  • Super-Compost at Missouri Organic 7700 E
    Soil Regeneration Super-Compost at Missouri Organic 7700 E. US 40 Highway, KC, MO 64129 Winter 2017 Since June 2016, a few of us have worked together to make a better commercial compost. Our team collaborated with the goal to produce a “premium compost” able to deliver consistent, reliable results for effective use in commercial food production, horticulture and landscaping. Kevin Anderson, Vice President of Missouri Organic, was enthusiastic, did his own research, contributed his own ideas and materials. Despite setbacks, Kevin persisted to advance this effort a huge leap forward. In a recent email, Kevin set the bar high for our first test batch by naming it carbon that increases water-holding capacity and improves "super-compost." I’m confident we can deliver that quality – fertilizer efficiency. This boosts Cation Exchange Capacity but maybe not fully on the first try. (CEC), and adds Anion Exchange Capacity (AEC) to also capture nitrogen and phosphorus. Finally, the biomass is Monday January 30, we built the first experimental inoculated by a broader diversity of microbes beyond the usual digesting bacteria. The ultimate result of these improvements is compost with measurably higher fertility, higher performance, higher yield, and higher quality crops. Our first experiment began as a 300-foot long, 900- cubic-yard windrow of ground yard waste, with restaurant and retail food waste. Assorted minerals were blended into biochar, then moistened with wood vinegar and sea minerals. This was spread on top of the windrow. After two passes with a compost turner, minerals and biochar were nicely, finely mixed into a soft, porous pile of biomass.

  • Mouth-Lighting.Pdf
    Chemistry Mouth Lightning Primary Audience: All Ages Description: Participants will make observations about triboluminescence using Wintergreen Lifesavers. Keywords: Triboluminescence, Bioluminescence, Cold Light Concepts: • Light can be produced without heat. • Light produced without heat is called "cold light" • Cold light can be produced by crushing certain materials. • Some materials can absorb ultraviolet light, which we cannot see, and reemit it as light waves we can see. Materials: • Wintergreen Lifesavers • Pliers (optional) • Sugar Cubes (optional) Instructions: For this experiment, I'm going to give you some candy. Since the candy is part of the experiment, I want you to promise me that you won't eat the candy until I explain how to do the experiment. Okay?? Great! Each of you will get two pieces of candy. One to use in while you are in this workshop and one to take home, so you can do this experiment again after you get home! Be certain you give this bit of information before you hand out the candy! Does everyone have two pieces of candy now? Then you need to put one in your carrying bag, and carefully hold on to the other one for just a little while longer. Don't put it in your mouth just yet, because if it gets wet, the experiment won't work. If you hands are sweaty, hold the candy between your thumb and forefinger, like this. When we get ready to do this experiment, you are going to put the candy in your mouth just a little to the side, with the widest part of the candy between your teeth, like this.

  • Surface Distribution and X-Ray Emission from Scotch Tape
    Surface Distribution and X-Ray Emission From Scotch Tape by Kelly McGuire A senior thesis submitted to the Department of Physics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science Department of Physics Brigham Young University – Idaho July – 2012 BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY – IDAHO DEPARTMENT APPROVAL of a senior thesis submitted by Kelly McGuire This thesis has been reviewed by the research committee and senior thesis coordinator/advisor and has been found to be satisfactory. Date David Oliphant, Senior Thesis Coordinator/Advisor Date Kevin Kelley, Committee Member Date Ryan Nielson, Committee Member Date Stephen Turcotte, Department Chair 1 ABSTRACT SURFACE DISTRIBUTION AND X-RAY EMISSION FROM SCOTCH TAPE Kelly McGuire Department of Physics Bachelor of Physics Triboluminescence is an optical phenomenon in which light is generated when certain materials are pulled apart, ripped or rubbed, and through the breaking of chemical bonds. This observable effect is not fully understood; however, a few strongly supported hypotheses are being developed to model the triboluminescent event. It is believed that the separation and ionization of electrical charges is the foundation for the creation of the observed light and x-rays (figure1). FIG. 1 Triboluminescent Light Time dependence of x-ray production and physical surface distribution was the primary focus of my research. This research will help in the development and support of current hypotheses, and may become the foundation for other theories in the future. Other research teams such as Putterman’s UCLA group believe that finding a definite mechanism for the x-ray emission of this type will allow them to harness the energy more efficiently, which in turn will be used in applications such as medical devices 2 to destroy tumors with bursts of x-rays.

  • Effects of Soil Remineralization by Rock Dust on the Emergence and Early Growth of Banana (Musa Acuminata) Smart M.O., Adesida O.A., Okunlola T.O., Isola J.O
    GSJ: Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2019 ISSN 2320-9186 763 GSJ: Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2019, Online: ISSN 2320-9186 www.globalscientificjournal.com EFFECTS OF SOIL REMINERALIZATION BY ROCK DUST ON THE EMERGENCE AND EARLY GROWTH OF BANANA (MUSA ACUMINATA) SMART M.O., ADESIDA O.A., OKUNLOLA T.O., ISOLA J.O ABSTRACT The study evaluated the effects of soil remineralization by rock dust on the emergence and early growth of Banana (Musa acuminata). Pot experiments were conducted to determine the effect of remineralization of soil using granite and basalt rock dusts as soil remineralizers. There were seven treatments including control used for the experiment and these were replicated four times. The treatments were T1 (0.5tons/ha of granite dust per 2kg of top soil), T2 (0.5tons/ha of basalt dust per 2kg of top soil), T3 (1.0tons/ha of granite dust per 2kg of top soil), T4 (1.0tons/ha of basalt dust per 2kg of top soil), T5 (1.5tons/ha of granite dust per 2kg of top soil), T6 (1.5tons/ha of basalt dust per 2kg of top soil), T7 (Control). The experiment was laid out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Data were collected on days of emergence, number of leaves, plant height (cm) and stem girth (cm) for 5 weeks. Watering was done twice daily both in the morning and evening. Data collected were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and no significance means among the treatments except for number of leaves at 0.05 level of significance. The results showed that T6 (1.5tons/ha basalt) had the best mean days to emergence (16.75) while T7 (control) had the least mean performance for emergence (33.50).

Dictionary authority. This list, by virtue of its dictionary link, has far more authority than a conventional professional-subject glossary, even the one offered online by the University of Maryland Medical Center.

    Anthropological Genetics Anthropological genetics is a field that has been in existence since the 1960s and has been growing within medical schools and academic departments, such as anthropology and human biology, ever since. With the recent developments in DNA and computer technologies, the field of anthropological genetics has been redefined. This volume deals with the molecular revolution and how DNA markers can provide insight into the processes of evolution, the mapping of genes for complex phenotypes and the reconstruction of the human diaspora. In addition to this, there are explanations of the technological developments and how they affect the fields of forensic anthropology and population studies, alongside the methods of field investigations and their contribution to anthropological genetics. This book brings together leading figures from the field to provide an up-to-date introduction to anthropological genetics, aimed at advanced undergraduates to professionals, in genetics, biology, medicine and anthropology.
