a few long-term studies of Chinese tallow control have been conducted. A 10-year re-measurement of 22 paired plots installed in 2012 on the Pineywoods Mitigation Bank near Diboll, Texas following herbicide treatments examined Chinese tallow and native tree stand …

Improved hyperspectral classification of vegetation through generative deep learning models.
Early studies into hyperspectral reflectance demonstrated that the spectra of different plants have the potential for taxonomic discrimination and classification, though this came with the caveat that misidentification was a frequent impediment as a result of small sample sizes, inter-class …
