ABSTRACT Engaging students in hands-on activities and providing out-of-school experiences have been shown to improve academic performance spark interest science. Our interdisciplinary team developed a workshop for middle high school as part of summer program at Hispanic-serving institution southern New Mexico. The goal was foster readiness science, technology, engineering, mathematics careers college entry. introduced viscoelasticity, key concept biophysics that describes the mechanical...
Abstract Turfgrass irrigation based on evaporative requirements strengthens water conservation efforts. A study was conducted from 1998 to 2000 determine actual evapotranspiration (ET a ) of warm and cool‐season turfgrasses develop crop coefficient ( K C values normalized for growing degree days. Predicted maximum ET were calculated, data second used validate the fitted polynomial functions. Estimated differed in 1999 ranged 5.42 mm day −1 Poa pratensis L. ‘Adelphi’ 1998) 6.69 Lolium perenne...
Abstract Several studies have demonstrated the water conservation potential of soil moisture sensor‐based irrigation scheduling on turfgrass areas; however, research is lacking accuracy satellite‐based measurements. A field study was conducted in 2023 to investigate values based electromagnetic pulses emitted from synthetic aperture radar mounted Sentinel‐1A. The estimates satellite remote sensing were compared measurements collected fairways 2 and 7 Sunset Golf Course (Las Campanas, NM) by...
Mechanical properties are essential for the biological activities of cells, and they have been shown to be affected by diseases. Therefore, accurate mechanical characterization is important studying cell lifecycle, cell-cell interactions, disease diagnosis. While cytoskeleton actin cortex typically primary structural stiffness contributors in most live oocytes possess an additional extracellular layer known as vitelline membrane (VM), or envelope, which can significantly impact their overall...
