Changes in net ecosystem productivity and greenhouse gas exchange with fertilization of Douglas fir: Mathematical modeling in ecosys
Download2010
Bruemmer, C., Jassal, R. S., Grant, R. F., Black, T. A.
Abstract: The application of nitrogen fertilizers to Douglas fir forests is known to raise net ecosystem productivity (NEP), but also N(2)O emissions, the CO(2) equivalent of which may offset gains in NEP when accounting for net greenhouse gas (GHG) exchange. However, total changes in NEP and...

Since the late 1970s, the design of chemical processes has evolved towards highly integrated operations that can increase plant efficiency. Although plant-wide integration offers substantial opportunities to improve the performance of an entire plant, it often results in large-scale systems that...

CS23D: A web server for rapid protein structure generation using NMR chemical shifts and sequence data
Download2008
Wishart, D.S., Berjanskii, M., Arndt, D., Lin, G., Tang, P., Zhou, J.
CS23D (chemical shift to 3D structure) is a web server for rapidly generating accurate 3D protein structures using only assigned nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) chemical shifts and sequence data as input. Unlike conventional NMR methods, CS23D requires no NOE and/or J-coupling data to perform...

Diurnal and annual exchanges of mass and energy between an aspen-hazelnut forest and the atmosphere: testing the mathematical model ecosys with data from the BOREAS experiment
Download1999
Russell, C., den Hartog, G., Grant, R.F., Berry, J.A., Yang, P.C., Neumann, H.H., Blanken, P.D., Black, T.A., Gower, S.T.
There is much uncertainty about the net carbon (C) exchange of boreal forest ecosystems, although this exchange may be an important part of global C dynamics. To resolve this uncertainty, net C exchange has been measured at several sites in the boreal forest of Canada as part of the Boreal...

Chang, S. X., Bhatti, J., Choi, W. J.
Abstract: The lowering of the water table resulting from peatland drainage may dramatically alter C and N cycling in peatland ecosystems, which contain one-third of the total terrestrial C. In this study, tree annual ring width and C (delta C-13) and N (delta N-15) isotope ratios in soil and...

The relationship between trees and ectomycorrhizal fungi is fundamental for tree growth and survival, particularly in the boreal forests of North America where low temperatures inhibit decomposition and consequently limit nutrient availability. The responses of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities...

Effects of dietary enrichment with a marine oil-based n-3 LCPUFA supplement in sows with predicted birth weight phenotypes on birth litter quality and growth performance to weaning
Download2015
Patterson, Jennifer L., Foxcroft, George R., Dixon, Walter T., Spencer, Joel D., Smit, M. N., Dyck, Michael K.
The effects of a marine oil-based n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (mLCPUFA) supplement fed to the sow from weaning, through the rebreeding period, during gestation and until end of lactation on litter characteristics from birth until weaning were studied in sows with known litter birth...

Effects of dietary enrichment with a marine oil-based n-3 LCPUFA supplement in sows with predicted birth weight phenotypes on growth performance and carcass quality of offspring
Download2015
Dyck, Michael K., Foxcroft, George R., Patterson, Jennifer L., Dixon, Walter T., Smit, M. N., Spencer, Joel D.
Effects of a marine oil-based n-3 LCPUFA supplement (mLCPUFA) fed from weaning until the end of the next lactation to sows with a predicted low litter birth weight (LBW) phenotype on growth performance and carcass quality of litters born to these sows were studied, based on the hypothesis that...

Environmental factors affecting an experimental low-density mass grave near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
DownloadFall 2010
The investigation of mass graves involves aspects of high political, judicial, and emotional impact. Understanding how bodies held within mass graves change between the time they are deposited and the time they are discovered (the realm of forensic taphonomy) is vital for competent collection of...
