Abstract Morphological factors significantly impact maize stalk strength, but no study has fully characterized the of shape on strength. This uses a data-driven and machine-learning modeling approach to characterize these relationships through comprehensive sensitivity analysis model inputs. Using 3D parameterized models gave higher level control than previous studies by adding more parameters, with increase dimensionality. The large dimensionality was greatly reduced via principal component...
Numerous anthropogenic and natural particle contaminants exist in diverse aquatic systems, with widely unknown environmental fates. We coupled a flow tube digital in-line holographic microscopy (nano-DIHM) technique for matrices, situ real-time analysis of size, shape, phase. Nano-DIHM enables 4D tracking particles water their transformations three-dimensional space. demonstrate that nano-DIHM can be automated to detect track oil spills/oil droplets dynamic systems. provide evidence the MS2...
Organic and inorganic emerging contaminants are omnipresent in the Earth's ecosystem. Biological contaminants, such as pharmaceutical materials, of environmental health concern. In this study, ice nucleation efficiency (INE) for immersion freezing under mixed-phase cloud conditions eight synthetic antibiotics hormones, progesterone, testosterone, gentamicin sulfate, l-thyroxine, daidzein, dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane (DDT), bisphenol A, estradiol, were evaluated. The effect adding...
Chlorine atoms play a key role in the oxidative potential of atmosphere and biogeochemical cycling selected elements. This study provides decadal analysis (2010−2019) chloride ions PM2.5 particles city Montreal, where these are most concentrated systematically winter (up to 1.6 µg/m3). We also herein present measurement photolabile chlorine, which includes chlorine-containing compounds (e.g., Cl2, HOCl, ClNO2, ClNO3, BrCl) that release chlorine upon interaction with radiation, urban Canada...
This is a three-year effort to develop plan for carbonated brine injection, with an end goal of path pilot scale implementation. Carbonated injection (CBI) strategy was planned potential site through simulation study. Methods include geology model, reservoir modeling, wellbore materials compatibility and corrosion reactive transport modeling.
Abstract Maize stalk lodging is the structural failure of prior to harvest and a major problem for maize (corn) producers plant breeders. To address this problem, it critical understand precisely how geometric material parameters influence strength. Computational models could be powerful tool in such investigations, but current methods creating computational are costly, time-consuming and, most importantly, do not provide parameterized control parameters. The purpose study was develop...
