Chinese tallow tree is a noxious, invasive plant in the Southeastern United States. It is generally considered a nuisance and has no current commercial use. The objective of this research was to determine the moduli of rupture (MOR) and elasticity (MOE) of the stem wood of this species at different vertical sampling locations. Three Chinese tallow trees were felled and cut into bolts before sam...

ABSTRACT Survival and growth of the native oyster Crassostrea gasar along juvenile adult phases were evaluated in three different stocking densities [low (D), medium (2D) high (3D)] two grow-out systems (fixed floating system). The fixed system consisted a rack made with PVC, from bottom wood sticks. bags suspended by PVC maintained submerged seawater surface eight floats. shell height oysters ...

The addition of cottonwood and ash sapwood powder to YPSSl2 medium influenced the mycelial growth of 13 species of freshwater lignicolous Ascomycetes and Hyphornycetes. These species fall into three groups with respect to their responses to the presence of leached or non-leached wood powder. Neither wood type showed strong inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth of the species. Leaching di...
