How Porous Nanofibers Have Enhanced the Engineering of Advanced Materials: A Review

Nanofibers are one-dimensional nanomaterialswith a superfine diameter and many potential applicationsdue to their desirable characteristics such as small diameter,high surface area, high flexibility, high porosity, and specialmechanical properties. In the recent years, porous nanofibershave been the subject of considerable research works in awide range of app...

The integrated Rule Oriented Data Management System (iRODS) is a policy-driven data management system that is starting to be used by projects with large data volume requirements that require a highly available system. In this paper we describe an approach to provide a Highly Availability load-balanced iRODS System (HAIRS). We also describe the advantages and disadvantages of the approach and fu...

The need for precise and responsive management of N fertilizer in corn production is compelling for both economic and environmental reasons, but the optimum N rate remains an elusive notion. Economically optimal N rates (EONR) in much of North America may range from zero to 225 lb/A (Scharf et al., 2006; Sawyer et al. 2006), and may vary as the growing season progresses (van Es et al., 2007).
