USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Post

Hello! We’re halfway through the expedition with two more weeks to go, so I thought it was time for another update! We’ve hit about 11 sampling stations so far and are nearing Greenland! We collect various samples at each station by deploying the CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth) and two coring devices. Then, we process the sediment core samples by extruding and slicing the core into 0.5 cm portions. If you’re interested in this process and what life at sea is like, you should definitely read more about it on Dr. Allison Jacobel’s blog (https://lnkd.in/dN6usk6W)! I wrote an entry on what sampling the sediment cores is like, so take a look!

Almost 9 years ago today we wrote the following article: "An Example of a One-Parameter Family of Rank-One Convex Stored Energies for Isotropic Compressible Solids" in journal of Elasticity. In this article we have demonstrated by hand a connection between Hook's law and the Neo-Hookean model by a family of one-parameter state equations. We can extend this family numerically for sure. But are there other similar families? How does the Taylor impact test work for such a family?

HydroPlus actively breaks the surface tension of water particles and makes it easier for the water and dust particles to agglomerate.

Chances are, you dont put alot of thought in how your septic tank works. Although if the thought arrives, here is a quick read what a leach field is. Enjoy! https://lnkd.in/gwe5ZRnU

A masterpiece built for the swine’s abode, IP Thirty Two-Hundred E, where power is bestowed. With flow like rivers, Power and spirit, Cold water shivers At thirty per minute. At Two-hundred BAR, true power defined, Cleaning is not only will of mind. Four-hundred and fifteen volts surge through, in phrases three aligned. The current bold and true, who knew? That the IP was so inclined. On farmland soil, where piglets roam free, Behold the IP Thirty Two-Hundred E.

With the Caribbean and and Gulf heating up this summer, we may be in for a ride with hurricanes. In the aftermath of a storm, Urban Foresters have an opportunity to replant key escape routes and response areas with wind resistant species. Mary Duryea and her team did an amazing job cataloging the wind resistance of 145 common tropic and Southeastern (US) species. This past year, Allyson Salisbury has let efforts to update this list. She and others in my lab combed the literature for post storm data sets, added in species data from wood science/forestry literature, and were able to create a model to predict wind resistance in 281 new species! Even more, she has laid out the path for including more species as more data become available. Check out her efforts below...including her free Excel-based tool (ETCHR) to help Urban Foresters determine how wind resistant their urban forest is based on their own inventory data.
