Potential carbon losses from peat profiles: effects of temperature, drought cycles and fire
Download1992
Wein, R. W., Hogg, E. H., Lieffers, V. J.
Abstract: Global warming and the resultant increase in evapotranspiration might lead to lowered water tables in peatlands and an increase in fire frequency. The objective of this study was to investigate some of the potential effects of these changes on peat decomposition. Dry mass losses and...

Principal components of super-high dimensional statistical features and support vector machine for improving identification accuracies of different gear crack levels under different working conditions
Download2015
Tsui, Kwok Leung, Zuo, Ming J., Tse, Peter W., Wang, Dong
Gears are widely used in gearbox to transmit power from one shaft to another. Gear crack is one of the most frequent gear fault modes found in industry. Identification of different gear crack levels is beneficial in preventing any unexpected machine breakdown and reducing economic loss because...

The Naïve Theory is one the dominant accounts amongst philosophers of language. This theory has much to offer, however it does not in all cases bode well with intuitions. Two puzzles are raised and investigated here. The first is a puzzle regarding certain simple sentences. The Naïve Theory does...

Many sports biomechanics research studies follow a traditional task analysis concept that there is only one best possible movement pattern and thus focus on the examination of kinematics and kinetics of movement without considering the influence of constraints that are imposed on it. This study...

Specific Activation of the Na+/H+ exchanger gene during neuronal differentiation of embryonal carcinoma cells
Download1995-01-01
Dyck, Jason R. B., Fliegel, Larry
We examined the regulation of the NaGraphic/HGraphic exchanger gene during differentiation of the P19 mouse embryonal carcinoma cells. Treatment of P19 cells with retinoic acid induces the development of neurons, astroglia, and microglia cells. Upon retinoic acid-induced differentiation of P19...

The biosphere as an increasing sink for atmospheric carbon: estimates from increased nitrogen deposition
Download1993
Estimates of carbon uptake and storage based on global nitrogen deposition, C:N ratios for typical terrestrial ecosystems, and recent ecosystem-scale nutrient studies indicate that 1.0- 2.3 Gt C yr-1 of carbon storage may be stimulated by anthropogenically caused increases in nitrogen deposition...

The Effects of a Quality Grading System on the Development of Consumer Driven Best Practice Value Chains: The Example of Meat Standards Australia
DownloadFall 2010
This research project analyzes the beef grading system in Australia. Firstly, the Meat Standards Australia (MSA) grading system as a potential value-creating and value chain-coordinating mechanism is investigated. In-depth interviews with value chain stakeholders and industry experts suggest...

Wasylishen, R. E., Bernard, G. M., Quideau, S. A., Norris, C. E., Landhausser, S. M.
Abstract: Enriching plant tissues with C-13 and N-15 isotopes has provided long-lasting, non-reactive tracers to quantify rates of terrestrial elemental fluxes (e.g., soil organic matter decomposition). However, the molecular location and level of isotope enrichment may differ among plant...
