The College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources traces its history to 1869 when the University was designated as Tennessee's Federal Land-Grant Institution . Under terms of the Federal Land-Grant Act, the University was enabled for the first time to offer instruction in agriculture . This later was expanded to include research for the development of new knowledge and extension for di...

The following notes were prepared in response to criticism of Schopenhauer’s philosophy in a mailing list. The impression given was that the advances of the natural sciences since his death make his work irrelevant to modern science. I for one do not think that this is true. In these notes I do not try to convince the reader otherwise but select few examples of important scientists that were in...

In many fields dependant upon complex observation, the structuring, depiction and treatment of knowledge can be of great complexity. For example in Systematics, the scientific discipline that investigates bio-diversity, the descriptions of specimens are often highly structured (composite objects, taxonomic attributes), noisy (erroneous or unknown data), and polymorphous (variable or imprecise d...

One of the main requirements for ultra-large-scale integrations (ULSIs) is atomic-order control of process technology. Our concept of atomically controlled processing is based on atomic-order surface reaction control by CVD. By ultraclean low-pressure CVD using SiH4 and GeH4 gases, high-quality low-temperature epitaxial growth of Si1−xGex (100) (x = 0–1) with atomically flat surfaces and interf...
