Restored prairies are expected to improve soil physical properties, yet little is known about the extent of change to soil properties and how rapidly these changes take place. The objective of this study was to compare effects of prairie restoration on computed tomography (CT)-measured pore parameters. Undisturbed soil cores (76 mm diam. by 76 mm long) from native prairie (NP), restored prairie...

Many methods have been proposed that model the characteristics of light for producing realistic computer generated images in recent years. However, these aproaches are not adapted to take into account the typical properties of "any" light source and material. In order to generate simulations for industrial applications, as in the lighting industry, these emittance and reeectance properties have...

Gossypin is a bioflavonoid isolated from Hibiscus Vitifolus Linn. The antinociception activity of gossypin has been studied in comparison with the standard antinociception agent, morphine, against the experimental model of tonic continuous pain produced by formalin. Formalin (0.1ml of 1% solution) was injected under the plantar surface of right hind paw of mice and the time an animal spent in l...
