Environmental and behavioral factors associated with the infestation of vineyards by larvae of grape root borer
… in all blocks, spatial methods (variograms, SADIE) revealed aggregated distributions only in blocks with ≥ 0.5 pupal exuviae per vine. Independent pupal exuviae samples for population assessment in vineyards can be achieved using sampling points separated by >8.8 m. Combined results from …

Exploring the Limits of Boundary Element Methods for Wave Energy Converter Hydrodynamics
Boundary element methods (BEM) are used to calculate frequency-domain representations of hydrody-namic forces for moored and floating objects such as wave energy converters (WECs). The representations– excitation, added mass, and radiation damping in up to six degrees of freedom– define and scale …

Advanced applications of Raman spectroscopy and super-resolution imaging of biological and plant materials
<p>Plants are an essential resource for the Earth, yet there is still a significant lack of knowledge about the cells, tissues, and organs of plants compared to the human body. There is a great need for sensitive methods to analyze plants and biological materials to gain an in situ understanding of …

Investigating sources of microplastics and effects of plastic pollution on biofilm function in the Huron River
<p>Plastics are a global environmental threat due to mass production and the many unknowns regarding the long-term effects of plastic pollution in the environment. Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles less than 5 mm in size, and they have become ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems. MPs enter …

Untangling energy dependent radiation damping and chemical interface damping in gold nanorods
Plasmonic metal nanostructures have long been investigated for their use in light harvesting and sensing applications. It may be more favorable to enhance either radiative or non-radiative effects that arise after plasmon decay depending on the intended application. Therefore, understanding the …
