Alternate In-Situ Environmental Testing System by Matrix Design
(2009-03-30)
Compared with the existing in-situ environmental testing system, this alternative one got significant improvement on measuring capacity, total cost, as well as number of connections that must be made between the hardware ...
Alternative Approaches for Repressible Transgenic Sterilization of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
(2017-10-12)
Transgenic sterilization has the potential for accomplishing 100% reproductive confinement to avoid genetic communication of transgenic or domestic genotypes with wild populations. Two strategies of transgenic sterilization ...
Alternative Beef Finishing Strategies: Effects on Animal Performance, Retail Shelf Life, Sensory, Fatty Acid Profile and Lipid Stability
(2006-12-15)
The effect of supplemental concentrate levels to steers finished on winter annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) or full concentrate (GRAIN) was studied. Initial color, fatty acid profile, retail shelf-life, lipid ...
Alternative Control Options for Annual Bluegrass: Response to Zinc
(2012-08-15)
Annual bluegrass (Poa annua L.) is the most problematic winter weed that turfgrass managers face in the southeast U.S. Herbicides are often used to control annual bluegrass, however this weed quickly invades most turf ...
Alternative Forage Systems for Developing Replacement Heifers
(2020-05-11)

Alternative Fuels and Their Effects on Portland Cement
(2010-07-19)
The production of portland cement is a complex process involving several materials, complex systems, and temperatures on the order of 1500 °C. Non-renewable fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum coke, and natural gas have ...
Alternative Growth and Interface Passivation Techniques for SiO2 on 4H-SiC
(2008-12-15)
Silicon Carbide is a novel wide band gap semiconductor material with excellent thermal, chemical and electrical properties. It also shares its natural oxide SiO2 with Si, which has been widely studied and optimized for ...
Alternative ingredients in practical diets for Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
(2017-04-27)
It is a well-known that fish meal supplies will not increase as most fisheries are beyond sustainable limits. If aquaculture and shrimp production in particular is expected to expand, the industry must move away from fish ...
Alternative Mulch Species, With and Without Dimethenamid-p, for Weed Control in Nursery Container Production
(2015-12-14)
Weed control has been a persistent problem in the nursery industry. These antagonistic weeds incur many challenges and cost to control them as well as reducing the container plants marketability (Neal, 1999; Simpson et al, ...
Alternative Solid Fuels for the Production of Portland Cement
(2008-12-15)
