(2019-12-14)
Volunteerism in the undergraduate years can be a predictor highly correlated with remarkable increase in social integrity, civic-mindedness, (Astin & Sax, 1998; Eyler & Giles, 1999; Pascarella & Terenzini, 2005; Vogelgesang ...
Chemical and Physical Stability of Powdered Tagatose as Affected by Temperature and Relative Humidity
(2010-12-08)
Tagatose is a reduced-calorie monosaccharide that displays prebiotic properties. Water can interact with powdered tagatose to varying extents, depending upon the storage environment. Adsorbed water can impact the physical ...
Chemical characterization and biological assessment of Euterpe oleracea Mart. (açaí) for in vitro botanical-drug interactions with anticancer drugs
(2024-04-29)
Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, with an estimated 19.3 million new cases in 2020 and almost 10 million cancer deaths. Botanical dietary supplements (BDS) are consumed more by cancer patients than otherwise ...
Chemical characterization and biomarker fingerprinting of Deepwater Horizon oil spill residues
(2015-07-02)
On April 20th, 2010, the Deepwater Horizon (DWH), a semi-submersible drilling rig, located about 120 miles off the coast of Alabama, exploring for oil in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM), experienced a catastrophic blowout and ...
Chemical composition and pollution potential of fish and shrimp feeds
(2015-12-04)
The objectives of this research were to assess the resources use for producing aquaculture feeds and to determine the waste loads of nutrients to the culture system (system loads), along with the solution to reduce nutrient ...
Chemical Ecology and Management of Yellowmargined Leafbeetle Microtheca ochroloma Stal (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)
(2011-08-22)
Cruciferous vegetable production is an important industry in Alabama and other parts of the southern United States (U.S.). Many farmers in the region grow various kinds of cruciferous crops (e.g., turnip, radish, mustard, ...
Chemical Ecology of Some Underexplored Aspects of Plant-Herbivore-Parasitoid Tritrophic Interactions
(2017-11-28)
Plants, herbivorous insects and their natural enemies are involved in an intricate tritrophic interaction in a complex chemical environment. Herbivore infested plants, as well as plant-fed herbivores release volatile organic ...
Chemical Factors Influencing Colloid Mobilization and Th(IV) Transport through Saturated Subsurface Sediment
(2012-07-10)
In recent years, subsurface colloid mobilization has attracted considerable attention due to its suspected role in enhancing the transport of strongly adsorbing contaminants. Such colloid-facilitated contaminant transport ...
Chemical Functionalization of Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes for Compatibilization with Unsaturated Polyester Resin
