Solarization as a means to eliminate invasive plant species and target the seedbank
… and to facilitate the survival of native plants. Tarps were used to eradicate existing plants followed by disturbance of the soil and watering to induce germination of subsoil weed seeds. As the new plant seedlings emerge, tarps are reapplied to eliminate that generation of seedbank plants. After …

Micro-computed tomography for interlaminar analysis, void quantification, and feature localization in carbon fiber composites
… microfibers, termed Tow-Aligned Resin Pockets (TARPs) herein. The porosity tool reveals macrovoids (volumes greater than 100 lim3) and microvoids (volumes less than 100 [mu]m 3) and localizes each void to the interlaminar or intralaminar regions. Macrovoids are studied in extant void …

MOLECULAR FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE BINDING OF AGONISTS TO AMPA RECEPTORS
… the role of a novel class of proteins called TARPs (transmembrane AMPA receptor regulatory proteins) that have recently been discovered to be tightly associated with AMPA receptors and to regulate their kinetics. Four of these proteins, named lambda;2(stargazin),λ3,λ4,and λ8 are abundant in …

Effects of Pack Weight on Endurance of Long-distance Hikers
… weather conditions, sleeping bags, tents, tarps, cooking gear, food, water and other accessories to compensate for the lack of comfort in the remote wilderness. These heavy weights may affect hikers' ability to walk in comfort and result in physical injuries such as ankle sprains, knee …

Cellular And Mechano-Active Material Approaches To Improve Disc Repair After Herniation
… development of tension-activated repair patches (TARPs), which deliver factors through the activation of encapsulated MAMCs. TARP-mediated disc repair and provision of anti-inflammatory factors was analyzed in a large animal model. The provision of structural support and anti-inflammatory …

Feasibility of the Use of Two Spent blast Materials as Aggregate in Hot Mix Asphalt in Louisiana Post-Katrina
… are a source of airborne debris and dust. Use of tarps as curtains only reduces this hazard. Secondly, storage piles of this waste are situated near canals, waterways and the Mississippi River. Future storms may carry these waste products into the neighboring waterways. Most importantly, these …

MONITORING URBAN DYNAMICS USING HIGH-SPATIAL AND HIGH-TEMPORAL RESOLUTION SATELLITE IMAGES
… and duration of temporary protective blue roofs (tarps) are identified and linked with socio-economic data for further analysis. Results estimated 14,767±586 buildings with temporary roof installations across five cities in Puerto Rico, or 6.3% of the total number of buildings, with the average …

Effects of non-planar distortions in porphyrin compounds on their properties and functionality
… or zinc ions at the core. Previous studies of TArPs attributed variance in rotational barrier with core substituent to differing macrocycle nonplanar distortions caused by these substituents. However, it was shown here that the rotational barrier variance could not be accounted for merely by …
