Effective denitrification scales predictably with water residence time across diverse systems
Nitrogen provides a fundamental building block for life. However, some nitrogen species (e.g., NO3) cause water quality degradation and contribute to climatic warming as a greenhouse gas (e.g., N…

In silico analysis for the presence of HARDY an Arabidopsis drought tolerance DNA binding transcription factor product in chromosome 6 of Sorghum bicolor genome
Expression of the Arabidopsis HARDY (hrd) DNA binding transcription factor (555 bp present on chromosome 2) has been shown to increase WUE in rice by Karaba et al 2007 (PNAS, 104:15270–15275). We c…

Dielectric Constant of Liquids (Fluids) Shown to be Simple Fundamental Relation of Density over Extreme Ranges from – 50o to + 600oC, Believed Universal
Examinations of past complex theoretical equations describing isothermal dielectric constants (ε) of liquids show that none describe experiments throughout and that only a two-constant eq…
